Isotope…or New Element?
(Modified from Kim George’s worksheet)
WORKSHEET 11 E
For each problem you are given a pair of elements. Based on the information about each elements, please determine if they are different elements or isotopes of the same element.
1.
Element D has 6 protons and 7 neutrons
Element F has 7 protons and 7 neutrons
2.
Element J has 27 protons and 32 neutrons
3.
Element x has 17 protons and 18 neutrons
Element Y has 18 protons and 17 neutrons
Element L has 27 protons and 33 neutrons
4.
Element Q has 56 protons and 18 neutrons
Element R has 56 protons and 82 neutrons
5.
Element T has an atomic number of 20 and an atomic mass of 40
Element Z has an atomic number of 21 and an atomic mass of 41
6.
Element W has 8 protons and 8 neutrons
Element V has 7 protons and 8 neutrons
7.
Element P has an atomic number of 92 and an atomic mass of 238
Element S has 92 protons and 143 neutrons
Now, you need to identify each element and give it the proper isotope name.Use page 323 in your textbook for help, and pages 338-339 or a periodic table handout
Example: Element D has 6 protons, which makes it Carbon. Its mass number is 13, so the proper name is Carbon-13
