<span>Rubidium and cesium have similar chemical properties because in the ground state the atoms of both elements each have one electron in the outermost shell. The correct option is A. The two elements belong to group one of the periodic table; all elements in this group have only one electron in their outmost shell which they easily give away to other elements during chemical reactions in order to attain octet structure.</span>
Answer:
Gamma Rays
Gamma Rays-have the smallest wavelengths and the most energy of any other wave in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Explanation:
Answer:
You determine the weighted averages if the individual isotopic masses.
Procedure:
The atomic mass of Si is the <em>weighted average </em>of the atomic masses of its isotopes.
We multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its relative importance (i.e., its percent abundance).
The three stable isotopes of Si are Si-28 (27.98 u, 92.22 %), Si-29 (28.98 u, 4.69 %), and Si-30 (29.97 u, 3.09 %).
Set up a table for easy calculation.
0.9222 × 27.89 u = <em>x</em> u
0.0469 × 28.98 u = <em>y</em> u
0.0309 × 29.97 u = <em>z</em> u
TOTAL = (<em>x</em>+<em>y</em>+<em>z</em>) u = atomic mass of Si.
