Oxygen is the most abundant element in erath's crust (46 % by weight). Oxygen is present in Group 16 in the periodic table. The other elements in this period are: Sulphur (S), Selenium (Se), Tellurium (Te). The general electronic configuration of the elements present in Group 16 is: ns² np⁴. Oxygen is smallest in size among other elements in the same group. It exists as O₂ molecule where O=O bond is found. These O₂ molecules are associated through  van der Waal's force of attraction which are very weak, because of that O₂ exists as gas. Except oxygen, other elements do not form divalent molecule and they have  d-orbitals, so they can show catenation property by which large number of atoms are connected via covalent bonds. Hence those elements are not gaseous. Sulphur, Selenium and Tellurium are solid,

As of right now, which of the following forms of nuclear power is the most feasible for human use?
nikitadnepr [17]

As of now, the nuclear fission is the most feasible energy source for human use. All the nuclear power plants are based on the controlled nuclear fission reaction, where the unstable nucleus is bombarded with high speed neutrons, thus, splitting the nucleus into stable ones and releasing huge amount of energy. The nuclear fusion requires very high temperature, the temperature equal's to that of the sun. Hence, it is not feasible right now. As the technology advances, we will see advancement in other form of energies.

Magnesium has three naturally occurring isotopes with masses of 23.99 amuamu, 24.99 amuamu, and 25.98 amuamu and natural abundan
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

24.309 g/mol

Explanation:

To get the atomic mass, all we have to do is calculate with the masses of the three isotope, the real quantity present, taking account of the percent and then, do a sum of these three values. Like a pondered media.

For the first isotope:

23.99 * (78.99/100) = 18.95 g/mol

For the second isotope:

24.99 * (10/100) = 2.499 g/mol

For the last isotope:

25.98 * (11.01/100) = 2.86 g/mol

Now, let's sum all three together

AW = 18.95 + 2.499 + 2.86

AW = 24.309 g/mol
