Answer:

The element is strontium and the number of neutrons it have is 51.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the ionic compound is,  

XCl₂ ⇔ X₂⁺ + 2Cl⁻

X2+ is the ion of the mentioned element

As mentioned in the given question, the number of electrons of the element X is 36 and as seen from the reaction the charge present on the ion is +2. Now the atomic number will be,  

No. of electrons = atomic number - charge

36 = atomic number - 2

Atomic number = 38

Based on the periodic table, the atomic number 38 is for strontium element, and the sign of strontium is Sr. Hence, the element X is Sr.  

Now based on the given information, the mass number of the element is 89. Now the no. of neutrons will be,  

No. of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

= 89 - 38

= 51 neutrons.

Consider an element Z that has two naturally occuring isotopes with the following percent abundances: the isotope with a mass nu
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Z=22.70

Explanation:

It is given that,

An element Z that has two naturally occurring isotopes with the following percent abundances as follows :

The isotope with a mass number 22 is 65.0% abundant; the isotope with a mass number 24 is 35.0% abundant.

The average atomic mass for element Z is given by :

Z=\dfrac{22\times 65+24\times 35}{100}\\\\Z=22.7

So, the average atomic mass for element Z is 22.70.
