Answer:

Bohr diagram shows electrons orbiting the nucleus. Nitrogen has 7 electrons orbiting the nucleus

Lewis structure is the simplified Bohr diagram. It only shows the electrons in the outer shell. For Nitrogen, 2 electrons are in the first shell. The remaining 5 electrons are in the outer shell.

Answer:

$\% Cu=45.2\%\\\\\% Zn=53.6\%\\\\\% Pb=1.2\%$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, given the masses of copper, zinc and lead, it is possible to compute the moles via their atomic masses first:

$n_{Cu}=\frac{91.0gCu}{63.55g/mol}=1.432mol\\\\ n_{Zn}=\frac{111gZn}{65.41g/mol}=1.697mol\\\\n_{Pb}=\frac{7.51gPb}{207.2g/mol}=0.0362mol\\$

Now, we compute the atomic percentages as shown below:

$\% Cu=\frac{1.432}{1.432+1.697+0.0362}*100\% =45.2\%\\\\\% Zn=\frac{1.697}{1.432+1.697+0.0362}*100\%=53.6\%\\\\\% Pb=\frac{0.0362}{1.432+1.697+0.0362}*100\%=1.2\%$

Best regards!
