Answer:

There are different isotopes for different elements

Explanation:

The mass of each of the isotopes of an element are added with their percentage each then they are divided by 100

Example boron 11 is 80 % boron 10 is 20%

Total mass of boron 10 is 20*10

Total mass of boron 11 is 80*11

Atomic mass is (20*10)+(80*11)/100

Which is 10.8 and it is rounded off as 11 in the periodic table

Answer:

The atomic mass is the average number of protons and neutrons for all natural isotopes of an element. It is a decimal number.

Explanation:

Atomic Mass and Mass Number Example :

Hydrogen has three natural isotopes: 1H, 2H, and 3H. Each isotope has a different mass number.

1H has 1 proton. Its mass number is 1. 2H has 1 proton and 1 neutron. Its mass number is 2. 3H has 1 proton and 2 neutrons. Its mass number is 3. 99.98% of all hydrogen is 1H 0.018% of all hydrogen is 2H 0.002% of all hydrogen is 3H Together, they give a value of atomic mass of hydrogen equal to 1.0079 g/mol.

Answer:

Explanation:

Hydrogen fusion (nuclear fusion of four protons to form a helium-4 nucleus) is the dominant process that generates energy in the cores of main-sequence stars. It is also called "hydrogen burning", which should not be confused with the chemical combustion of hydrogen in an oxidizing atmosphere.

Calculate the number of atoms of sodium in a 4.5-gram sample
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

1.18×10²³ atoms.

Explanation:

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

From the above concept, 1 mole of sodium also contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

1 mole of sodium = 23 g.

Thus,

23 g of sodium contains 6.02×10²³ atoms.

Therefore, 4.5 g of sodium will contain = (4.5 × 6.02×10²³)/23 = 1.18×10²³ atoms.

From the above calculation,

4.5 g of sodium contains 1.18×10²³ atoms.
