Answer:

The smallest particle of a chemical element can be defined as an atom.

Explanation:

The number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atom's identity, and the number of electrons determines its electrical charge.

a single electron or one of two or more electrons in the outer shell of an atom that is responsible for the chemical properties of the atom is known as valence electrons.

An atom's reactivity is its tendency to lose or gain electrons. ... This is because they have one outer electron and losing it gives them the stability of a outer electron shell as the next level... The reactivities of elements can be predicted by periodic trends.

Which element has exactly five electrons in the highest principal energy level (the outer shell)?
statuscvo [17]
This question is asking for an element with 5 valence electrons.  Just go to the row it is in (excluding transition metals) and count over.  
The answer would be c. P

Zn-64 = 48.63%
Ann [662]

Answer:

A = 65.46 u

Explanation:

Given that,

The composition of zinc is as follows :

Zn-64 = 48.63%

Zn-66 = 27.90%

Zn-67 = 4.10%

Zn-68 = 18.75%

Zn-70 = .62%

We need to find the  average atomic mass of the given element. It can be solved as follows :

A=\dfrac{48.63\times 64+27.90\times 66+4.1\times 67+18.75\times 68+0.62\times 70}{100}\\A=65.46\ u

So, the average atomic mass of zinc is 65.46 u.
