An element consists of a mixture of three isotopes $A$, $B$, and $C$ of masses $m_1$, $m_2$, and $m_3$ respectively. If the relative abundances of the three isotopes $A$, $B$, and $C$ are in the ratio $2:3:5$, the average mass of the element is:

  • A
    $0.2 m_1 + 0.3 m_2 + 0.5 m_3$
  • B
    $2 m_1 + 3 m_2 + 5 m_3$
  • C
    $0.4 m_1 + 0.6 m_2 + m_3$
  • D
    $4 m_1 + 6 m_2 + 10 m_3$

If the mass number of an atom is $A = 40$ and its electron configuration is $1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6, 3s^2, 3p^6$,the number of neutrons and protons in its nucleus will be

It is now believed that protons and neutrons (which constitute nuclei of ordinary matter) are themselves built out of more elementary units called quarks. $A$ proton and a neutron consist of three quarks each. Two types of quarks,the so-called 'up' quark (denoted by $u$) of charge $+(2/3)e$,and the 'down' quark (denoted by $d$) of charge $-(1/3)e$ together with electrons build up ordinary matter. Suggest a possible quark composition of a proton and neutron.
