<u>Answer:</u> The average atomic mass of lithium is 6.9241 u.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.
Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:
....(1)
- <u>For isotope:</u>
Mass of isotope = 6 u
Percentage abundance of isotope = 7.59 %
Fractional abundance of isotope = 0.0759
- <u>For isotope:</u>
Mass of isotope = 7 u
Percentage abundance of isotope = 92.41%
Fractional abundance of isotope = 0.9241
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
Hence, the average atomic mass of lithium is 6.9241 u.
The number of protons in an uncharged atom equals the number of electrons.
The noble gases are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, radon, and ununoctium. The noble gases are relatively nonreactive. This is because they have a completevalence shell<span>. They have little tendency to </span>gain<span> or lose </span>electrons. <span>These gases all have similar properties under standard conditions: they are all odorless, colorless, monatomic gases with very low chemical </span>reactivity<span>. The six noble gases that occur naturally are helium (He), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe), and Radon (Rn).</span>
Sulfur has the coefficient of 2, and nothing else. This indicates Sulfur has 2 atoms.
<span>Oxygen on the other hand, has a subscript of 2, as well as the coefficient of 2. Multiplying those, and you see Oxygen has 4 atoms.
</span>
So your answer is 2
Also remember there is a 2 in front of S meaning there are 2 Sulfurs.
<span>If it was S02 it would be 1 Sulfur as there is no number in front of sulfer. </span>
<span>Remember the number in front of a element, represents how many atoms there are :)</span>
Answer:
K will give up an electron more easily than Br.
Explanation:
Electronegativity of an element is a property that combines the ability of its atom to lose and gain electrons.
The lower the electronegativity value, the more electropositive an element is and the more readily it loses electrons.
From the data given, we see that Br has an E.N value of 3.0 and K has an E.N value of 0.82.
Therefore, Br is highly electronegative and it is able to attract electrons to itself whereas K has a low E.N value. K will give up electrons more readily.
Lookinf at other information in the table, the larger atomic radius and lower ionizaton energy of K are all pointers to how readily it would be able to lose electrons.
We can conclude that K is even a metal.
