    (c) grinding wheat into flour
    (d) tooth decay

    2. Fill in the gaps in the following table

    Mass no. 81
    Net charge 0 0 +2 -1

    3. An element discovered on a distant planet called Karrium has three naturally


    occurring isotopes, Karrium-354 (atomic mass = 354.1412 a.m.u., abundance =
    10.8503%), Karrium-356 (atomic mass = 356.0349, abundance = 85.7496%),
    Karrium-359 (atomic mass = 358.8349, abundance = 3.4001%). Calculate the
    average atomic mass of Karrium with the correct number of significant numbers.

    4. (a) Using Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, calculate the uncertainty in the


    position of my 100-kg grandma moving at a speed of 0.20 m/s. The mass
    measurement is assumed to be exact, but the speed is known only to within 
    0.02 m/s.
    (b) Comparing with the width of her 3-cm eyelid, is this uncertainty in position
    large or small?

    5. (a) Calculate the uncertainty in the position of an electron moving at a speed of


    1×106 m/s. If the uncertainty in speed is 1%, what is the uncertainty in position?
    The mass of an electron is 9.11×10-28 g
    (b) By comparing the uncertainty in position with the radius of an electron 3×10-
    15
    m, can you pinpoint the location of the electron?

    6. (a)What are the names of the ions and the charges in Fe(OH)2?

    and dichromate ion?

    negative ion is called the atom’s electron affinity. Which would you expect to have
    the more positive electron affinity, Na or F? Explain.
