The average atomic mass of iron : 55.85 amu

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The elements in nature have several types of isotopes

Isotopes are atoms whose no-atom has the same number of protons while still having a different number of neutrons.

An atomic mass unit = amu is a r<em>elative atomic mass of 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12. </em>

The 'amu' unit has now been replaced with a unit of 'u' only

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes

atomic mass X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.% ...

The average atomic mass of iron

\tt =0.15\times 55+0.85\times 56\\\\=\boxed{\bold{55.85~amu}}

Give the value of the quantum number ℓ, if one exists, for a hydrogen atom whose orbital angular momentum has a magnitude of 6√(
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

For this angular momentum, no quantum number exist

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The magnitude of the angular momentum is  L  = 6\sqrt{\frac{h}{2 \pi} }

The generally formula for Orbital angular momentum is mathematically represented as

           L  = \sqrt{(l * (l + 1)) } *  \frac{h}{2 \pi}

Where l is the quantum number

now  

We can look at the given angular momentum in this form as

      L  = 6\sqrt{\frac{h}{2 \pi} }    =  \sqrt{36}  * \sqrt{\frac{h}{2 \pi}} }

comparing this equation to the generally equation for Orbital angular momentum

     We see that there is no quantum number that would satisfy this equation
