- How does probability fit into the description of the atom?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_forwardFor each of the following processes, does the potential energyof the object(s) increase or decrease? (a) The distancebetween two oppositely charged particles is increased.(b) Water is pumped from ground level to the reservoir of awater tower 30 m above the ground. (c) The bond in a chlorinemolecule, Cl2, is broken to form two chlorine atoms.arrow_forward
- a. How many neutrons are in K-41?b. Write the electron configuration for potassium.c. Which is the larger atom, K or Cs?d. Which is the smallest atom, K, As, or Br?e. If John’s potato farm has an area of 34.5 hectares, how many pounds of fertilizer does John need to use?arrow_forwardThe first 25 years of the twentieth century were momentousfor the rapid pace of change in scientists’ understandingof the nature of matter. (a) How did Rutherford’sexperiments on the scattering of a particles by a gold foilset the stage for Bohr’s theory of the hydrogen atom?(b) In what ways is de Broglie’s hypothesis, as it applies toelectrons, consistent with J. J. Thomson’s conclusion thatthe electron has mass? In what sense is it consistent withproposals preceding Thomson’s work that the cathode raysare a wave phenomenon?arrow_forward2. (a) What do you understand by the statement: "the energy of the electrons in an atom is quantized"? (b) Why did Rutherford select alpha particles in his gold foil experiment? Briefly explain your answer in own words.arrow_forward
- Write the nuclear symbols of the three isotopes of an element with an atomicnumber of 8 in which there are 8, 9, and 10 neutrons, respectively.arrow_forwardUsing complete subshell notation (1s22s22p6, and so forth), predict the electron configuration of each of the following atoms:(a) N(b) Si(c) Fe(d) Te(e) Tbarrow_forwarda ) Eva l u a te t h e expre s s i o n s 2 x 1, 2 x (1 + 3),2 x(1 + 3 + 5), and 2 x (1 + 3 + 5 + 7). (b) How do the atomic numbers of the noble gases relate to the numbersfrom part (a)? (c) What topic discussed is thesource of the number “2” in the expressions in part (a)?arrow_forward
- A rough estimate of the radius of a nucleus is provided by the formula r 5 kA1/3, where k is approximately 1.3 × 10-13 cm and A is the mass number of the nucleus. Estimate the density of the nucleus of 127I (which has anuclear mass of 2.1 × 10-22 g) in grams per cubic centimeter. Compare with the density of solid iodine, 4.93 g cm-3.arrow_forwardIn the equation used to determine the energy of the particles described in question (11), E = hc/λ, what is c?arrow_forwardThe element antimony (Sb) has an atomic mass of 121.76 amu. Two naturally occurring isotopes of antimony are 121Sb (57% abundant) and 123Sb (43% abundant). In a sample of 100 Sb atoms, what is the probability that a single selected atom has a mass of 121.76 amu. 0% 43% 57% 100% not possible to determinearrow_forward
