Answer:
I believe it is useful as it shows how electrons are distributed in the shells (energy levels) of an iron atom. An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction. It contains the nucleus and the shells (energy levels). the nucleus contains protons and neutrons while the shells contain electrons.
Explanation:
Answer:
The average atomic mass is closer to Si- 28 because this isotope is present in more percentage in the sample.
Explanation:
Given data:
Atomic mass of silicon= ?
Percent abundance of Si-28 = 92.21%
Atomic mass of Si-28 = 27.98 amu
Percent abundance of Si-29 = 4.70%
Atomic mass of Si-29 = 28.98 amu
Percent abundance of Si-30 = 3.09%
Atomic mass of Si-30 = 29.97 amu
Solution:
Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)+(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass) / 100
Average atomic mass = (92.21×27.98)+(4.70×28.98)+(3.09×29.97) /100
Average atomic mass = 2580.04 +136.21+92.61 / 100
Average atomic mass = 2808.86 / 100
Average atomic mass = 28.08amu.
The average atomic mass is closer to Si- 28 because this isotope is present in more percentage in the sample.
Answer:
Atom is a the smallest particle of a chemical element that can exist.
Molecules is a a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.
Particles is a minute portion of matter.
A particle can be a single atom or a molecule ( a group of atoms held together by chemical bonds).
