An isoelectronic series is where all of the ions listed have the same number of electrons in their atoms. When an atom has net charge of zero or neutral, it has equal number of protons and electrons. Hence, it means that the atomic number = no. of protons = no. of electrons. If these atoms become ions, they gain a net charge of + or -. Positive ions are cations. This means that they readily GIVE UP electrons, whereas negative ions (anions) readily ACCEPT electrons. So, to know which of these are isoelectronic, let's establish first the number of electron in a neutral atom from the periodic table:

Na=11; K=19; Rb=37; Cs = 55; Ca=20; S=16; Mg=12; Li=3; Be=4; B=5; C=6, Ar = 18

A. Na⁺: 11-1 = 10 electrons
     K⁺: 19 - 1 = 18 electrons
     Rb⁺: 37-1 = 36 electrons

B. K⁺: 19 - 1 = 18 electrons
    Ca²⁺: 20 - 2 = 18 electrons
    Ar:  18 electrons
    S²⁻:  16 +2 = 18 electrons

C. Na⁺: 11-1 = 10 electrons
    Mg²⁺: 12 - 2 = 10 electrons
     S²⁻:  16 +2 = 18 electrons

D. Li=3 electrons
    Be=4 electrons
    B=5 electrons
    C=6 electrons

The answer is letter B.

Three isotopes of argon occur in nature – 36 18Ar, 38 18Ar, 40 18Ar. Calculate the average atomic mass of argon to two decimal p
likoan [24]

Answer: 3) 39.96 amu

Explanation:

Mass of isotope Ar- 36 = 35.97 amu

% abundance of isotope Ar- 36= 0.337% = \frac{0.337}{100}=3.37\times 10^{-3}

Mass of isotope Ar- 38 = 37.96 amu

% abundance of isotope 2 = 0.063 % = \frac{0.063}{100}=6.3\times 10^{-4}

Mass of isotope Ar- 40 = 39.96 amu

% abundance of isotope 2 = 99.600 % = \frac{99.600}{100}=0.996

Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :

\text{ Average atomic mass of an element}=\sum(\text{atomic mass of an isotopes}\times {{\text { fractional abundance}})

A=\sum[(35.97\times 3.37\times 10^{-3})+(37.96\times 6.3\times 10^{-4})+(39.96\times 0.996)]

A=39.96amu

Therefore, the average atomic mass of argon is 39.96 amu

How does a solid move?how do we describe its energy and movement?
masya89 [10]
All matter is made of tiny particles called atoms, molecules and ions; the tiny particles in solids are tightly packed and can only vibrate. The particles in liquids also vibrate but are able to move around by rolling over each other and sliding around. In gases, the particles move freely with rapid, random motion.
