Essay Question

The document is about the structure of atoms and their electronic configuration. It contains questions related to diagrams of atomic structure, isotopes of carbon, and experimental setups and graphs related to determining melting points and cooling curves. Specifically, it asks the student to: 1) Describe an atom shown in a diagram and compare it to another atom of the same element with 2 neutrons. 2) Draw and describe the atomic structure of carbon-14 and give an example of another carbon isotope. 3) Determine which substance from a table of melting/boiling points would be suitable to use in a melting point apparatus diagram. Explain using the properties given. 4) Explain why a substance is
