of the following particles. Suggestion: Begin by looking up the mass of a neutral atom on the periodic table of the elements in Appendix C.
(a) an ionized hydrogen atom, represented as H+
(b) a singly ionized sodium atom, Na1

(c) a chloride ion Cl-
(d) a doubly ionized calcium atom, Ca++ = Ca2+
(e) the center of an ammonia molecule, modeled as an NH3+ ion
(f) quadruply ionized nitrogen atoms, N4+, found in plasma in a hot star
(g) the nucleus of a nitrogen atom
