Answer:24.31

Explanation:Contribution made by isotope of mass 23.99= 23.99×78.99=1894.97

Contribution made by isotope of mass 24.99=24.99×10.00=249.9

Contribution made by isotope of mass 25.98=25.98×11.01=286.04

Total contribution=1894.97+249.9+286.04=2430.91

Average mass=2430.91÷100

=24.31

Orbitals are defined by which term?
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An orbital is defined as the energy shell which can contain a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins.

A wave like behavior of an electron is determined by an orbital and basically an orbital acts like a mathematical function.

For example, in a p-sub shell the orbitals present are p_{x}, p_{y} and p_{z}.

Therefore, we can conclude that orbitals are defined by energy level.

Unstable isotopes occur when the strong force is unable to overcome the _________.
Alecsey [184]
Unstable isotopes occur when the strong force is unable to overcome the <span> <span>electrostatic force.</span></span><span>
There are no stable isotopes in the elements  at the upper end of the periodic table, which clearly demonstrates the limit of the ability of the nuclear binding energy or the residual strong force,  to overcome the electrostatic repulsion of all those protons in the nucleus.

Does the number of electrons reaching the detector increase or decrease as you change the frequency?
velikii [3]
If you increase the frequency, the photon will have more energy and can therefore transfer more electrons to the other side. As such, you will have an increased current.
