Answer:
C. two atoms of oxygen.
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Silicon has 14 electrons
Silicon is part of Group IV, all the elements there have 4 valence electrons.
It can form a compound when 4 valence electrons bind with the 4 valence elctrons of silicon
A. four atoms of calcium.
Calcium has 2 valence elctrons. 4 atoms of calcium <u>cannot bind</u> on 1 atom of silicon since there are only 4 valence electrons.
B. one atom of chlorine.
1 atom of chlorine has 7 valence electrons. Chlorine can bind with an atom with 1 valence electron. Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, they will <u>not bind.</u>
Silicon can bind with 4 atoms of chlorine to form SiCl4
C. two atoms of oxygen.
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, this means oxygen can bind with an element with 2 valence electrons.
Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, it <u>can bind</u> with 2 atoms of oxygen to form SiO2 (silicon dioxide).
D. three atoms of hydrogen.
Hydrogen has 1 valence electron. 1 hydrogen atom can bind with an element that has 7 valence electrons.
Three atoms of hydrogen can bind with an element that has 5 valence electrons.
Silicon <u>will not</u> bind with 3 atoms of hydrogen ( but can bind with 4 atoms of hydrogen)
Answer: 3) 39.96 amu
Explanation:
Mass of isotope Ar- 36 = 35.97 amu
% abundance of isotope Ar- 36= 0.337% = 
Mass of isotope Ar- 38 = 37.96 amu
% abundance of isotope 2 = 0.063 % = 
Mass of isotope Ar- 40 = 39.96 amu
% abundance of isotope 2 = 99.600 % = 
Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :
![A=\sum[(35.97\times 3.37\times 10^{-3})+(37.96\times 6.3\times 10^{-4})+(39.96\times 0.996)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D%5Csum%5B%2835.97%5Ctimes%203.37%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-3%7D%29%2B%2837.96%5Ctimes%206.3%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-4%7D%29%2B%2839.96%5Ctimes%200.996%29%5D)
Therefore, the average atomic mass of argon is 39.96 amu
