An atomic mass unit (symbolized AMU or amu) is defined as precisely 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12. The carbon-12 (C-12) atom has six protons and six neutrons in its nucleus. In imprecise terms, one AMU is the average of the proton rest mass and the neutron rest mass.
If a hypothesis is stated and outcome of the experiment is what was predicted, then it supports the hypothesis. if the experiment does not support the hypothesis, then the outcome was not what was predicted.
The low-mass elements, hydrogen and helium, were produced in the hot, dense conditions of the birth of the universe itself. The birth, life, and death of a star is described in terms of nuclear reactions. The chemical elements that make up the matter we observe throughout the universe were created in these reactions.
Iodine electron configuration is:
1S^2 2S^2 2P^6 3S^2 3P^6 4S^2 3d^10 4P^6 5S^2 4d^10 5P^5
when Krypton is the noble gas in the row above iodine in the periodic table,
we can change 1S^2 2S^2 2P^6 3S^2 3P^6 4S^2 3d^10 4P^6 by the symbol
[Kr] of Krypton.
So we can write the electron configuration of Iodine:
[Kr] 5S^2 4d^10 5P^5
