Always remember that a compound can be separated into simpler substances by chemical methods/reactions. While elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions. You can do a flame test and spectrum analysis to determine whether a solid material is an element or a compound. Check the boiling and/or melting point, color or density. Also check the solid material’s reaction with oxygen, hydrogen, calcium, or various acids. Examine and study its physical chemistry. The element(s) that may be present may be identified by checking the absorption edges from an x-ray spectrum.
Answer: 3) 39.96 amu
Explanation:
Mass of isotope Ar- 36 = 35.97 amu
% abundance of isotope Ar- 36= 0.337% = 
Mass of isotope Ar- 38 = 37.96 amu
% abundance of isotope 2 = 0.063 % = 
Mass of isotope Ar- 40 = 39.96 amu
% abundance of isotope 2 = 99.600 % = 
Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :

![A=\sum[(35.97\times 3.37\times 10^{-3})+(37.96\times 6.3\times 10^{-4})+(39.96\times 0.996)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D%5Csum%5B%2835.97%5Ctimes%203.37%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-3%7D%29%2B%2837.96%5Ctimes%206.3%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-4%7D%29%2B%2839.96%5Ctimes%200.996%29%5D)

Therefore, the average atomic mass of argon is 39.96 amu
10 atoms in total
4 atoms of H
4 atoms of O
2 atoms of Zn
Hope this helps :)
Any element in group 18 has eight valence electrons (except for helium, which has a total of just two electrons). Examples include neon (Ne), argon (Ar), and krypton (Kr). Oxygen, like all the other elements in group 16, has six valence electrons.
