REVIEWER 2: COMPUTATION
I. Identification of Atomic Mass, Protons, Electrons, and
Neutrons of an Element

where: A – mass number

Z – atomic number
X – symbol of any element
For neutral atoms: no. of protons (p) = no. of electrons
(e)
*the number of neutrons (n) is calculated using:
n=A–Z
p = Z (protons/electrons)
For ions: no. of protons (p) is NOT EQUAL to the no. of
electrons (e)

IV. Specific Heat

II. Electronic Configuration

V. Overall Efficiency of a Power plant

To compute for the overall efficiency, multiply all the
efficiencies using their decimal
equivalent. Then, multiply by 100 to get the %
equivalent

VI. Mass-Energy Equivalence

E = in Joule/ Nm ; m = kg ; C = 3x108 m/s

VII. Kinetic Energy
VIII. Potential Energy
