The uncertainties of the delta measurements and the uncertainty of the atomic weight derivedfrom the best measurement of isotopic abundances constrain the number of significant figures in theatomic-weight values of the upper and lower bounds. For carbon, the fifth digit after the decimal pointis uncertain because of the uncertainty value of 0.000 027. Therefore, the number of significant digitsin the atomic-weight value is reduced to four figures after the decimal point. The Commission may rec-ommend additional conservatism and reduce the number of significant figures further. For the lowerbound of carbon, 12.009 635 is truncated to 12.0096. For an upper bound, the trailing digit is increasedto ensure the atomic-weight interval encompasses the atomic-weight values of all normal materials. Inthe case of carbon, the upper bound is adjusted from 12.011 532 to 12.0116 to express four digits afterthe decimal point. The lower and upper bounds are evaluated so that the number of significant digits ineach is identical. If a value ends with a zero, it may need to be included in the value to express therequired number of digits. The following are examples of lower and upper atomic-weight bounds foroxygen that could be published by the Commission in its various tables.

Answer:
only 2.5 grams will be present after 16 years have passed
Answer:
a element
Explanation:
In science copper is a element. It is one of the transition metals found on the periodic table of elements.
Elements are distinct substances that cannot be split-up into simpler substances. Such substances consist of one kind of atom.
There are over a hundred elements that are known till date.
Each elements combines to form a compound
One candela per steradian is termed a lumen, which is the measure of light intensity people are most familiar with One foot candle is equivalent to one lumen per square foot
Atomic number is same as the number of protons in the element which is further equal to the number of electrons. As the number of electrons increases in the element, the atomic number of the element also increases.
In periodic table, elements are arranged in the groups, and these groups are columns starting from 1 to 18, elements are arranged in increasing order of atomic number. Elements are placed with difference of one atomic number.
First four elements present in the periodic table is:
atomic number is one (1).
atomic number is two (2).
atomic number is three (3).
atomic number is four (4).
Thus, the series of atomic numbers that represents the ordering of consecutive elements within the periodic table is the last option - 1, 2, 3, 4...
