Answer:

162.35 amu

Explanation:

Let A represent isotope X-159

Let B represent isotope X-163

Let C represent isotope X-164

The following data were obtained from the question:

Isotope >>> Abundance >>> Mass no

A >>>>>>>> 30.60 >>>>>>>> 159.37

B >>>>>>>> 15.79 >>>>>>>>> 162.79

C >>>>>>>> 53.61 >>>>>>>>> 163.92

Average Atomic mass =.?

The average atomic mass of element X can be obtained as follow:

Average atomic mass = [(mass of A × A%)/100] + [(mass of B × B%)/100] + [(mass of C × C%)/100]

= [(159.37 × 30.60)/100] + [(162.79 × 15.79)/100] + [(163.92 × 53.61)/100]

= 48.77 + 25.70 + 87.88

= 162.35 amu

Therefore, the average atomic mass of element X is 162.35 amu

Answer:

[He]: 2s² 2p⁵.

[Ne]: 3s².

[Ar]: 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p².

[Kr]: 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁵.

[Xe]: 6s² 4f¹⁴ 5d¹⁰ 6p².

Explanation:

  • Noble elements are used as blocks in writing the electronic configuration of other elements as they are stable elements.

  • [He]:

He contains 2 electrons fill 1s (1s²).

So, [He] can be written before the electronic configuration of 2s² 2p⁵.

  • [Ne]:

Ne contains 10 electrons fill (1s² 2s² 2p⁶).

So, [Ne] can be written before the electronic configuration of 3s².

  • [Ar]:

Ar contains 18 electrons is configured as ([Ne] 3s² 3p⁶).

So, [Ar] can be written before the electronic configuration of 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p².

  • [Kr]:

Kr contains 36 electrons is configured as ([Ar] 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶).

So, [Kr] can be written before the electronic configuration of 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁵.

  • [Xe]:

Xe contains 54 electrons is configured as ([Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁶).

So, [Xe] can be written before the electronic configuration of 6s² 4f¹⁴ 5d¹⁰ 6p².
