So what we know:
-Atomic Mass = Protons + Neutrons
-Atomic Number is the number of protons
Magnesium's atomic number is 12, so the natural occurring isotope for magnesium is Mg-12 (12 protons and 12 neutrons). Added up we have an atomic mass of 24 amu. Which means if we added one neutron in Mg-13, our atomic mass would be 25 amu.
We can use the equation:
(amu of isotope 1)x + (amu of isotop 2)(x-1) = Average atomic mass
where isotope 1 is the fractional abundance we're solving for.
Plugged in it looks like this:
24x + 25(1-x) = 24.3
Now to solve for x:
24x + 25 - 25x = 24.3
-x + 25 = 24.3
-x = -.7
x = .7
So in this case, the fractional abundance of Mg-12 would be .7, or 70%.<span />
The correct answer is : a. Salt water
Answer:
According to Hund's rule and the Aufbau principle in which the orbitals must be filled with electrons, they are not strictly applied in the real universe, because the intermediate and electron-filled atomic orbitals are very stable . Because there are four d-orbitals in universe L, a typical half-full configuration will be xd4 and its full configuration will be xd8, where x is the primary orbital for any specific element. Here is an example:
Vahadium ₂₃V
in real universe: [Ar]₈ 3d³4s²
in universe L: [Ar]₁₈ 3d⁴4s¹
Chromium
in real universe: [Ar]₈ 3d⁵4s¹
in universe L: [Ar]₁₈ 3d⁴4s²
