How can iodine ( Z = 53) have a higher atomic number yet a lower atomic mass than telluriurn ( Z = 52)?

Chemistry

Leokris [45]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Iodine have higher atomic size than tellurium because of the presence of more number of protons and lower atomic mass than tellurium because of the presence of lower number of neutrons.

Explanation:

Atomic number of an element is the number of the protons present in the element.

Atomic mass is the sum of a protons and the neutrons which are present in the nucleus of the atom.

Iodine has higher atomic number than tellurium because it has more number of protons than the tellurium.

On the other hand, iodine has lower atomic mass than tellurium because it has less number of neutrons in its core.

What unit is not a measured volume
kodGreya [7K]
The base units of length and volume are linked in the metric system. By definition, a liter<span> is equal to the volume of a cube exactly 10 </span>cm<span> tall, 10 </span>cm<span> long, and 10 </span>cm<span> wide. Because the volume of this cube is 1000 cubic </span>centimeters<span> and a </span>liter<span> contains 1000 milliliters, 1 milliliter is equivalent to 1 cubic centimeter.</span>

You want to sweeten a cup of tea, and you have three types of sugar: sugar cubes (volume: 5ml), granulated sugar (volume: 0.1 ml
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

powdered sugar

Explanation:

The higher is the exposed area of sugar, the faster is the dissolution process. Thus, to choose between the different types of sugar, we have to look at the volume occupied by the sugar.

In sugar cubes, the particles of sugar as compacted in a cube, so the particles inside the cube are not exposed to the solvent (water). So, sugar cubes have the slowest dissolution process. Then, in granulated sugar, the particles have more area exposed, so this type of sugar will dissolve faster than sugar cubes. Finally, powdered sugar is composed of tiny particles with more are exposed, so powdered sugar has the fastest dissolution process.

Therefore, powdered sugar will dissolve the fastest.

What are pigments? How do they work?
Ivanshal [37]

Explanation:

Most pigments work by absorbing certain wavelengths of light. Other wavelengths are reflected or scattered, which cause you to see those colours. At the atomic level, certain wavelengths of light are of the correct energy to excite specific transitions of electrons in the molecules or the solid.
