Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
From the given data, the corresponding elements and the number of each nucleons has to be found.
Concept introduction:
The smallest constituent of matter is atom. Each atom consist of subatomic particles called electrons, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present in the nucleus and called nucleons. A group of atoms having same number of protons are called as an element.

- The element europium exists in nature as two isotopes: 151Eu has a mass of 150.9196 u and 153Eu has a mass of 152.9209 u. The average atomic mass of europium is 151.96 u. Calculate the relative abundance of the two europium isotopes.arrow_forwardThe element rhenium (Re) bas two naturally occurring isotopes, 185Re and 187Re, with an average atomic mass of 186.207 u. Rhenium is 62.60% 187Re, and the atomic mass of 187Re is 186.956 u. Calculate the mass of 185Re.arrow_forwardThere are 2.619 1022 atoms in 1.000 g of sodium. Assume that sodium atoms are spheres of radius 1.86 and that they are lined up side by side. How many miles in length is the line of sodium atoms?arrow_forward
- Define the term atomic weight. Why might the values of atomic weights on a planet elsewhere in the universe be different from those on earth?arrow_forwardWhen a sample of phosphorus burns in air, the compound P4O10 forms. One experiment showed that 0.744 g of phosphorus formed 1.704 g of P4O10. Use this information to determine the ratio of the atomic weights of phosphorus and oxygen (mass P/mass O). If the atomic weight of oxygen is assumed to be 16.000, calculate the atomic weight of phosphorus.arrow_forwardGive the complete symbol(ZAX), including atomic number and mass number, of (a) a nickel atom with 31 neutrons, (b) a plutonium atom with 150 neutrons, and (c) a tungsten atom with 110 neutrons.arrow_forward
