2.         Answer the following “who am I?” questions with one of the following terms:

proton, neutron, electron, or ion.

a.                I am a positively charged particle found within the nucleus______proton_______

b.               I am the least heavy of the subatomic particles________electron______

c.                If magnesium loses electrons, I turn into one of these____ion_____

d.               Compared to carbon 13, carbon 14 has one more of these ____neutron______

e.                If an atom loses one of these it becomes positively charged_____electron______

3.         If it was possible to add 2 protons to a neutral neon atom (mass number : 20), what would you end up with? Show the full isotope notation of the newly created atom and all work needed to arrive at your answer.

original

new

Ne 10 protons

10 neutrons (=20 -10)

10 electrons( = protons since it was neutral)

22Mg+2 ( charge = p-e)

10+2 =12 protons

10 neutrons

10 electrons

4.         Show through example how the chemical properties of an ion differ from those of its neutral counterpart.

H+ found in acid will react with skin

H2 will not react with skin
