Hey there!

To find this, you should:

1) multiply the percentage (but in a decimal form) of each isotope by the mass.
2) add all your masses together
3) make sure to check for significant figures and you’re done!

Hope this helps :)

Which element most likely has the same number of valence electrons as silicon(si)?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Carbon, germanium, tin and lead.

Explanation:

The silicon is belong to the carbon family. There are five elements in carbon family carbon, silicon, germanium, tin and lead. These five elements are present in same group i.e group fourteen. The elements present in same group have same number of valance electrons.

For example.

Carbon electronic configuration:

C₆ = [He]  2s² 2p²

Silicon electronic configuration:

Si₁₄ = [Ne] 3s² 3p²

Germanium electronic configuration:

Ge₃₂ = [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p²

Tin electronic configuration:

Sn₅₀ = [Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s² 5p²

Lead electronic configuration:

Pb₈₂ = [Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d¹⁰ 6s² 6p²

we can see that in case of all elements there are four valance electrons, which are equal to the valance electrons of silicon.

An electron in the hydrogen atom makes a transition from an energy state of principal quantum number ni to the n = 2 state. If t
topjm [15]

Answer:

\boxed{3}

Explanation:

The Rydberg equation gives the wavelength λ for the transitions:

\dfrac{1}{\lambda} = R \left ( \dfrac{1}{n_{i}^{2}} - \dfrac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} \right )

where

R= the Rydberg constant (1.0974 ×10⁷ m⁻¹) and

\text{$n_{i}$ and $n_{f}$ are the numbers of the energy levels}

Data:

n_{f} = 2

λ = 657 nm

Calculation:  

\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{1}{657 \times 10^{-9}} & = & 1.0974 \times 10^{7}\left ( \dfrac{1}{2^{2}} - \dfrac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} \right )\\\\1.522 \times 10^{6} &= &1.0974\times10^{7}\left(\dfrac{1}{4} - \dfrac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} \right )\\\\0.1387 & = &\dfrac{1}{4} - \dfrac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} \\\\-0.1113 & = & -\dfrac{1}{n_{f}^{2}} \\\\n_{f}^{2} & = & \dfrac{1}{0.1113}\\\\n_{f}^{2} & = & 8.98\\n_{f} & = & 2.997 \approx \mathbf{3}\\\end{array}\\\text{The value of $n_{i}$ is }\boxed{\mathbf{3}}

Which sample contains more atoms: 3.89 g of nickel or 6.61 g of silver? defend your answer
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Nickel contains more atoms.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Number of atoms is determined by the Avogadro number.

1 mole of substance contains 6.022 X 10²³ atoms.

Given:

Mass of Nickel, Ni = 3.89g

Molecular weight of Ni = 58.6934g

Number of moles of Ni = 3.89/58.6934g

Number of atoms of Ni = \frac{3.89 X 6.022 X 10^2^3}{58.6934}

Number of atoms of Ni = 0.39 X 10²³

Mass of silver, Ag = 6.61g

Molecular weight of Ag = 107.8682g

Number of moles of Ag = 6.61/107.8682

Number of atoms of Ag = \frac{6.61 X 6.022 X 10^2^3}{107.8682}

Number of atoms of Ag = 0.36 X 10²³

Therefore, Nickel contains for atoms.
