.1 In 1897 JJ Thomson discovered the electron. He suggested that atoms were
positively charged spheres with electrons embedded within them.
Figure 1 represents an atom using Thomson‟s model.

0 1 .4 In the TOF mass spectrometer an ion of an isotope of tellurium, with mass number y,
travels along a 1.25 m flight tube with a kinetic energy of 1.88 x 10–12 J
The ion takes 3.00 x 10–7 s to reach the detector.
KE = 1 mv2

KE = kinetic energy / J
m = mass / kg
v = speed / m s–1
Calculate the mass, in g, of 1 mole of these tellurium ions.
Use your answer to suggest the mass number y of the tellurium isotope.
The Avogadro constant, L = 6.022 × 1023 mol–1
