Answer: See attached image
Explanation:
Answer:
Fluorine
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Chemistry</u>
- Reading a Periodic Table
- Periodic Trends
- Electronegativity - the tendency for an element to attract an electron to itself
- Z-effective and Coulomb's Law, Forces of Attraction
Explanation:
The Periodic Trend for Electronegativity is up and to the right of the Periodic Table.
Fluorine is Element 9 and has 9 protons. Radium is Element 88 and has 88 protons. Therefore, Radium has a bigger Zeff than Flourine.
However, since Radium is in Period 7 while Fluorine is in Period 2, Radium has more core e⁻ than Fluorine does. This will create a much larger shielding effect, causing Radium's outermost e⁻ to have less FOA between them. Fluorine, since it has less core e⁻, the FOA between the nucleus and outershell e⁻ will be much stronger.
Therefore, Fluorine would attract an electron more than Radium, thus bringing us to the conclusion that Fluorine has a higher electronegativity.
Like in general, or is there something u didn't put?<span />
Answer:
78.85
Explanation:
To <u>calculate the average atomic mass of the isotopes </u>we use the <em>given masses and abundances</em>, as follows:
- Mass of Isotope 1 * Abundance of Isotope 1 + Mass of Isotope 2 * Abundance of Isotope 2 + ....
In other words:
- 78 amu * 75/100 + 81 amu * 15/100 + 82 amu * 10/100 = 78.85
So the answer is 78.85.
