Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The main group elements and the transition metal groups has to be found from the periodic table.
Concept introduction:
Element that means a fundamental substance that can’t be chemically changed or broken into anything simpler is called elements.
The periodic table: Each element is identified through a one- or two-letter symbol and it is characterized by an
The six on the right is known as main group’s elements. The ten in the middle is known as

General Chemistry: Atoms First
- The natural abundances and isotopic masses of the element neon (Ne) are Calculate the atomic mass of naturally occurring neon.arrow_forward2.41 How does the periodic table help to make the study of chemistry more systematic?arrow_forwardDefine mass number. What is the difference between mass number and atomic mass?arrow_forward
- How would you expect the chemical properties of isotopes of the same element to compare to each other? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardWhat defines an element? How many naturally occurring elements exist?arrow_forwardDefine the term atomic weight. Why might the values of atomic weights on a planet elsewhere in the universe be different from those on earth?arrow_forward
- See the definition for isobars in Question 15. Consider Cr-54, Fe-54, Fess, and Ni-S8. (a) Which of these are isobars? Which are isotopes? (b) What do Fe-S4 and Fe-58 have in common? (c) Which atoms have the same number of neutrons?arrow_forwardXenon An isotope of xenon has an atomic number of 54 and contains 77 neutrons. What is the xenon isotope’s mass number?arrow_forwardGive two examples of each: a. alkali metal b. alkaline earth metal c. halogen d. noble gas e. metal f. nonmetal g. transition metal h. metalloidarrow_forward
- Which of the following are isotopes of element X, the atomic number for which is 9: 919X, 920X, 189X, and 921X?arrow_forwardAtoms are electrically neutral. This means that an atom will contain a.more protons than neutrons. b.more electrons than protons. c.an equal number of protons and electrons. d.None of the above.arrow_forward2.46 Why are nonmetals important even though they account for only a very small fraction of the elements in the periodic table?arrow_forward
