What is the average atomic mass (in amu) of element M?

1 answer:

4 0

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.

What are some problems an astronaut might experience while traveling in space?

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

The environment of space is lethal without appropriate protection: the greatest threat in the vacuum of space derives from the lack of oxygen and pressure, although temperature and radiation also pose risks. The effects of space exposure can result in ebullism, hypoxia, hypocapnia, and decompression sickness.

Iron (Fe) has three isotopes. Calculate the average atomic mass of the element Fe using the following data: Isotope atomic mass

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Average atomic mass = 55.83 amu

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of the average atomic mass is:

$Average\ atomic\ mass=(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ first\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ first\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ second\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ second\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ third\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ third\ isotope})$

Given that:

For first isotope, Fe-54:

% = 6 %

Mass = 53.94 amu

For second isotope, Fe-56:

% = 92 %

Mass = 55.93 amu

For third isotope, Fe-57:

% = 2 %

Mass = 56.94 amu

Thus,

$Average\ atomic\ mass=\frac{6}{100}\times {53.94}+\frac{92}{100}\times {55.93}+\frac{2}{100}\times {56.94}$

<u>Average atomic mass = 55.83 amu</u>

why is it much easier for group 14 elements to become stable by sharing instead of transferring electrons9

Effectus [21]

Because they are closer to the farther end of the periodic table. Since they are closer to the farther end they don't want to give away their electrons because it would be easier for them to just steal them from other atoms.
