Naturally occurring magnesium exists as three isotopes. 78.70% is Mg-24 with a mass of 23.98504 amu, 10.13% is Mg-25 with a mass

of 24.98584 amu, and 11.17% is Mg-26 with a mass of 25.98259 amu. What is the atomic mass of magnesium?

Answer:

The correct answer is 24.31 amu.

Explanation:

The formula for finding the average atomic mass = The sum of the percentage abundance of isotopes × the actual mass of isotopes

The average atomic mass = % abundance of Mg-24 × actual mass + % abundance of Mg-25 × its actual mass + % abundance of Mg-26 × its actual mass

Avg. Atomic mass = 0.7870 × 23.98504 + 0.1013 × 24.98584 + 0.1117 × 25.98259

Avg. atomic mass = 18.88 + 2.53 + 2.90 = 24.31 amu

The atomic mass of magnesium is 24.31 amu.

Why is the formation of water a synthesis reaction?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Explanation:

A synthesis reaction: It is defined as a kind of reaction where one and more than one reactant attached and creates an individual product.

The formation of the water is an example of a synthesis reaction because here more than one reactants combine and create a single product (water). Water formation occurs when 2 hydrogens and an oxygen share electrons through covalent bonds.

2H + O ----> H2O.

In Lewis Structures, δ (delta) is used in conjunction with _______.
Monica [59]

Answer:

B. Electrical charges of polar covalent bonds

Explanation:

Lewis structures, also known as Lewis dot diagrams are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule and lone pairs of an electron that may exist in the molecule.

Polar covalent bonds are bonds that occur where a pair of electrons is shared unevenly between two atoms

The Lewis notation as an agreed convection, uses the delta sign to indicate polar covalent bonds when they occur in compounds. It shows that the electrons are shared unevenly.

Consider the example attached below. The Lewis structure for HF is given. the δ+ is used to show the  electropositive Hydrogen atom while the δ- is used to show the electronegative Fluorine atom in the bond.
