  8. 7. The atomic number of an atom is: • (a) the number of electrons
(b) the number of neutrons
(c) the number of protons
(d) the number of protons plus the number of neutrons • Answer: c

  9. 8. Changing the number of neutrons of an atom changes its: • (a) isotope
(b) element
(c) ion
(d) charge • Answer: a

  10. 9. When you change the number of electrons on an atom, you produce a different: • (a) isotope
(b) ion
(c) element
(d) atomic mass • Answer: b

  11. 10. According to atomic theory, electrons are usually found: • (a) in the atomic nucleus
(b) outside the nucleus, yet very near it because they are attracted to the protons
(c) outside the nucleus and often far from it - most of an atom's volume is its electron cloud
