The average atomic mass of oxygen is 15.9994 amu. The atomic masses of its three isotopes are as follows: O-16: 15.995 amu; O-17

: 16.999 amu; O-18: 17.999 amu Which isotope is most likely to have the greatest abundance in nature? O–16 O–17 O–18 all three isotopes may be equally abundant

The average atomic mass of oxygen is the atomic mass with respect to 1/12th the mass of a C-12 atom, related to natural abundance. 
amu - atomic mass units 
O-16 - 15.995 amu
O-17 - 16.999 amu
O-18 - 17.999 amu
the average atomic mass is 15.9994 amu
average atomic mass = ∑atomic mass of each isotope * relative abundance percentage
in other words the average atomic mass is closer to the atomic mass of the most abundant isotope. In this case 15.9994 is closest to 15.995 amu which is the atomic mass of O-16.
This means that O-16 is the most abundant isotope.

Which is the most reactive metal
Lena [83]

The most reactive metal on the periodic table is Francium, However, Francium is an artificial element and only minimal quantities have been produced, so for all practical purposes, the most reactive metal available is Cesium, in the alkali metal family.


ANSWER In theory, Francium, in practice the Cesium

Please help me out i don’t get this. what is the answers to 1-4.
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

1. A circuit is a path that electricity flows along. It starts at a power source, like a battery, and flows through a wire to a light bulb or other object and back to other side of the power source.

2. A series circuit is one that has more than one resistor, but only one path through which the electricity (electrons) flows. All the components in a series circuit are connected end-to-end. A resistor in a circuit is anything that uses some of the power from the cell.

3. A parallel circuit is a circuit in which the electric current passes through two or more branches or connected parts at the same time before it combines again. Compare.

4. BOTH - 1. lightbulb 2. battery 3. switch

   SERIES- 1. Ammeter 2. voltmeter

i'm not sure about the rest sorry :(

In the compound nh3, nitrogen has an oxidation number of 3+ and hydrogen has an oxidation number of ______________.
Digiron [165]
In the compound nh3, nitrogen has an oxidation number of 3+ and hydrogen has an oxidation number of -1
The molecule NH3 have a neutral charge so the number of oxidation number of it's component must be equal to zero. The molecule NH composed of 1 nitrogen and 3 hydrogens. If the nitrogen oxidation number is 3+, then hydrogen would be:

1* N + 3*H=0
1*+3  +3*H=0
3H= -3
H= -1
