c. Naturally occurring silver is a mixture of two isotopes, 47Ag and 47Ag. However,
its relative atomic mass is 108. In contrast, although naturally occurring carbon is
a mixture of two isotopes, 6C and 6C, its relative atomic mass is 12. Explain how
this is possible.

The following statements were taken from one of the students notebooks. These
statements are INCORRECT. You should state why the statement is incorrect and give the
correct statement where required.
(i) INCORRECT STATEMENT:
The atomic number of metal A is 1 since it has one electron in its outer shell.

2. Solid, gaseous and liquid substances combine in various ways to form mixtures. The
properties of mixtures depend on those of the substances that make them up. These
properties also serve as a means by which mixtures may be classified and a basis on
which they may be separated.
