<span>The magnetic field of the Earth serves a useful purpose in deflecting Solar radiation. Without the magnetic field there is much more charged-particle radiation striking the surface. The auroras would occur everywhere instead of at the magnetic poles. Compass needles wouldn't work, and then they would flip direction.. The magnetic field IS DECREASING and could go to zero and reverse sometime in the next few tens-of-thousands of years.</span>
It can be either they can have a negative or positive charge more specifically negatively charged molecule would called an anion and a positive one would be cation.
The average atomic mass of an element can be determined by multiplying the individual masses of the isotopes with their respective relative abundances, and adding them.
Average atomic mass of Br = 158 amu(0.2569) + 160 amu(0.4999) + 162 amu(0.2431)
Average atomic mass = 159.96 amu
As described in the problem, the relative abundance for Br-79 is 25.69%. This is because 2 atoms of Br is equal to 79*2 = 158 amu. Similarly, the relative abundance of Br-81 is 81*2 = 162, which is 24.31%.
Answer:
- <u>Tellurium (Te) and iodine (I) are two elements </u><em><u>next to each other that have decreasing atomic masses.</u></em>
Explanation:
The <em>atomic mass</em> of tellurium (Te) is 127.60 g/mol and the atomic mass of iodine (I) is 126.904 g/mol; so, in spite of iodine being to the right of tellurium in the periodic table (because the atomic number of iodine is bigger than the atomic number of tellurium), the atomic mass of iodine is less than the atomic mass of tellurium.
The elements are arranged in increasing order of atomic number in the periodic table.
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons and the mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons.
The mass number, except for the mass defect, represents the atomic mass of a particular isotope. But the atomic mass of an element is the weighted average of the atomic masses of the different natural isotopes of the element.
Normally, as the atomic number increases, you find that the atomic mass increases, so most of the elements in the periodic table, which as said are arranged in icreasing atomic number order, match with increasing atomic masses. But the relative isotope abundaces of the elements can change that.
It is the case that the most common isotopes of tellurium have atomic masses 128 amu and 130 amu, whilst most common isotopes of iodine have an atomic mass 127 amu. As result, tellurium has an average atomic mass of 127.60 g/mol whilst iodine has an average atomic mass of 126.904 g/mol.
I’m not sure what the 6 means, but for the first one, the process being shown is photosynthesis that occurs in a plant. The first two compounds are the reactants. The CO2 is carbon dioxide, and the H2O is water. When these two reactants are put together with some sunlight, they create the products. The C6H12O6 is glucose, and the O2 is oxygen.
