Answer:

Refer to your periodic table. Lewis dot structures are based off the number of valence electrons an atom has.

Looking at the compounds, we can see that Gallium has three valence electrons in its outer shell and oxygen has six. Oxygen and Gallium are going to share electrons with one another, making a V shape in their diagram.

One Oxygen would make a double bond with a Gallium, leaving one valence electron to another oxygen. That oxygen takes that Final electron. It now has 7 in its outer shell. The remaining Gallium and Oxygen do the same double bond as the one before, leaving the 7 valence electron oxygen with one more electron.

How is calculating a weighted average

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The Key difference between average vs weighted average is that simple average is nothing but simply adding up all the observation values and dividing the same by the total number of observations to calculate the average whereas weighted average is an average where each observation value will have a frequency assigned.

antimony has two naturally occuring isotopes, sb121sb121 and sb123sb123 . sb121sb121 has an atomic mass of 120.9038 u120.9038 u

Luda [366]

Considering the definition of atomic mass, isotopes and atomic mass of an element, sb121 has a percent natural abundance of 0.5726 or 57.26% and sb123 has a percent natural abundance of 0.4284 or 42.84%.

<h3>Definition of atomic mass</h3>

The atomic mass is obtained by adding the number of protons and neutrons in a given nucleus of a chemical element.

<h3>Definition of isotope</h3>

Isotopes are the chemical elements in which atomic numbers are the same, but the number of neutrons is different.

<h3>Definition of atomic mass</h3>

The atomic mass of an element is the weighted average mass of its natural isotopes.

This is, the atomic masses of elements are usually calculated as the weighted average of the masses of the different isotopes of each element, considering the relative abundance of each of them.

<h3>Percent natural abundance of each isotope</h3>

In this case, antimony has two naturally occuring isotopes, sb121 and sb123. You know:

sb121 has an atomic mass of 120.9038 u.
sb121 has a percent natural abundance of x.
sb123 has an atomic mass of 122.9042 u.
sb123 has a percent natural abundance of 1 -x (or, what is the same, the abundance is 100% - x%, since both isotopes form 100% of the element.)
Antimony has an average atomic mass of 121.7601 u
