atom of the element– B. twice the number of protons in one atom of

the element– C. a ratio based on the mass of a carbon-12

atom– D. a weighted average of the masses of an

element’s isotope.

• Which element is found in most of the compounds in your body except for water?– A. iodine– B. potassium– C. iron– D. carbon

• Mendeleev arranged the known chemical elements in a table according to increasing– A. atomic number– B. number of electrons– C. number of protons– D. mass

• In a periodic table, a set of properties repeats from– A. element to element– B. group to group– C. column to column– D. row to row
