Answer:
I think Sammy is right because I'm sure the compound contains ionic bonds
<h3>
Answer: Si (choice D)</h3>
This is the element Silicon.
=========================================================
Explanation:
First convert each percentage to its decimal form.
For example, 92.2297% converts to 0.922297 after moving the decimal point two spots to the left.
After doing that, multiply those decimal values with their respective atomic mass unit (amu) values.
- 27.9769 * 0.922297 = 25.8030109393
- 28.9765 * 0.046832 = 1.357027448
- 29.9738 * 0.030872 = 0.9253511536
Then we add up the results
25.8030109393 + 1.357027448 + 0.9253511536 = 28.0853895409
That rounds to about 28.085
Then look at the periodic table to see the atomic mass of Cobalt (Co), Aluminum (Al), Nickel (Ni) and Silicon (Si). The mass values listed in the periodic table are weighted averages of all the isotopes. The units for the mass are still in amu.
- Cobalt = 58.933
- Aluminum = 26.982
- Nickel = 58.693
- Silicon = 28.085
We have a match with silicon, showing that <u>choice D</u> is the final answer.
The answer to this would be false.
