Understand the Problem
The questions are part of a science quiz focused on atomic structure and molecular chemistry, specifically related to neutrons, atomic nucleus, and molecular types.
Answer
1) 12 neutrons, 2) D (Accounts for most volume), 3) A (O2), 4) B (Nucleus), 5) C (H2)
The answers are: 1) 12, 2) D, 3) A, 4) B, 5) C.
Answer for screen readers
The answers are: 1) 12, 2) D, 3) A, 4) B, 5) C.
More Information
The mass number of 24Mg is 24, and the atomic number is 12, so the number of neutrons is 24 - 12 = 12.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing diatomic molecules with simple elements. Remember diatomic molecules contain two atoms.
