How do atoms show both unity and diversity

Answer: As one atomic dipole nears another atom it will affect the electron density distribution, so for example if the slightly positive end of the atom is located next to another atom, it will attract the electron(s) in the other atom. A covalent bond happens when atoms share an electron between them. The other kind of bond is called ionic, and it happens when one atom gives an electron to another atom. These bonds are held together with electric forces. Two atoms of the same element can be different if their electrons are in different states. If one copper atom has an electron in an excited state and another copper atom has all of its electrons in the ground state, then the two atoms are different.

What is the principal reason we must consider the uncertainty principle when discussing electrons and other subatomic particles

Pie

Here is the correct answer of the given question above. The principal reason that we must consider the uncertainty principle when discussing electrons and other subatomic particles, but not when discussing our macroscopic world is that photons of only certain allowed frequencies can be absorbed or emitted as the electron changes energy state. Hope this answer helps.

On a mission to a newly discovered planet, an astronaut finds chlorine abundances of 13.85 % for 35Cl and 86.15 % for 37Cl. What

topjm [15]

Answer : The atomic mass of chlorine is, 36.723 amu

Explanation :

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$
