The astronaut then measures the abundance of strontium on the new planet, obtaining the following results:

1 answer:

8 0

Atomic mass is equal to the average number allowing for the relative abundances of different isotopes. It is calculated by:

Atomic mass = ΣzₓAₓ

where zₓ is the relative abundance of the isotope and Aₓ is the atomic mass of the isotope.

Atomic mass = (0.0946x85.91) + (0.07x86.91) + (0.8354x87.91) = 87.6508 amu

An orbital is the space occupied by a pair of electrons.<br> true or false??

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

An orbital is is the space occupied by a pair of electrons. The maximum number of electrons in an orbital is 2.

The maximum number of electrons in in the orbitals are two.

For s-sublevel with one orbital we have two electrons

p-sublevel with three orbitals we have six electrons

d - sublevel with five orbitals we have ten electrons

f - sublevel with seven orbitals we have fourteen electrons

Each orbital can take a maximum of two electrons.

Which elements can form acidic compounds?

pashok25 [27]

Sodium and magnesium oxides are alkaline. Aluminium oxides are amphoteric (reacting both as a base or acid). Silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, and chlorine oxides are acidic. Some non-metal oxides, such as nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon monoxide (CO), do not display any acid/base characteristics.

explain using diagrams how potassium forms the compound potassium flouride when it reacts with flourine

Katarina [22]

Answer:

The answer to your question is given below.

Explanation:

Potassium (K) has 19 electrons with electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8, 1.

Fluorine (F) has 9 electrons with electronic configuration of 2, 7.

Fluorine needs 1 electron to complete it's octet configuration.

Hence, potassium (K), will lose 1 electron to fluorine (F) to form potassium ion (K+) with electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8. The fluorine atom (F) will receive the 1 electron from potassium to form the fluoride ion (F-) with electronic configuration of 2, 8.
