Assignment No.3 Atomic Structure)

This document is an assignment on atomic structure. It contains questions about writing equations for ionization processes of rubidium and chlorine. It also asks about comparing the first ionization energies of rubidium and sodium. There are questions calculating relative atomic masses of samples containing rubidium and an unknown element isotopes. The last question asks why isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties.
