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.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

Bohr's model

Explanation:

Rutherford's experimental evidence best supports the Bohr's model. Recall that in the Bohr's model, the Rutherford model was regarded as a fundamental stepping stone.

Experimental evidence from the Bohr's model shows that the atom is not a sphere of positive charges in which negative charges were embedded. It would have been impossible for Neils Bohr to build the quantum theory from such a model.

Hence, the nuclear theory of Rutherford provided a fundamental stepping stone and experimental backup for the Bohr's model of the atom.

All other models mentioned in task 1 (Dalton, Thompson and Bohr) all mention the fact that the atom is made of particles. Thompson effectively described the particles as negative and positive in nature. Bohr took the idea further by proposing that the negative particles (electrons) were actually found in energy levels that are quantized.

A student made the Lewis dot diagram of a compound as shown. Mg is written with two dots shown on its top. Cl is written on the
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The dots were not properly located and arrows are not used in Lewis structures

Explanation:

If we intend to write a Lewis structure for a compound, that lewis structure must consist of only dots. These dots actually show the valence electrons on the outermost shell of the molecule.

We do not involve arrows when writing dot electron structures for compounds. The valence electrons of magnesium ought not to be written together because they are not a lone pair, rather they are two unpaired electrons. The use of an arrow suggests a coordinate covalent bond which is not the case here.

The correct lewis structure for MgCl2 is shown in the image attached to this answer.

A 33.6 mL solution of KCl has a mass of 27.29 g. After evaporating to dryness, the dry salt residues has a mass of 6.31 g. Calcu
bixtya [17]

For  the molarity and the  percentage of the mass of kcl are mathematically given as

%m/m = 23.1%, molarity  = 3.38M

<h3>What is the molarity?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the  percentage of the mass of kcl is mathematically given as

(mass of kcl/mass of solution)x 100

therefore

%m/m = (6.31/27.29)x100

%m/m = 23.1%

The molarity

(no of mol/ vol of sol)

molarity  = 0.0846mol/0.0250 L

molarity  = 3.38M

In conclusion, the molarity is given as

molarity  = 3.38M
