What does matter mean?
Object which has mass and occupies space
What does atom mean?
The smallest particle of a chemical element which is made mainly by 3 sub-atomic particles called Protons,Electrons and Neutrons.
What does molecule mean?
A small group of atoms bonded together.
Answer:
<h3>
Merits of modern periodic table:</h3>
- The wrong position of some elements like argon, potassium, cobalt and nickel due to atomic weights have been solved by arranging the elements in the order of increasing atomic number without changing their own places.
- The isotopes of some element have the same atomic numbers. Therefore, they find the same position in periodic table.
- It separates metals from non-metals.
- The groups of the table are divided into sub groups A and B due to their dissimilar properties which make the study of elements specific and easier.
- The representative and transition elements have been separated.

Good luck on your assignment...
1) Calcium carbonate contains 40.0% calcium by weight.
M(CaCO₃)=100.1 g/mol
M(Ca)=40.1 g/mol
w(Ca)=40.1/100.1=0.400 (40.0%)!
2) Mass fraction of this is excessive data.
3) The solution is:
m(Ca)=1.2 g
m(CaCO₃)=M(CaCO₃)*m(Ca)/M(Ca)
m(CaCO₃)=100.1g/mol*1.2g/40.1g/mol=3.0 g
Answer:
transmutation, conversion of one chemical element into another. A transmutation entails a change in the structure of atomic nuclei and hence may be induced by a nuclear reaction (q.v.), such as neutron capture, or occur spontaneously by radioactive decay, such as alpha decay and beta decay .
