Elements are distinguished from each other by the number of protons present in their nuclei??

The state of matter that has molecules with the least random molecular arrangement:

Ksenya-84 [330]

Gas. Molecules in gas are able to move and vibrate around each other more freely than the molecules in liquids and/or solids due to the great amount of space in between them. Hope this helps! :)

A hypothetical element has an atomic weight of 48.68 amu. It consists of three isotopes having masses of 47.00 amu, 48.00 amu, a

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer : The percent abundance of the heaviest isotope is, 78 %

Explanation :

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$

As we are given that,

Average atomic mass = 48.68 amu

Mass of heaviest-weight isotope = 49.00 amu

Let the percentage abundance of heaviest-weight isotope = x %

Fractional abundance of heaviest-weight isotope = $\frac{x}{100}$

Mass of lightest-weight isotope = 47.00 amu

Percentage abundance of lightest-weight isotope = 10 %

Fractional abundance of lightest-weight isotope = $\frac{10}{100}$

Mass of middle-weight isotope = 48.00 amu

Percentage abundance of middle-weight isotope = [100 - (x + 10)] % = (90 - x) %

Fractional abundance of middle-weight isotope = $\frac{(90-x)}{100}$

Now put all the given values in above formula, we get:

$48.68=[(47.0\times \frac{10}{100})+(48.0\times \frac{(90-x)}{100})+(49.0\times \frac{x}{100})]$

$x=78\%$

Therefore, the percent abundance of the heaviest isotope is, 78 %

In a chemical equation, changing the subscript in a chemical formula for a substance changes what aspect?

Citrus2011 [14]

The subscript in a chemical formula is the number written next to the element at the bottom part. For example, the chemical formula of water is H₂O. The subscript of H is 2, while the subscript of O is 1. The subscript represents the number of a certain element in one particle of the compound. So, if you change the subscript, you also change the number of a certain element per compound. In other words, you change the ratio.
