(a)
Interpretation:
The number of protons for the isotopes of oxygen that has mass numbers 16, 17 and 18 should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The number of protons indicates the
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of neutrons for the isotopes of oxygen that has mass numbers 16, 17 and 18 should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The number of neutrons along with number of protons indicates the mass number. The neutrons are neutrally charged particles and do not contribute to the charge of the atom on whole.
(c)
Interpretation:
The number of electrons for the isotopes of oxygen that has mass numbers as 16, 17 and 18 in its neutral state should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus. But it is also known that number of electrons is equal to the number of protons to keep the atom neutral.
(d)
Interpretation:
The group number for the isotopes of oxygen that has mass numbers 16, 17 and 18 should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The group number is indicated by the atomic number of the element. Atomic number is influenced by the number of protons in the nucleus.
(e)
Interpretation:
The symbol of the isotopes of oxygen that has mass numbers 16, 17 and 18 should be determined with its subscripts and superscripts.
Concept Introduction:
The isotope of any element is indicated by its atomic number and mass number. Both the numbers are displayed along with the element. The mass number is displayed as superscript while the atomic number is displayed as subscript as shown:

- What is the name of the element in Group 4A and Period 5?arrow_forward2.84 Early attempts to arrange the elements often focused on atomic weight. Mendeleev considered a number of properties in addition to atomic weight, so he realized that some elements seemed out of place when ordered by atomic weight. Using the modern periodic table, identify elements for which Mendeleev must have had to switch the order in order to get the correct sequence of elements.arrow_forwardMass spectrometric analysis showed that there are four isotopes of an unknown element having the following masses and abundances: Three elements in the periodic table that have atomic weights near these values are lanthanum (La), atomic number 57, atomic weight 138.9055; cerium (Ce), atomic number 58, atomic weight 140.115; and praseodymium (Pr), atomic number 59, atomic weight 140.9076. Using the data above, calculate the atomic weight, and identify the element if possible.arrow_forward
