Why does atomic radii decrease as you move from the left to right across the period

2 answers:

When we move from left to right across the periodic table, we can see that the atomic radii keeps decreasing. This is because, as you move from left to right, the nucleus gains protons. The atomic number increases and hence the valence electron will feel more attracted towards the nucleus & the atomic radii will decrease.

Answer:

This is because, within a period or family of elements, all electrons are added to the same shell.

Unknown element has two isotopes. Isotope A has a mass of 34 amu and abundance of 52%, isotope B has a mass of 33 amu and abunda

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

x = 33.52 amu

Explanation:

It is given that,

Isotope A has a mass of 34 amu and an abundance of 52%, isotope B has a mass of 33 amu and an abundance of 48%.

Let x is the average atomic mass of this element. It can be calculated as follows :

$x=52\%\ \text{of}\ 34+48\%\ \text{of}\ 33\\\\x=\dfrac{52}{100}\times 34+\dfrac{48}{100}\times 33\\\\x=0.52\times 34+0.48\times 33\\\\x=33.52\ \text{amu}$

So, the average atomic mass of this element is 33.52 amu.
