Boron has two isotopes, Boron 10 which has a mass of 10.0129 amu and Boron-11 with a mass of 11.0093 amu. B-10 occurs 84.74% of

the time and 11 occurs 15.26% of the time. What is the average atomic mass of boron?

The average atomic mass of Boron: 10.431 amu

<h3>Further explanation   </h3>

Isotopes are atoms whose no-atom has the same number of protons while still having a different number of neutrons.  

So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)  

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes  

In determining the mass of an atom, as a standard is the mass of 1 carbon-12 atom whose mass is 12 amu  

Mass atom X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.%  + ...

The average atomic mass of boron :

\tt avg~mass=0.8474\times 10.0129+0.1526\times 11.0093\\\\avg~mass=10.431~amu

A. Describe the molecule chlorine dioxide, CIO in terms of three possible resonance structures.
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The compound ClO2 has 19 valence electrons.  ClO2 is a bent molecule with tetrahedral electron pair geometry but has two  lone pairs of electrons. This is indicated by the presence of four electron pairs on the outermost shell of the central atom.

The molecule has an odd number of valence electrons, hence, it is generally regarded as a paramagnetic radical. None of the proposed Lewis structures for the molecule is satisfactory because none of them obeys the octet rule.

From the images attached, one can easily see that the electron dots around the oxygen and chlorine atoms does not satisfy the octet rule in all the resonance structures shown.

What does the space-filling model of a water molecule tell you about the relative size of the atoms?
faltersainse [42]
Space -filling models are also known as Calotte models. These are 3 dimensional models that depict the spatial relationships between atoms.
The space-filling model of water molecule shows the 3 D structure of the water molecule. This model CLEARLY REVEALS THE OXYGEN ATOM WHICH IS LOCATED CENTRALLY WITH TWO HYDROGEN ATOMS IN THE ADJACENT SIDES. THE MODEL ALSO SUGGESTS HOW THE WATER MOLECULES ATTRACT EACH OTHER.

An oxygen atom has a mass of 2.66*10^-23 and a glass of water has a mass of 0.050 kg. What is the mass of 1 mole of oxygen atoms
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

16.0 g; 3.1 mol

Explanation:

(a) Mass of O atoms

Mass = 6.022 × 10^23 atoms × (2.66 × 10^-23 g/1 atom) = 16.0 g

(b) Moles of O atoms

0.050 kg = 50 g

Moles = 50 g × (1 mol/16.0 g) = 3.1 mol
