Atomic Terminology Practice.a. The most common form of iron has 26 protons and 30 neutronsin its nucleus. State its atomic number, atomic massnumber, and number of electrons if it is electrically neutral.b. Consider the following three atoms: Atom 1 has seven protonsand eight neutrons; atom 2 has eight protons and sevenneutrons; atom 3 has eight protons and eight neutrons.Which two are isotopes of the same element?c. Consider fluorine atoms with nine protons and ten neutrons.What are the atomic number and atomic mass number of thisfluorine? Suppose we could add a proton to this fluorine nucleus.Would the result still be fluorine? Explain. What if weadded a neutron to the fluorine nucleus?d. The most common isotope of uranium is 238U, but the formused in nuclear bombs and nuclear power plants is 235U.Given that uranium has atomic number 92, how many neutronsare in each of these two isotopes of uranium?
