1 Atomic Structure
Question Acceptable Answer Mark Additional Guidance
1 a) Isotopes are atoms with the same number of 1 Allow: same atomic number
protons, but different numbers of neutrons. but different mass number
b) Similar chemical properties because they have 1
the same electronic structure.
Varying physical properties because they have 1
different masses.
2 a) 1 Allow fractions like 0.51x90
( 51× 90 ) + ( 11 ×91 ) + ( 18 × 92 )+ (18 × 94 ) +(2× 96) etc
100 Allow ±1 in values of
= 91.31 percentage
1 Allow ECF
b)
1 mark for correct m/z ratio of
2 each peak
