Which of the following statements is correct?
Neutrons are located in the nucleus and have the same mass and charge than protons
An atom is mostly made up of empty spaces
The mass of an atom is evenly distributed throughout its volume
All of the above

How many protons, electrons and neutrons does 40Ca2+ have (knowing that calcium is the twentieth element in the periodic table)?
20 protons, 20 neutrons, 18 electrons
20 protons, 20 neutrons, 22 electrons
20 protons, 40 neutrons, 18 electrons
22 protons, 20 neutrons, 20 electrons
Calcium is the 20th element in the periodic table ⇒ 20 protons
mass number = protons + neutrons = 40 ⇒ 20 neutrons
charge = protons – electrons = +2 ⇒ 18 electrons
What is the nuclear symbol for an atom with the following subatomic particles: 8 protons, 8 neutrons, 10 electrons?
Z = atomic number = number of protons ⇒ Z = 8
A = mass number = protons + neutrons ⇒ A = 16
Q = charge = protons – electrons ⇒ Q = - 2
