    protons, neutrons, and electrons does it have? (Numerical)
    2.​ What happens to an atom if it loses one electron? What is this type of atom
    called? (Reasoning)
    3.​ Compare the size and mass of a proton and an electron. Which is more massive,
    and by how much? (Conceptual)
    4.​ Numerical:​
    A neutral atom has 20 protons and 18 neutrons. Calculate its atomic mass and
    write its symbol, assuming no isotopes are involved. (Calculation)

    2.​ Numerical:​
    Two isotopes of magnesium are Magnesium-24 and Magnesium-26. If 75% of
    magnesium atoms are Magnesium-24 and 25% are Magnesium-26, calculate the
    average atomic mass of magnesium. (Calculation)
    3.​ Explain why isotopes of the same element have identical chemical properties but
    different physical properties. (Reasoning)
    4.​ If the electron cloud occupies most of the volume of an atom, why does almost all
    the mass come from the nucleus? (Conceptual reasoning)
