Calculate the amu of a given element using the data in the table.
Calculate the atomic mass from the table of values.
Determine which items are compounds and which are elements.
A radioactive sample has a mass of x grams. After being set aside for a certain number of days (also given in a fraction of a year) the sample now contains x grams. Determine the half-life in years.
Otzi was found in a glacier. Carbon dating shows x units present at his time of death and x units remaining today. The half life of carbon-14 is also given. Determine how old Otzi is.
Fill in the table with the following: Name of Element, Elemental Symbol, Atomic Number, Number of Protons, Number of Neutrons, Mass Number, Nuclear Symbol, Name of Isotope.
