Answer : The correct options are,
An atom of oxygen and the ion of oxygen both have 8 protons.
As you add or remove neutrons from the nucleus, isotopes are formed.
Explanation :
Isotope : Isotope is the chemical element in which the number of protons and electrons are same but differ in the number of neutrons. And the atomic mass also different. The atomic number is always same.
- An atom of oxygen and the ion of oxygen both have 8 protons.
This statement is correct because there is no change in the number of protons only changes in the number of electrons.
- Electrons must be removed from a carbon atom to form an isotope.
This statement is incorrect because when we remove electrons, the atomic number changed. By changing the atomic number, the element will also changed.
- The atomic mass of metals is calculated differently that the atomic mass of nonmetals.
this statement is incorrect because there is no different method used for the calculation of the metal and non-metal.
- As you add or remove neutrons from the nucleus, isotopes are formed.
This statement is correct. Isotope is the chemical element in which the number of protons and electrons are same but differ in the number of neutrons. And the atomic mass also different. The atomic number is always same.
- The most massive subatomic particles are electrons.
This statement is incorrect because electrons are the lighter subatomic particle as compared to the protons and the neutrons.
- The isotope of carbon and the atom of nitrogen both have 7 protons in the nucleus.
This statement is incorrect because in the isotope of carbon, the number of neutrons are different but the number of protons are always be 6. The number of protons in the nitrogen atom is 7.
