The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Which is true of Elements on a periodic table in the same group (family)?

A; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of electron shells.

B; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.

C; Elements in the same family have few similar properties as they have different numbers of electron shells.

D; Elements in the same family are always the same type of Elements and have the same number of protons.

Answer: B; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.

Explanation:

Elements are distributed in groups and periods in a periodic table.

Elements that belong to same groups will show similar chemical properties because they have same number of valence electrons. The chemical reactivity of elements is governed by the valence electrons present in the element.

Example: Flourine, chlorine and bromine are elements which belong to Group 17. They have 9, 17 and 35 electrons respectively and contain 7 valence electrons each and need one electron to complete their octet.

What is the volume of 1.9 moles of chlorine gas (Cl2) at standard temperature and pressure (STP)?

masya89 [10]

Considering ideal gas behavior, the volume of 1 mol of gas at STP is 22.4 L; then the volume occupied by 1.9 moles is 1.9mol*22.4L/mol = 42. 6 L.

Answer: 43 L

Naturally occurring element X exists in three isotopic forms: X-28 (27.979 amu, 92.21% abundance), X-29 (28.976 amu 4.70% abunda

bezimeni [28]

Answer: The average atomic mass of X is 28.09 amu

Explanation:

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$ .....(1)

For isotope 1:

Mass of isotope 1 = 27.979 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 92.21 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.9212

For isotope 2:

Mass of isotope 2 = 28.976 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = 4.70 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.0470

For isotope 3:

Mass of isotope 3 = 29.974 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 3 = 3.09 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 3 = 0.0309

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Average atomic mass of X}=[(27.979\times 0.9212)+(28.976\times 0.0470)+(29.974\times 0.0309)]$

$\text{Average atomic mass of X}=28.09amu$

Hence, the average atomic mass of X is 28.09 amu

The atom in a sample of an element must contain nuclei with the same number of?

slava [35]

Hey there!

Answer: Protons

The atom in a sample of an element must contain nuclei with the same number of protons. If the protons change in number, then the element will modify as well.

Thank you!
