Answer:

Average atomic mass of element X is 56.19 amu

Explanation:

Given:

Four isotopes of X:

5.845% of X has a mass of 53.93961 amu.

91.75% of X has a mass of 55.93494 amu.

2.123% of X has a mass of 56.93539 amu.

0.2820% of X has a mass of 57.93328 amu.

To find: average atomic mass of element X

Solution:

Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element such that they have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.

Average atomic mass of element X = \frac{53.93961+55.93494+56.93539+57.93328}{4}=\frac{224.74322}{4}=56.185805\approx 56.19

So, the average atomic mass of element X is 56.19 amu.

Which discipline of Earth and space science is concerned with the study of the planets and stars?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

The discipline of Earth and space science is concerned with the study of the planets and stars is

A. Astronomy

Explanation:

A.Astronomy:

'Astron' means stars and 'nomos' means laws. So astronomy is the study of stars , planets and space

B. biology

It is derived from Greek word : 'Bios' means life and 'logos' means study.

Biology is study of life, living organism ,structure of organisms,evolution

C.Geology

It is the earth science which includes the study of rocks and solid earth, what it is made of and how it has changed .

D. Oceanography

It is the study of physical and biological aspects of oceans

How does liquid turn into gas? (Question for my sister)
kodGreya [7K]
If you were to take water (like many other materials) and break it up into almost the smallest things you could, you’d get molecules. If the molecules are stuck together really tightly in a regular pattern, then they’re called a solid. The solid form of water is ice. This actually makes a lot of sense, because it certainly does seem like all the little parts of a solid (like ice) are stuck together very tightly.

When you heat something up, it makes the molecules move faster. If you heat up a typical solid, it melts and becomes a liquid. In a liquid (like water), the molecules are still stuck together, but they can move around some. What actually happens is that the molecules are still sort of sticking together, but they’re constantly breaking apart and sticking to different molecules. This also makes sense when you think about water. Water sort of sticks together, but it breaks apart /really/ easily.

If you heat a liquid like water up even more (like if you put it in a pot on the stove), then the molecules will move around so fast that they can’t even hold on to each other at all. When this happens, all of the molecules go flying apart and become a gas (like when you boil water to make steam). The process of gas molecules leaving the liquid to go into the gas is called "evaporation." The opposite process is called "condensation."

Four atoms are arbitrarily labeled D, E, F, and G. Their electronegativities are as follows: D = 3.8, E = 3.3, F = 2.8, and G =
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Thus the order of covalent character will be

DG < EG < DF < DE

Explanation:

The electronegativity decides the nature of bond formed between two atoms.

More the difference in electronegativity more the ionic character in the bond formed.

Let us check the electronegativity difference between the elements forming molecules

a) DE :

3.8-3.3 = 0.5

b) DG :

3.8-1.3 = 2.5

c) EG

3.3-1.3 = 2

d) DF

3.8-2.8 = 1.3

So the maximum ionic character will be in DG and minimum in DE

Thus the order of covalent character will be

DG < EG < DF < DE
