Two elements next to each other that have decreasing atomic masses

Chemistry
1 answer:
pogonyaev3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

  • <u>Tellurium (Te) and iodine (I) are two elements </u><em><u>next to each other that have decreasing atomic masses.</u></em>

Explanation:

The <em>atomic mass</em> of tellurium (Te) is 127.60 g/mol and the atomic mass of iodine (I) is 126.904 g/mol; so, in spite of iodine being to the right of tellurium in the periodic table (because the atomic number of iodine is bigger than the atomic number of tellurium), the atomic mass of iodine is less than the atomic mass of tellurium.

The elements are arranged in increasing order of atomic number in the periodic table.

The atomic number is equal to the number of protons and the mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons.

The mass number, except for the mass defect, represents the atomic mass of a particular isotope. But the atomic mass of an element is the weighted average of the atomic masses of the different natural isotopes of the element.

Normally, as the atomic number increases, you find that the atomic mass increases, so most of the elements in the periodic table, which as said are arranged in icreasing atomic number order, match with increasing atomic masses. But the relative isotope abundaces of the elements can change that.

It is the case that the most common isotopes of tellurium have atomic masses 128 amu and 130 amu, whilst most common isotopes of iodine have an atomic mass 127 amu. As result, tellurium has an average atomic mass of 127.60 g/mol  whilst iodine has an average atomic mass of 126.904 g/mol.

• Take a look at the steps below to see how to balance this equation. Let's start by writing the unbalanced equation given the information.

Unbalanced Equation : C₃H₈ (g) + O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + H₂O (g) ,

Start by Balancing the Carbons : C₃H₈ (g) + O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + H₂O (g)

Now let's balance the Hydrogen : C₃H₈ (g) + O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (g)

Balancing the Oxygen : C₃H₈ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (g)

Balanced Equation : C₃H₈ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (g)

• Let's apply dimensional analysis here,

0.7 L propane × (5 liters Oxygen / 1 liter Propane) = 3.5 Liters of Oxygen

•  Similarly we can identify the liters of carbon dioxide produced in the reaction,

0.7 L propane × (3 liters Carbon Dioxide / 1 liter Propane) = 2.1 Liters of Carbon Dioxide

• 0.7 L propane × (4 liter water vapor / 1 liter propane ) = 2.8 Liters of Water Vapor

What does the 4 indicate in 1s22s22p4? 4th subshell 4 electrons 4th energy level
kupik [55]

Answer: The number 4 indicates 4 electrons.

Explanation: We are given an electronic configuration, which is:

1s^22s^22p^4

Here,

  • The letters denote the sub-shells of an element.
  • The numbers written before the letters which are 1, 2 and 2 represents the Principle Quantum Number and these represents the energy level of the sub-shells.
  • The number which are written in the superscripts which are 2, 2 and 4 denotes the electrons which are present in the sub-shell.

Hence, 4 indicates 4 electrons present in 2p sub-shell.
