The weighted average atomic mass (m) of the newly discovered element X is the sum of the products of its isotopes percentage and mass.

                    m = (0.935) x (268.9 u) + (0.065) x (269.9 u) = 268.965 u

Thus, the weight of the atom is approximately 269.0 u.

To calculate the average mass of the element, we take the summation of the product of the isotope and the percent abundance. In this case, it is 0.935 * 268.9 amu + 0.065* 269.9 amu. This is equal to an average mass of 268.965 amu.

How does the number of valence electrons determine the type and number of bonds an element forms?​
Advocard [28]
The number of electrons in an atom's outermost valence shell governs its bonding behaviour. Elements whose atoms have the same number of valence electrons are grouped together in the Periodic Table. ... Nonmetals tend to attract additional valence electrons to form either ionic or covalent bonds.

tamaranim1 [39]

Th correct answer is option C. Calling can be hazardous because it also attracts parasites and predators.

The mating call is used by the males to attract females for sexual reproduction. By using vocal sounds males are not only making themselves attractive to females, they are also making themselves vulnerable to predators.

Thus the mating call can have a disastrous effect on the survival of the species.

Answer:

the mass number

Explanation:

Isotopes are numerous forms of one single element. In simple terms, atomic weights are different for the isotopes. Isotopes refer to the atoms that have the same number of protons but different neutron numbers. The physical properties of the isotopes vary because these properties also based on mass. These variations can be used to distinguish isotopes of an element from each other by applying methods such as fractional distillation and diffusion.

How does the muscular system work with the respiratory system?
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The muscular and nervous systems enable the involuntary breathing mechanism. The main muscles in inhalation and exhalation are the diaphragm and the intercostals (shown in blue), as well as other muscles. Exhalation is a passive action, as the lungs recoil and shrink when the muscles relax.
