Why are the elements on the periodic table not arranged by mass?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Aleksandr-060686 [28]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A. Similar elements have such different masses that this would lead to a completely random arrangement of elements.

Explanation:

Because it is the number of protons, which is identical to the atomic number, that separates different elements from each other, not the atomic mass.

How does the mass per nucleon of an element change as the atomic number increases?
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Explanation: So, the atomic number is the number of protons present in an atom. For example, Helium's atomic number is 2, meaning it only has 2 protons. In most cases, the number of nuetrons and protons are equal, so Helium (usually) has 2 protons and 2 nuetrons - this is the nucleus. The atomic mass, or mass per nucleon is the proton and nuetron added together, so the atomic mass of Helium is about 4. Therefore, on the periodic table, as the atomic number increases by 1, the atomic mass increases by about 2 (the atomic mass is an average so it's not exact).

What is the naming process of alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes
Tanzania [10]

Answer: Heyo Kenji Here! Here's your answer- Higher alkenes and alkynes are named by counting the number of carbons in the longest continuous chain that includes the double or triple bond and appending an -ene (alkene) or -yne (alkyne) suffix to the stem name of the unbranched alkane having that number of carbons.

Explanation: Hope this helps!

Have a nice day!

- Kenji ^^

By reacting, an element that does not have a complete set of valence electrons can acquire an electron configuration similar to
LenaWriter [7]
A noble gas is different from other elements because <u>they are the most stable elements that can have the maximum number of valence electrons on their outer shells.</u> This characteristic allows the noble gases to rarely react with other elements, unlike all the other elements found within the periodic table. Nobel gases are found in the group 18 of the periodic table and these are Argon, Neon, Krypton, Xenon, Organesson, Helium, and Radon.
