In 1913, Henry Moseley discovered a way to calculate the atomic number for each element and it was determined to arrange the per

iodic table by atomic number and not atomic mass. Why is atomic number the better way to organize the elements of the periodic table and not organizing by atomic mass?
A.The atomic mass can vary based on the number of neutrons the atoms of the same element have, so the atomic mass may not be in order.  Also, the atomic number is unique to each element.

B.The atomic number can be different for atoms of the same element, so it makes the patterns of the periodic table more varied.

C.The atomic number can vary based on the number of neutrons the atoms of the same element have, so the atomic mass may not be in order.  Also, the atomic mass is unique to each element.

D.The atomic number and atomic mass are equivalent, so the atomic number is used because it is a smaller number

The following Lewis diagram represents the valence electron configuration of a main-group element. This element is in group 2A A
Paraphin [41]

<u>Answer:</u> The symbol of the ion formed is Ca^{2+}

<u>Explanation:</u>

An ion is formed when a neutral atom looses or gains electrons.

  • When an atom looses electrons, it results in the formation of positive ion known as cation.
  • When an atom gains electrons, it results in the formation of negative ion known as anion.

Electronic configuration is defined as the representation of electrons around the nucleus of an atom.

Number of electrons in an atom is determined by the atomic number of that atom.

The element present in Group 2-A and in period 4 is Calcium (Ca)

Electronic configuration of Ca atom:  1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2

This atom will loose 2 electrons to attain stable electronic configuration similar to Argon element (noble gas)

The electronic configration of Ca^{2+}\text{ ion}=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6

Hence, the symbol of the ion formed is Ca^{2+}

How does the reaction, A + BC ⇌ AB + C, differ from the reaction, N2 + 3H2 ⇌ 2NH3 + energy, by which ammonia is synthesized?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

N₂+3H₂ ⇄2NH₃ is a thermochemical reaction whereas A+BC⇄AB is not.

A+BC⇄AB is a reaction of pure a element with a compound while N₂+3H₂ ⇄2NH₃ is a reaction between two pure elements.

Explanation:

Let A+BC⇄AB be equation i and N₂+3H₂ ⇄2NH₃ be equation ii.

The two reactions differ in that ii is a thermo-chemical reaction whereas i is not. This is because energy is included in reaction ii but not included in reaction i.

Also i is a reaction of pure a element with a compound while ii is a reaction between two pure elements. The compound is BC while the pure element is A.
