Answer:

6.018 amu

Explanation:

Let 6–Li be isotope A.

Let 7–Li be isotope B.

Let the abundance of 6–Li be A%

Let the abundance of 7–Li be B%

The following data were obtained from the question:

Atomic mass of isotope A (6–Li) =.?

Atomic mass of isotope B (7–Li ) = 7.015 amu.

Abundance of 7–Li (B%) = 92.58%

Abundance of 6–Li (A%) = 100 – B% = 100 – 92.58 = 7.42%

Atomic mass of Lithium = 6.941amu

The atomic mass of isotope A (6–Li) can be obtained as follow:

Atomic mass = [(Mass of A x A%)/100] + [(Mass of B x B%)/100]

6.941 = [(mass of A x 7.42)/100] + [(7.015x92.58)/100]

6.941 = [(mass of A x 7.42)/100] + 6.494487

(mass of A x 7.42)/100 = 6.941 – 6.494487

(mass of A x 7.42)/100 = 0.446513

Mass of A x 7.42 = 100 x 0.446513

Mass of A x 7.42 = 44.6513

Divide both side by 7.42

Mass of A = 44.6513 / 7.42

Mass of A = 6.018 amu

Therefore, the mass of 6–Li is 6.018 amu

Explain why materials with metallic lattice structures can be used to make wires and connections that conduct electricity in ele

kogti [31]

All metals have similar properties BUT, there can be wide variations in melting point, boiling point, density, electrical conductivity and physical strength.To explain the physical properties of metals like iron or sodium we need a more sophisticated picture than a simple particle model of atoms all lined up in close packed rows and layers, though this picture is correctly described as another example of a giant lattice held together by metallic bonding.A giant metallic lattice – the crystal lattice of metals consists of ions (NOT atoms) surrounded by a 'sea of electrons' that form the giant lattice (2D diagram above right).The outer electrons (–) from the original metal atoms are free to move around between the positive metal ions formed (+).These 'free' or 'delocalised' electrons from the outer shell of the metal atoms are the 'electronic glue' holding the particles together.There is a strong electrical force of attraction between these free electrons (mobile electrons or 'sea' of delocalised electrons) (–) and the 'immobile' positive metal ions (+) that form the giant lattice and this is the metallic bond. The attractive force acts in all directions.Metallic bonding is not directional like covalent bonding, it is like ionic bonding in the sense that the force of attraction between the positive metal ions and the mobile electrons acts in every direction about the fixed (immobile) metal ions of the metal crystal lattice, but in ionic lattices none of the ions are mobile. a big difference between a metal bond and an ionic bond.Metals can become weakened when repeatedly stressed and strained.This can lead to faults developing in the metal structure called 'metal fatigue' or 'stress fractures'.If the metal fatigue is significant it can lead to the collapse of a metal structure.

A reaction of importance in the formation of smog is that between ozone and nitrogen monoxide described by O3(g)+NO(g)⟶O2(g)+NO2

julsineya [31]

Answer:

Initial rate of reaction is $2.07\times 10^{-3}M.s^{-1}$ .

Explanation:

It is a second order reaction.

Initial rate of reaction = $k[O_{3}]_{0}[NO]_{0}$ , where k is rate constant, $[O_{3}]_{0}$ is the initial concentration of $O_{3}$ and $[NO]_{0}$ is the initial concentration of NO.

Here, k = $4.09\times 10^{6}M^{-1}.s^{-1}$ , $[O_{3}]_{0}=5.84\times 10^{-6}M$ and $[NO]_{0}=8.65\times 10^{-5}M$

So, initial rate of reaction = $(4.09\times 10^{6}M^{-1}.s^{-1})\times (5.84\times 10^{-6}M)\times (8.65\times 10^{-5}M)$

= $2.07\times 10^{-3}M.s^{-1}$

So, initial rate of reaction is $2.07\times 10^{-3}M.s^{-1}$

what is the difference between the number of electrons in an atom of selenium and the number of electrons in an atom of aluminum

igomit [66]

Answer:

The atomic number of Selenium is 34. This means that Selenium possesses 34 electrons.

The atomic number of Aluminium is 13. This means that Aluminium has 13 electrons.

Hence, there is a difference of 21 between the number of electrons in an atom of selenium and the number of electrons in an atom of aluminium.

Selenium has 6 electrons in it's outer most shell whereas aluminium has 3 electrons in its outer most shell. As a result, aluminium will have a greater tendency to lose one of its outer most electrons to become stable.
