An element has two naturally occuring isotopes. Isotpe 1 has a mass of 120.9038 amu and a relative abundance of 57.4% and isotope 2 has a mass of 122.9042 amu. By comparison to the periodic table, identify this element. (write the symbol not the name)
Diane, Timothy and Ira were having a discussion about isotopes and the tendency to react. Which do you suggest offers the best explanation? Diane felt that isotopes would react the same as the atoms of the same element since they had the same number of valence electrons. Timothy suggested that they would react the same since the isotope and the atom of the same element would have the same number of total electrons. Ira said that the isotopes would react different since the number of neutrons would vary and therefore the atomic mass of the isotopes versus the atom of the same element would be different.
Scientists in Huntsville just discovered a new element in Charger Village that they have called Pizzaium (Pz). There are two isotopes for this element. The first isotope has a mass of 546.7 amu and an abundance of 24.86%. The remainder of the element is accounted for by isotope 2 with a mass of 550. Given this information about the two isotopes, calculate the atomic mass for this element to four significant figures. If the last digit is a zero, Canvas will not take it, so leave it off.
