The element antimony has two stable isotopes, antimony-121 with a mass of 120.90 amu and antimony-123 with a mass of 122.90 amu.

From the atomic weight of Sb = 121.76 one can conclude that: ________
antimony-123 has the highest percent natural abundance
most antimony atoms have a mass of 121.76 amu
antimony-121 has the highest percent natural abundance
both isotopes have the same percent natural abundance

Answer:

antimony-121 has the highest percent natural abundance

Explanation:

percent natural abundance;

121.76 = 120.90 x + 122.90 (1 - x)

121.76 = 120.90 x + 122.90 - 122.90x

121.76 = -2x + 122.90

121.76 - 122.90 = -2x

x= 121.76 - 122.90/ -2

x= 0.57

Where x and 1 - x refers to the relative abundance of each of the isotopes

Percent natural abundance of antimony-121 = 57 %

Percent natural abundance of antimony-123 = (1 - 0.57) = 43%

Let us remember that isotopy refers to a phenomenon in which atoms of the same element have the same atomic number but different mass numbers. This results from differences in the number of neutrons in atoms of the same element.

We can clearly see that antimony-121 has the highest percent natural abundance.

Which statement best describes the kinetic molecular
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

A. The kinetic molecular theory relates the properties of a state of matter to the motion of  its molecules.

Explanation:

The higher the kinetic energy of the molecules, the faster its movement will be. The state of a matter will depend on how fast the molecules move. When the molecules barely move, it will be packed tightly and its state will be solid. If the molecules kinetic energy rises, eventually they start moving around and the state will be liquid. If the kinetic energy rises further, the molecule will expand and changed into gas form.

Atoms form chemical bonds to satisfy the rule and to become .
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer: Atoms form chemical bonds to satisfy the<u> Octet</u> rule and to become <u>stable.</u>

Explanation:

The tendency of atoms to attempt to get a noble gas configuration that is eight valence electrons is said to be octet rule.  This is done to attain noble gas configuration and stability.

In order to attain stability the atoms tends to have eight electrons in its valence shell which can be obtained by either by sharing of electrons or complete transfer of electrons.

For example : As we know that the sodium has one valence electron, so if giving it up then the result in the same electron configuration as the neon and chlorine has seven valence electrons, so if it takes one it will have eight and the result in the same electronic configuration as the argon which is stable.

using the following equation:Fe2O3 +3H2---------&gt;2Fe +3H2O. calculate how many grams of iron from 16.5 grams of Fe2O3 by the
Natali5045456 [20]
No of moles of fe2o3 = 16.5/(55.8x2+16x3)=0.103mols
No. Of moles of iron= 0.103 x 2 = 0.206mols
Mass of iron = 0.206 x 55.8 = 11.5g
