The first periodic table was organized according to atomic mass, but the current periodic table is arranged according to atomic

number. What is the difference between atomic mass and atomic number, and why is the atomic number now the basis for the periodic table?

Answer: Atomic mass is associated with the number of neutrons and protons that are present in a particular nucleus of an element. Atomic number is usually the number of protons present in an element's nucleus. It is the average weight of an element. It is the total number of nucleons in the atom's nucleus.

Assuming there were errors in atomic masses, Mendeleev placed certain elements not in order of increasing atomic mass so that they could fit into the proper groups (similar elements have similar properties) of his periodic table.

The average American is looking at their phone for 6.25 hours a day. How many hours will the average American spend on their pho
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

177253.125hrs

Explanation:

Given parameters:

  Number of hours spend per day on phone  = 6.25hrs

 Unknown:

Average hours pend by an average American if they lived for 77.7yrs

Solution:

Let us find the number of hours an average American spends on their phone per year;

    there are 365days in a year

 Number of hours  = 365 x 6.25  = 2,281.25hrs

Now, if they lived for 77.7yrs;

  They will spend  = 77.7 x 2,281.25 = 177253.125hrs

2. Which of the following elements does not lose an electron easily? (a) Na (6) F (c) Mg (d) Al​
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Answer: (b) F

Explanation:

Sodium has 1, magnesium has 2 and Aluminium has 3 electrons in its outermost shell whereas Fluorine has 7 electrons in its outermost shell hence Fluorine does not lose electrons easily.

The electronic configuration of fluorine is 2,7.

Fluorine is the ninth element with a total of 9 electrons.

The first two electrons will go in the 1s orbital.

The next 2 electrons for F go in the 2s orbital.

The remaining five electrons will go in the 2p orbital. Therefore the F electron configuration will be 1s22s22p5.
