Answer all the questions in the spaces provided. (a) Explain what is meant by the term nucleon number. PMT[1] (b) Bromine exists naturally as a mixture of two stable isotopes, 79Br and 81Br, with relative isotopic masses of 78.92 and 80.92 respectively. (i) De ne the term relative isotopic mass.[2] (ii) Using the relative atomic mass of bromine, 79.90, calculate the relative isotopic abundances of 79Br and 81Br. (c) Bromine reacts with the element A to form a compound with empirical formula ABr3. The percentage composition by mass of ABr3 is A, 4.31; Br, 95.69. Calculate the relative atomic mass, Ar, of A.
