<span>I bet this is the notation used in nuclear reactions. The superscript represents the mass number while the subscript represents the atomic number of the element X. So, we find the element with an atomic number of 12. That would be Magnesium or Mg.</span>

<em>Element X is an element of Mg which is located in group 2A and period 3</em>

<em>with 12 = atomic number and 25 = mass number</em>

\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Further~explanation}}}

The Atomic Number (Z) indicates the number of protons in an atom of an element. If the atom is neutral then the number of protons will be equal to the number of electrons. So the atomic number can also indicate the number of electrons.

So atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass Number (A) is the sum of protons and neutrons

Mass Number (A) = Number of protons + Number of Neutrons

So that the relationship between atomic numbers and mass numbers can be formulated as follows:

Atomic Number (Z) = Mass Number (A) - Number of Neutrons

In the following element notation,

\large{{{A}\atop{Z}}\right X}

Information

X = symbol of elemental atom

A = mass number

  = number of protons + number of neutrons

Z = atomic number

  = number of protons = number of electrons, on neutral elements

In an atom, there are levels of energy in the skin and sub skin.

This energy level is expressed in the form of electron configurations.

Charging electrons in the sub skin uses the following sequence:

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 5s², 4d¹⁰, 5p⁶, 6s², etc.

The location of the element group in the periodic system is determined by the number of valence electrons that fill the last sub-skin

The element period is determined from the valence shell (the largest main quantum number (n))

The chemical element group is divided into two, namely:

Group A, occupies sub skins s and p

Group B, occupies sub skin d

In the most probable question, the notation is meant

\large{{{25}\atop{12}}\right X}

So that shows:

12 = atomic number

25 = mass number

To determine the X element, we must know where the element is in the modern periodic system

Determining the location of the group and its period is sought by writing down the electron configuration

Because atomic number = 12, the number of electrons is also = 12, so the electron configuration is:

1s² 2s² sp⁶ 3s²

The last valence electron is in the 3s² orbitals so that:

Period: main quantum number (n) = 3

Group: because it ends at s orbitals with 2 electrons, the group is 2A (electrons occupying s and p orbitals are group A)

So element X is located in period 3 and group 3A. Elements that fulfill these 2 conditions are: Mg

Consider the reaction. 2 Pb ( s ) + O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 2 PbO ( s ) An excess of oxygen reacts with 451.4 g of lead, forming 367.5 g of
Art [367]

Answer : The percent yield of the reaction is, 75.6 %

Solution : Given,

Mass of Pb = 451.4 g

Molar mass of Pb = 207 g/mole

Molar mass of PbO = 223 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of Pb.

\text{ Moles of }Pb=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Pb}{\text{ Molar mass of }Pb}=\frac{451.4g}{207g/mole}=2.18moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of PbO

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2Pb(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2PbO(s)

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of Pb react to give 2 mole of PbO

So, 2.18 mole of Pb react to give 2.18 mole of PbO

Now we have to calculate the mass of PbO

\text{ Mass of }PbO=\text{ Moles of }PbO\times \text{ Molar mass of }PbO

\text{ Mass of }PbO=(2.18moles)\times (223g/mole)=486.1g

Theoretical yield of PbO = 486.1 g

Experimental yield of PbO = 367.5 g

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of the reaction.

\% \text{ yield of the reaction}=\frac{\text{ Experimental yield of }PbO}{\text{ Theoretical yield of }PbO}\times 100

\% \text{ yield of the reaction}=\frac{367.5g}{486.1g}\times 100=75.6\%

Therefore, the percent yield of the reaction is, 75.6 %

Atoms of elements at the top of a group on the periodic table are smaller than the atoms of elements at the bottom of the group.
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also  decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus.  

On left side of periodic table atoms of metals are more reactive by loosing the electrons or we can say metals are more reactive by loosing the electrons so their reactivity increase down the group because of easily  removal of electrons.

On right side of periodic table atoms of nonmetals are more reactive by gaining the electrons. As we move down the group nuclear attraction becomes smaller because of shielding thus electron are less attracted by nucleus and reactivity decreases.
