Interpretation: The reason for one mole of carbon to have a smaller mass as compared to one mole of sulfur needs to be explained. Also, the reason for the different atomic structures of these elements needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction: For any one mole of a substance, its mass is equal to the molar mass of the compound/molecule of the substance. Here, in 1 mol of all the substances, there are
Explanation of Solution
In the periodic table, carbon and sulfur belong to different group numbers; thus, they belong to a different family. The number of atoms of carbon and sulfur is the same in 1 mol as it is according to
The atomic structure of carbon and sulfur is different because they have different
The atomic number or number of electrons in carbon and sulfur atoms is 6 and 16 respectively. Since the number of electrons in sulfur is greater than in carbon, it has a bigger size as compared to carbon and both have different atomic structures.
