It is possible for a particular element to have various numbers of neutrons. True False

Chemistry
1 answer:
umka2103 [35]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

  • <em><u>True</u></em>

Explanation:

Every element is constituted by atoms with the same atomic number, which is the number of protons in their nuclei. So, all the atoms of a same element have the same number of protons.

For instance, the element sodium has atomic number 11, and all its atoms have 11 protons.

The atomic number identifies uniquely every element.

In the atomic nuclei there are protons and neutrons. Neutrons can vary from one atom of a particular element to another atom of the same element. That is what the term isotope accounts for. Isotopes are atoms with the same atomic number and different number of neutrons.

Most elements have different isotopes. The atomic mass of fifferent isotopes of a particular element will differ among them, because the neutrons account for the mass.

An element has two naturally occurring isotopes, X-85 with a mass of 84.9118 amu and a natural abundance of 72.17%, and X-87 wit
QveST [7]

Answer:

This element is Rubidium (Rb) and has an average atomic mass of 85.468 u

Explanation:

The average mass of an element is calculated by taking the average of the atomic masses of its stable isotopes.

The enitre atomic mass = 100 % or 1

⇒ this consists of X-85 with 72.17 % abundance  with atomic massof  84.9118 g/mol

72.17 % = 0.7217

⇒ this consists of X-87 with  27.83 % abundance with atomic mass of 86.9092 g/mol

27.83 % = 0.2783

To calculate the mass of this isotope we use the following:

0.7271 * 84.9118 + 0.2783 * 86.9092 =85.468 g/mol

This element is Rubidium(Rb) and has an average atomic mass of 85.468 u
