An atom has the following three isotopes: 24 amu (percent abundance = 78.99%)25 amu (percent abundance =10.00\%) , and 26 amu (p

ercent bundance=11.01\%) . Calculate the average atomic mass. What is the identity of this atom based on your calculation?

We multiply each mass with its percentage.
24*(78.99/100) = 18.96
25*(10/100)= 2.5
26*(11.01/100)= 2.86
Then add these together.
18.96+2.5+2.86= 24.32amu
An element that has an average mass of nearly 24.32amu would be Mg (magnesium)

The average atomic mass is 24.31. The element is likely Magnesium.

Work:
24(0.7899) = 18.95
25(0.1000) = 2.5
26(0.1101) = 2.86
18.95 + 2.5 + 2.86 = 24.31

exis [7]

Answer:

The flame will burn out

Explanation:

The oxygen will be kept out of the jar, without oxygen the flame cannot last long. The flame will eventually burn out. Nitrogen gas has no role to play in the burning. Nitrogen slows down the burning rate.

Under what circumstances might be important to know the activity tendencies of elements?
ad-work [718]

Answer: It is very important to know the activity tendencies of the elements. The activity tendencies tells us about whether the element is reactive or not.

In the redox-reaction where there is a need to know the oxidizing agent and reducing agent, we can know it easily from the activity tendencies. The elements lying above the reactivity series are better reducing agents.

In the substitution reactions, the activity tendencies helps us to know which element will replace the other. The element lying above in the series will replace the element lying below it.

MX+NY \rightarrow MY+NX

where, N is an element that lies above in the reactivity series

M is an element that lies below in the reactivity series

Describe at least three ways our understanding of the atom has changed. See the hint in the reference image.
abruzzese [7]
The first model of the atom was developed by JJ Thomson in 1904, who thought that atoms were composed purely of negatively charged electrons.

This theory was then disproved by Ernest Rutherford and the gold foil experiment in 1911, where Rutherford shot alpha particles at gold foil, and noticed that some went through and some bounced back, implying the existence of a positive nucleus.

In 1926, the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger created a quantum mechanical model of the atom by combining the equations for the behavior of waves with the de Broglie equation to generate a mathematical model for the distribution of electrons in an atom.
