- 2-59 You are presented with a Lewis dot structure of element X as X.. To which two groups in the Periodic Table might this element belong?arrow_forward2-98 Explain how the ionization energy of atoms changes when proceeding down a group of the Periodic Table and explain why this change occurs.arrow_forward2-67 Account for the fact that the first ionization energy of oxygen is less than that of nitrogen.arrow_forward
- 2-89 Assume that a new element has been discovered with atomic number 117. Its chemical properties should be similar to those of astatine (At). Predict whether the new element’s ionization energy will be greater than, the same as, or smaller than that of: (a)At (b)Raarrow_forward2-43 Which group(s) of the Periodic Table contain(s): (a) Only metals? (b) Only metalloids? (c) Only nonmetals?arrow_forward2-99 A 7.12 g sample of magnesium is heated with 1.80 g of bromine. All the bromine is used up, and 2.07 g of magnesium bromide is produced. What mass of magnesium remains unreacted?arrow_forward
- 2-51 What is the correlation between the group number of the main-group elements (those in the A columns of the Mendeleyev system) and the number of valence electrons in an element in the group?arrow_forward2-64 Consider the elements B, C, and N. Using only the Periodic Table, predict which of these three elements has: (a) the largest atomic radius. (b) the smallest atomic radius. (c) the largest ionization energy (d) the smallest ionization energyarrow_forward2-44 Which period(s) in the Periodic Table contain(s) more nonmetals than metals? Which contain(s) more metals than nonmetals?arrow_forward
- 2-104 The average atomic weight of lithium is 6.941 amu. The two naturally occurring isotopes of lithium have the following masses: 6Li, 6.01512 amu; 7Li, 7.01600 amu. Calculate the percent abundance of 6Li and 7Li in naturally occurring lithium.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_forward2-23 It has been said, “The number of protons determines the identity of the element.” Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Explain.arrow_forward
