<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is the mass number of the most common isotope of the element is 24.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

An element having atomic number 12 is magnesium and atomic mass of the element is 24.305

The image corresponding will be _{24.305}\textrm{Mg}^{12}\\\text{Magnesium}

The number '24.305' is the average atomic mass of magnesium element.

Average atomic mass is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i

Average atomic mass of magnesium = 24.305 amu

As, the average atomic mass of magnesium lies closer to the mass of Mg-24 isotope. This means that the relative abundance of this isotope is the highest of all the other isotopes.

The 'Mg-24' isotope is the most common isotope of the given element.

Hence, the correct answer is the mass number of the most common isotope of the element is 24.

Which process is an example of a physical change?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The answer is flattening

Explanation:

A physical change is generally something that affects the shape of form of the matter and a chemical change results from a chemical reaction. Flames are caused by chemical reactions, as is rust, and the process of a fruit becoming ripe. Thus, the answer is “flattening”.

How many acidic H+ ion is given by H3BO3 in aqueous solution?? ...?
notka56 [123]
Boric acid, H3BO3, in aqueous solution would only give out one H+ ion. As it is also produce OH ion and by hydrolysis it produces one proton. <span>All the boron compounds (BX3) are having only 6 valence electrons in it and should follow the octet rule by taking another electron.</span>

What is the oxidation number of Cl in chlorate ion ClO3?
Kryger [21]

The correct answer to this question is "5." the oxidation number of cl in ClO3 will be a positive 5 because oxygen is naturally a -2 charge. times that by three and then account for the negative charge of the CLO3- ion.
