Question
Chapter 2, Problem 164SCQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: For the given plot of relative abundance of element versus their atomic number, the relationship between relative abundance and atomic number and the difference in relative abundance of even and odd
Concept introduction:
- There is a general decline in abundance in increasing atomic numbers of first 30 elements of periodic table.
- The relative abundance of even atomic numbers is generally higher as compared adjacent odd atomic numbers, but it is exception for hydrogen and boron.
