Question

129) Which of the following metals have the highest atomic mass?

A) Copper
B) Gold
C) Iron
D) Platinum

130) What does the atomic number of an element represent in an neutral atom?
A) Number of electrons and protons.
B) Number of electrons and neutrons.
C) Number of protons and neutrons.
D) Does not have a specific representation.

Answer 1

B) Gold

A) Number of electrons and protons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Atomic Masses (from periodic table):

----> Copper (Cu): 63.546 g/mol

----> Gold (Au): 196.97 g/mol

----> Iron (Fe): 55.845 g/mol

----> Platinum (Pt): 195.08 g/mol

The atomic number represents the number of protons. Neutral atoms have the same number of protons as electrons. The mass number represents the number of protons and neutrons.
