Answer:

39.13

Explanation:

To find that atomic mass of this potassium, we follow the steps below:

 Given parameters:

Abundance of K - 39  = 93.26%

Mass of K - 39  = 39

Abundance of K - 41  = 6.73%

Mass of K - 41 = 41

To find the average atomic mass;

Average atomic mass  =( mass x abundance of k -39 ) +( mass abundance of k- 41)

Average atomic mass =  (39 x  93.26%) + (41 x6.73%  )  = 39.13

[HELP PLEASE] Describe the difference between the ways valence electrons are rearranged when forming ionic bonds and covalent bo
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

According to the big bang theory, which statement is accurate about how the universe came to be?
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The term Big Bang defines that the Universe has expanded from the ancient hot and thick primary situation at some fixed time in the past.

Big Bang theory refers to the origin of the Universe. In the beginning, universe is very heavy and small hot ball of matter. It was a point no bigger than the head of a pin when all the things squished with each other and universe is expanded with huge explosion of energy. Due to expansion, it is cooled and results in the formation of Stars and galaxies. After sometime, atoms formed like helium and hydrogen.

Thus, statement (1), (3) and (4) is correct whereas statement (2) and (5) is incorrect. the right answer is - (It expanded slowly), (Stars and galaxies formed,) (Atoms such as hydrogen and helium formed.)
