Why is the mass in amu of a carbon-12 atom reported as 12.011 in the periodic table of the elements?

Chemistry

Bas_tet [7]3 years ago
7 0

The mass of an element listed in the Periodic Table is the weighted average of all its naturally occurring isotopes.

Naturally occurring carbon is about

99 % carbon-12 (12.000 u) + 1 % carbon-13 (13.003 u).

That extra carbon-13 makes the <em>average atomic mass</em>  greater than 12.000 u.

True or false. Gas particles never touch each other.
Sati [7]

Answer:

False.  In a gas, particles are in continual straight-line motion. The kinetic energy of the molecule is greater than the attractive force between them, thus they are much farther apart and move freely of each other.

Explanation:

Hope this helps! :)

fig. 15 shows a simplified diagram of the electrolysis of a molten electrolyte containing lithium chloride. b. Describe how the
melisa1 [442]

During the electrolysis of the molten lithium chloride, the Lithium ions (Li⁺) at the cathode undergoes reduction, and the electron configuration of lithium becomes 1s²2s¹.

<h3>What is electrolysis?</h3>

Electrolysis can be described as the process in which the electric current is passed through the chemical compound to break them.  In this process, the atoms and ions are interchanged by the addition or removal of electrons.

The ions are allowed to move freely in this process. When an ionic compound is melted or dissolved in water then ions are produced which can move freely.

During the electrolysis of molten lithium chloride, the lithium ions reach the cathode and accept the electrons while chloride ions reach at anode and loss electrons to become chlorine gas.

At anode :  2 Cl⁻ →    Cl₂ + 2e⁻

At cathode:   2 Li⁺   +   2e⁻  →  Li

Which of the statements about elements is true?
Jet001 [13]

1. No two elements have the same kind of atom.

Explanation:

The correct of all statement is that no two elements have the same kind of atoms.

Every element have different atoms.

  • Over a hundred elements have been identified by scientists.
  • Atoms are the smallest particles that takes part in chemical reactions.
  • Elements are distinct substances that cannot be split.
  • Atoms of all elements do not have the same mass and volume. Isotopes are examples.
  • It is true that atoms of all elements have different masses and also different volumes.
  • The volume of an atom is function of the number of electrons it contains.
