The atomic weight of iodine is less than the atomic weight of tellurium. However, Mendeleev listed iodine after tellurium in his

original periodic table because he suspected the atomic weights for these elements were inaccurate. What was Mendeleev's reason for this suspicion?

QveST [7]3 years ago

Explanation :

As we know that Mendeleev arranged the elements in horizontal rows and vertical columns of a table in order of their increasing relative atomic weights.

He placed the elements with similar nature in the same group.

According to the question, the atomic weight of iodine is less than the atomic weight of tellurium. So according to this, iodine should be placed before tellurium in Mendeleev's tables. But Mendeleev placed iodine after tellurium in his original periodic table.

However, iodine has similar chemical properties to chlorine and bromine. So, in order to make iodine queue up with chlorine and bromine in his periodic table, Mendeleev exchanged the positions of iodine and tellurium.

As we know that the positions of iodine and tellurium were reversed in Mendeleev's table because iodine has one naturally occurring isotope that is iodine-127  and tellurium isotopes are tellurium-128 and tellurium-130.

Due to high relative abundance of tellurium isotopes gives tellurium the greater relative atomic mass.

Describe examples of failed experiments that produced valuable information
Nataliya [291]
Hello Norgepr, examples of failed experiments that produced valuable information can be the mage via BoingBoing There have been ample stories of human children being raised by other species and eventually becoming more like that animal than an actual human. If the process could go one way, Winthrop Kellogg was sure that it could also go the other, particularly if the animal involved was one of our closest genetic cousins. In 1931, Kellogg received a grant for his experiment and the timing couldn’t be better –his wife just had a baby boy, David. This would give them the unique opportunity to raise a baby chimp, named Gua, right along side a human baby. It didn’t take long for the babes to bond and become best friends. Kellogg and his wife took impeccable notes on their two “children” noting their physical changes, emotions and how they scored on small intelligence tests. The chimp scored notably higher on the intelligence tests due the fact that the species matures faster than human babies. Gua picked up quite a few human behaviors, such as walking upright and eating with a spoon, but she failed to learn how to speak and learn simple repetition games, like patty cake. Her emotions were also much less predictable and inclined to change at the drop of a hat. Unfortunately, the experiment really started to go wrong when little David started to become more chimplike than Gua became humanlike. He only learned a few simple words and often took to making chimp howls when he wanted something. After only nine months, the Kelloggs gave up on Gua, concerned that David would fail to grow up like a normal human child. In the years since this project, plenty of people have adopted chimps as babies, proving beyond a doubt that the animals can never act completely human –even if they are adorable in overalls.

which molecules show an appropriate number of bonds around each carbon atom? select the three that apply.
iren2701 [21]

The appropriate number of bonds around each carbon atom are four covalent bonds

Please note that carbon has four valence electrons in its outermost shell

<h3>What is an element?</h3>

An element is a substance which cannot be split into simpler forms by an ordinary chemical process. This simply goes to say that elements are substances which cannot be decomposed into simpler substances by ordinary chemical reactions.

An atom is the smallest unit or part of an element which can take part in a chemical reaction.

On a general note, elements are classified as thus:

  • Metals, non-metal, and metalloid.

  • The extreme left side elements in the periodic table are metals, for example, aluminum, sodium, calcium, caesium, etc.

  • However, elements on the right side are generally referred to as non-metals, carbon, chlorine, oxygen,

So therefore, the appropriate number of bonds around each carbon atom are four covalent bonds

Complete question:

What is the appropriate number of bonds around each carbon atom?

Chromium metal can be produced by the following reaction:
Mrac [35]

Answer:

17.3 g Cr

Explanation:

To find the mass of chromium, you need to (1) convert moles Si to moles Cr (using the mole-to-mole ratio from equation coefficients) and then (2) convert moles Cr to grams Cr (using the atomic mass). It is important to arrange the conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 sig figs to match the sig figs of the given value (0.250).

3 Si + 2 Cr₂O₃ ---> 4 Cr + 3 SiO₂
^                              ^

Atomic Mass (Cr): 51.996 g/mol

0.250 moles Si           4 moles Cr            51.996 g
-------------------------  x  --------------------  x  -------------------  =  17.3 g Cr
                                     3 moles Si              1 mole

What experimental evidence led Rutherford to conclude the following: (a) The nucleus of the atom contains most of the atomic mas
____ [38]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The experiment of Ernest Rutherford involved the bombardment of a thin gold foil with alpha particles from a radioactive source. A zinc sulphide screen was used to follow the movement of the alpha particles.

It was discovered that most of the alpha particles  followed a  straight path through the gold foil. Some of them were scattered through large angles and few were even scattered in the backward direction.

Since alpha particles were heavier than electrons, they must have been deflected by very strong forces.

These experimental evidences led to the conclusions stated in the question.
