How does the abundance of various isotopes affect the atomic mass?

Chemistry
1 answer:
eduard3 years ago
6 0

solution:

The quoted atomic mass on the Periodic Table is the WEIGHTED average of the individual isotopic masses. The higher the isotopic percentage, the MORE that isotope will contribute to the isotopic mass. For this reason, most masses that are quoted on the Table are non-integral.

By way of example we could look to the hydrogen atom. The VAST majority of hydrogen atoms (in this universe) are the protium isotope. i.e. 1H, whose nuclei contain JUST the defining proton. There is a smaller percentage (>1%) of hydrogen atoms WITH one NEUTRON in their nuclei to give the deuterium isotope. i.e. 2H, and because this is relatively cheap, and easily incorporated into a molecule, deuterium labelling is routinely used in analysis.

And there is even a smaller percentage of hydrogen atoms with TWO NEUTRONS in their nuclei, to give the tritium isotope. i.e. 3H. The weighted average of the isotopic percentages gives 1.00794⋅g⋅mol^{−1}

Which pair of elements form an ionic bond?
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

As an example I can say sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl).

Explanation:

An ionic bond occurs when a metal element reacts with a nonmetal element. Therefore in the answer given above the Na is metal and Cl is nonmetal and they form a molecule through ionic bonding.

Heavy rainfall causes a landslide. Hence, option A is correct.

<h3>What is a landslide?</h3>

A landslide is defined as the movement of a mass of rock, debris, or earth down a slope.

Water can trigger landslides and mudslides because it alters the pressure within the slope, which leads to slope instability.

Consequently, the heavy water-laden slope materials (soil, rock, etc.) will succumb to the forces of gravity.

Hence, option A is correct.
