81.

An atom 23892X decays by alpha particle emission to give an atom Y. The atomic number and mass number of Y are

A.

90 and 234 respectively

B.

91 and 238 respectively

C.

92 and 236 respectively

D.

93 and 238 respectively

Correct answer is A

23892 X 234 90Y + 4 2 He Atomic number is 90 while mass number is 234

82.

An element X has isotopic masses of 6 and 7. if the relative abundance is 1 to 12.5 respectively, what is the relative atomic mass of X?

A.

6.0

B.

6.1

C.

6.9

D.

7.0

Correct answer is C

Contribution by isotope 6 = 6 x 1 = 6
contribution by isotope 7 = 7 x 12.5 = 87.5
This contribution is made by 1 + 12.5 = 13.5 atoms
Relative atomic mass of = 87.5 + 6 = 93.5/13.5 = 6.9
