This is because the relative atomic mass is the sum of the no of protons and neutrons while the atomic no is of the former only. it is not a whole number it is th average weighted masses of the various isotopes of the element multiplied by their corresponding relative abundance. pls thank me and mark me briniest

Sulfur has an atomic number of 16 what is the ground-state electron configuration of sulfur​
guapka [62]

Answer:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4

Explanation:

For ground state atoms you need to fill the orbitals in order.

Orbital s has max 2 electrons

Orbital p has max 6 electrons

Level 1 only has s orbital

Level 2 has s and p orbitals

Level 3 has s, p and d orbitals

You fill them in order until you reach 16 electrons:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4

Find the number of moles of butane (c4h10) in 21g sample of butane gas​
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

0.362 moles

Explanation:

Mass of butane = 21g

Molar mass of carbon = 12g / mol

Molar mass of hydrogen = 1g/mol

Molar mass of butane ? = [(12*4) * (1*10)]

Molar mass of butane = 58g / mole

Number of moles = mass of molecules / molar mass of molecule

Number of moles = 21 / 58

Number of moles of butane = 0.362 moles

The number of moles in 21g of butane is 0.362 moles
