x21 +ANSWER
(i) Ne-22
(ii)1s2s22p6
(iii)21.3
An element X exists in three forms A, B and C in the ratio 1:2:3. If C has 10 protons and the number of neutrons in A, B and C are 10, 11 and 12 respectively,Give the following:(i) Representation of form C of the element X(ii) Electronic configuration of form B of the element(iii) Calculate the average atomic mass.
(i)C has 10 protons and 12 neutrons so a mass of 10 +12 =22
element 10 is Neon (Ne) so this isotope is Ne-22
(ii) they all have the sane atomic number so the same number of electrons
with an electronic structure of 1s2s22p6
(iii) A weighs 20, B weighs 21, C weighs 22
the ratio is 1:2:3
weighted average weight is therefor
(1X20 +2X21 +3X22)/6 =21.3
Atomic elements consist of a nucleus that contains protons and neutrons. Protons carry a positive charge whilst neutrons are electrically neutral. In light elements with an atomic number less than 20, the neutron to proton ratio is generally equal to 1:1. This changes for heavier elements since the Coulomb interaction between many protons gets stronger and demands more neutrons for the nucleus to remain stable.
Answer:
The answer is C I think..
