Hm I’m confused, if you mean what are they weighting, it’s they :)
Answer: Within each element square, information on the element's symbol, atomic number, atomic mass, electronegativity, electron configuration, and valence numbers can be found. At the bottom of the periodic table is a two row block of elements that contain the lanthanoids and actinides.
Answer:
Take a look at the attachment below
Explanation:
Take a look at the periodic table. As you can see, Rubidium is the closest element to Cesium, and happens to have the closest boiling point to Cesium, with only a difference of about 30 degrees.
Respectively, you would think that fluorine should have the least similarity to Cesium with respect to it's boiling point, considering it is the farthest away from the element out of the 4 given. This is not an actual rule, there are no fixed trends of boiling points in the periodic table, there are some but overall the trends vary. However in this case fluorine does have the least similarity to Cesium with respect to it's boiling point, a difference of about 1,546.6 degrees.
<em>Hope that helps!</em>
Explanation:
Each element in the periodic table has different but fixed number of the protons in nucleus of it's atom, which is known as the atomic number.
Transmutation of one chemical element into the another involves the changing of the atomic number. Such nuclear reaction requires millions of the times more energy as compared to normal chemical reactions. Thus, the dream of the alchemist of transmuting the lead into the gold was never achievable chemically .
Conversion of lead to gold in today's world:
This conversion is indeed possible. The requirements are a particle accelerator, tremendous supply of the energy. Nuclear scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory located in California, more than 30 years ago, succeeded in producing very minute amounts of the gold from the bismuth. Bismuth is a metallic element which is adjacent to the lead on periodic table. Same process would work for the lead but isolating gold at end of reaction would prove much more difficult because lead is available in many isotopes. The homogeneous nature of the element means that it is easier to separate the gold from the bismuth as compared to separate the gold from the lead which has four isotopic identities which all are stable.
