Naturally occurring neon exists as three isotopes. 90.51% is ne-20 with a mass of 19.99 amu, 0.27% is ne-21 with a mass of 20.99

amu, and 9.22% is ne-22 with a mass of 21.99 amu. what is the atomic mass of neon?

The atomic mass of an element is the average relative mass of its atoms as compared with an atom of carbon-12 whose mass is taken as 12. In terms of percentages of different isotopes, the average atomic mass can be determined as follows: A_{average} = ∑(p_{i}X A_{i})/100. Where, p_{i} is the percentage abundance of isotope with atomic number A_{i}.

So, average atomic mass of neon = \frac{(90.51 X 19.99) + (0.27 X 20.99) + (9.22 X 21.99)}{100} = 20.177 amu.

The proposed mechanism for a reaction is: Step 1: A + B X (fast) Step 2: X + C Y (slow) Step 3: Y D (fast) What is the overall r
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

(slow)xy2+z→xy2z (fast) c step1:step2:xy2+z2→xy2z2

Explanation:

Step1: xy2+z2→xy2z2 (slow)

Step2: xy2z2→xy2z+z (fast)

2XY 2 + Z 2 → 2XY 2 Z

Rate= k[xy2][z2]

 

When the two elementary steps are summed up, the result is equivalent to the stoichiometric equation. Hence, this mechanism is acceptable. The order of both elementary steps is 2, which is ‘≤3’; this also makes this mechanism acceptable. Furthermore, the rate equation aligns with the experimentally determined rate equation, and this also makes this mechanism acceptable. Therefore, since all the three rules have been observed, this mechanism is possible.

Svetach [21]

Answer:oxygen Explanation:The medical condition described here is anaemia. It is a blood cell disorder whereby the red blood cell doesn't function properly and hence doesn't carry enough oxygen to the tissues. This is usually caused when ones body is deficient of iron.The symptoms that may occur to such patients are weakness, fatigue, headache and pale skin.Based on the explanation, the answer is oxygen

Which bond has the greatest ionic character? A) H-Cl B) H-F c) H-O d) H-N
Len [333]
 I really hope that this helps.  H-F because the difference in electronegativity is the greatest, about 1.9 on the Pauling scale. The term means which bond has the greatest polarity and is thus most similar to an ionic bond, which involves the transfer of an electron (in opposition to covalent bonds, which share electrons). It is H-F because out of all the atoms here bonded with H, ie hydrogen, F is the most electronegative which means it can pull the bonded electrons to itself more than can Cl, O, and N. <span>That means a stronger polarization of the electron cloud forming the bond with hydrogen and therefore a stronger ionic character.</span>
