Question

12) A neutral atom has two, eight, eight electrons in its first, second, and third energy levels.This information ________.

A) does not tell us about the atomic number of the element
B) does not tell us about the chemical properties of the element
C) does not tell us about the atomic mass of the element
D) does not tell us about the size of the element Answer: Bloom's Taxonomy: Application/Analysis Section: 2.2

Answer 1

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option C

The information given in the question tells us about the number of electrons in an atom and also the number of shells in the atom. So, we will come to know about the atomic number, size and chemical properties of the atom. But we cannot determine atomic mass. Atomic mass is a function of number of neutrons and protons.
