Answer to Problem 1CE
The elements are arranged according to increasing atomic number in a periodic table.
Explanation of Solution
According to Moseley, it was better to define elements on the basis of nuclear charge rather than

- The atomic weight of aluminum is 26.98u and the atomic weight of nickel is 58.69u. All aluminum atoms have a mass of 26.98u, but not a single atom of nickel has a mass of 58.69u. Explain.arrow_forwardIsotopic data for boron allow the calculation of its atomic mass to the number of significant figures justified by the measurement process. One analysis showed that 19.78 of boron atoms have an atomic mass of 10.0129u, and the remaining atoms have an atomic mass of 11.00931u. Find the average mass in as many significant figures as those data will allow.arrow_forwardIn the first 36 elements, 6 elements have atoms whose average mass is within 0.2u of being twice the atomic number of the element. Write the symbols and names for these 6 elements.arrow_forward
- The elements of Group 7 (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine) consist of molecules containing atom(s).arrow_forwardWrite the symbol of each atom using the ZAX format.arrow_forwardThe mass of an average atom of a certain element is 6.66 times as great as the mass of an atom of carbon 12. Using either the periodic table or the table of elements, identify the element.arrow_forward
- The element lanthanum has two stable isotopes, lanthanum 138 with an atomic mass of 137.9071u and, lanthanum 139 with an atomic mass of 138.9063u. From atomic mass of La, 138.9u what conclusion can you make about the relative percentage abundance of the isotopes?arrow_forwardCopper is composed of two naturally occurring isotopes: Cu-63 with a mass of 62.94amuandCu-65 with a mass of 64.93amu. Look up the atomic mass of copper and determine which of the two isotopes is more abundant. a.Cu-63ismoreabundant.b.Cu-65ismoreabundant.c.Bothisotopesareequallyabundant.arrow_forward
