Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The chemical family of krypton
Concept introduction:
Elements with the same chemical properties are found in the same group or vertical column. Some of the group of elements are known as chemical families.
Family trends are mostly found among the main group elements. For example, noble gases, halogens, and alkali metals.
(b)
Interpretation:
The chemical family of beryllium is to be identified.

- Arrange the following in the order of increasing mass. (a) a potassium ion, K+ (b) a phosphorus molecule, P4 (c) a potassium atom (d) a platinum atomarrow_forward2-69 (Chemical Connections 2A) Why does the body need sulfur, calcium, and iron?arrow_forward2-102 An element consists of 90.51% of an isotope with a mass of 19.992 amu, 0.27% of an isotope with a mass of 20.994 amu, and 9.22% of an isotope with a mass of 21.990 amu. Calculate the average atomic mass and identify the element.arrow_forward

From what does it derive its name?arrow_forwardWhat would be your reaction to a claim that a new element had been discovered, and it fit between tin (Sn) and antimony (Sb) in the periodic table?arrow_forwardWhich groups in the periodic table contain metals, nonmetals, and metalloids?arrow_forward
- Consider the atoms 16O, 18O, 18F,18Ne, and 20Ne. Some of the following questions may havemore than one answer. Give all answers that apply. a. Which are isotopes? b. Which are isobars? c. Which have the same chemical properties? d. Which have the same number of neutrons? e. Which atoms have the same number of valence electrons? f. Rank in order, from largest to smallest, the radii of the nuclei of these atoms.arrow_forwardThere are two isotopes of the element lithium that occur naturally, 6Li (mass = 6.015 amu) and 7Li (mass = 7.016 amu). Given that the average atomic mass of lithium is 6.941 amu, what are the fractional abundances of the lithium isotopes?arrow_forwardThe symbol and atomic number of the lightest metalloid in Group 4A are:arrow_forward

(atomic mass = 266) b) Atoms of Sg are very unstable, and it is therefore difficult to study this element's properties. Based on the position of Sg in the periodic table, what element should it most closely resemble in its chemical properties?arrow_forward
