(a)
Interpretation:
The radio isotope element should be identified which is used for the cancer treatment.
Concept Introduction:
Isotopes: Elements have same
(b)
Interpretation:
The greatest density of the element should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Density:
The nuclear density can be calculated from the size of the nucleus. The nucleus density is based on the number of protons and neutrons.
(c)
Interpretation:
The element should be identified which is not found in nature.
Concept Introduction:
The first 92 elements occur naturally, Technetium (atomic number 43) and promethium (atomic number 61) were synthesized by chemist before identified in nature.

- Iodine has 37 known isotopes. Therefore, the atomic mass has a range of 108-144 amu. Which of the following statements concerning iodine is correct? A) The isotopes of iodine have between 55 and 91 protons. B) An atom of iodine can have between 55 and 91 neutrons. C) The isotopes of iodine will always have the same number of neutrons, but the protons can vary. D) The isotopes of iodine have between 108 and 144 neutrons, but the number of protons will not vary.arrow_forwardAccording to chemist John Dalton, if one mole of nitrogen is combined with three moles of hydrogen to form one mole of ammonia (knowing that nitrogen, with an atomic number of 7, has an atomic mass of 14, and hydrogen, with an atomic number of 1, has an atomic mass of 1), then this compound will have an atomic weight (or molecular mass) of: 14 grams per mole (14 daltons) 17 grams per mole (17 daltons) 20 grams per mole (20 daltons) 22 grams per mole (22 daltons) 43 grams per mole (43 daltons)arrow_forwardArrange the elements Na, Si, and S in the order of(a) decreasing atomic radius.(h)increasing first ionization energy.arrow_forward
- a) Identify the following as element (atomic or molecular), compound or mixture. b) Explain your reasoning and draw a sample of these substances containing 5 particles of that particular material. c) What would be the mass of 5 particles of that particular material?

From this information, we can conclude what? Select only ONE answer choice. Note: - means "approximately equal to" , A > B means "A is greater than B" , and A B: AB2 is hydrophilic Not enough information to answer the questionarrow_forwardChlorine is an element with the symbol Cl.

- For Be-10, find the: a.) mase defect (in grams) b.) binding energy in kilojoules per mole. mass proton= 1.00728 amu; mass neutron= 1.00867 amu; mass Be-10 = 10.013534679 amuarrow_forwardNitrogen’s atomic number is 7. Just from the atomic number, can you determine how many protons, neutrons, and electrons a nitrogen atom has and how many electrons are in its first and second electron shells? (Assume the atom is electrically neutral.)arrow_forwardThe atomic mass of an element can be used to determine A) the chemical properties of the element B) the number of protons in the element C) the number of neutrons in the element D) the number of protons plus neutrons in the element E) both the number of protons and the chemical properties of the elementarrow_forward
- . Give the name of and symbol for an element with this number of valence electrons.a) 2b) 6c) 8arrow_forwardElements have varying numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons.True or false?arrow_forwardWhat if there are a different number of Neutrons? Sometimes elements have a different number of neutrons than usual, so therefore have a different atomic mass. This is what we call an Isotope (a variant form of an element which has the same number of protons but a differing number of neutrons). Sometimes we’ll see Isotopes labeled with their new mass like this: 14C = this is Carbon 14. Notice it has a different mass than what is on your periodic table The average mass of all the isotopes is defined as an element’s Atomic Weight. Can you answer questions about these Isotopes?
