<u>Answer:</u> The percentage abundance of _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} and _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i   .....(1)

Let the fractional abundance of _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} isotope be 'x'. So, fractional abundance of _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotope will be '1 - x'

  • <u>For _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} isotope:</u>

Mass of _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} isotope = 35 amu

Fractional abundance of _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} isotope = x

  • <u>For _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotope:</u>

Mass of _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotope = 37 amu

Fractional abundance of _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotope = 1 - x

Average atomic mass of chlorine = 35.45 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

35.45=[(35\times x)+(37\times (1-x))]\\\\x=0.775

Percentage abundance of _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} isotope = 0.775\times 100=77.5\%

Percentage abundance of _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotope = (1-0.775)=0.225\times 100=22.5\%

Hence, the percentage abundance of _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} and _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.

What could be the fourth quantum number of a 1s^2 electron be?
Bumek [7]

The forth quantum number is Spin quantum number and the value of Spin Quantum Number of 1s² will be +1/2. Therefore, the correct option is (B) option

<h3>What is Spin Quantum Number ?</h3>

It describes the orientation of the electron spin (rotation) in space.

In the given case of 1s² configuration,

since, the Quantum numbers are known as:

  • Principal quantum number (n) which cannot be zero.

       The allowed values of n are therefore 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on.

  • Angular quantum number (l) is able to be any integer between 0  

       and n-1.

       Therefore, for example, If n = 1, l will be 0,

                                                If n = 2, l can be either 0 or 1.

  • Magnetic quantum number (m) is able to be any integer between -l and +l.    

       Therefore, for example, If l = 3, m can be either -3 to +3.

  • Spin Quantum Number (ms): Ms = +½ or -½  accounts for the orientation of the spin axis of an electron as it is able to spin in only one of two directions.

Thus, since the fourth quantum number is Ms, spin, we infer that the answer is (B) option ie, Ms = +1/2 because it represents the positive spin on 1s².

Name 2 separate technique in separating iodine crystal and iron filings​
KonstantinChe [14]

One is through sublimation, where the mixture is heated and iodine gets converted into gaseous form, leaving behind the iron fillings.

The other is to get a magnet near the mixture and all the iron fillings get attracted to it while iodine will be left over
