- Scientists are trying to synthesize elements with more than 114 protons. State the expected atomic number of (a) the newest inert gas. (b) the new element with properties similar to those of the alkaline earth metals. (c) the new element that will behave like the halogens. (d) the new (nontransition) metal whose ion will have a +2 charge. (e) the new element that will start period 8.arrow_forwardWhat is meant by anuclear atom? Describe the points of Ruth erford’s model for the nuclear atom and how he tested this model. Based on his experiments, how did Rutherford envision the structure of the atom? How did Rutherford’s model of the atom’s structure differ from Kelvin’s “plum pudding” model?arrow_forwardFor each of the following sets of elements, label each as either noble gases, halogens, alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, or transition metals. a. Ti, Fe, Ag b. Mg, Sr, Ba c. Li, K., Rb d. Ne, Kr, Xe e. F, Br, Iarrow_forward
- Classify the following as metals, nonmetals, or metalloids: a.argon b.element 3 c.Ge d.boron e.Pmarrow_forwardBased on periodic table position, select the two elements in each set of elements that would be expected to have similar chemical properties. a. 19K, 29Cu, 37Rb, 41Nb b. 13Al, 14Si, 15P, 33As c. 9F, 40Zr, 50Sn, 53I d. 11Na, 12Mg, 54Xe, 55Csarrow_forwardThe contributions of J. J. Thomson and Ernest Rutherford led the way to todays understanding of the structure of the atom. What were their contributions?arrow_forward
- The electron configuration of the isotope 16O is 1s22s22p4. What is the electron configuration of the isotope 18O?arrow_forwardThe brilliance with which magnesium burns makes it ideal for use in marine flares and fireworks. Compare the mass of magnesium that burns with the mass of magnesium in the magnesium oxide ash that forms. Explain this in terms of atomic theory. The white light in fireworks can result from burning magnesium.arrow_forwardWhich ion with a +1 charge has the electron configuration 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p6? Which ion with a —2 charge has this configuration?arrow_forward
- Predict and test the behavior of a particles fired at a Rutherford atom model. Predict the paths taken by a particles that are fired at atoms with a Rutherford atom model structure. Explain why you expect the particles to take these paths. If a particles of higher energy than those in (a) are fired at Rutherford atoms, predict how their paths will differ from the lower-energy a particle paths. Explain your reasoning. Predict how the paths taken by the particles will differ if they are fired at Rutherford atoms of elements other than gold. What factor do you expect to cause this difference in paths, and why? Now test your predictions from (a), (b), and (c). Open the Rutherford Scattering simulation (http://openstaxcollege.org/I/16PhetScatter) and select the Rutherford Atom tab. Due to the scale of the simulation, it is best to start with a small nucleus, so select 20 for both protons and neutrons, mm for energy, show traces, and then start firing a particles. Does this match your prediction from (a)? If not, explain why the actual path would be that shown in the simulation. Pause or reset, set energy to max, and start firing a particles. Does this match your prediction from (b)? If not, explain the effect of increased energy on the actual path as shown in the simulation. Pause or reset, select 40 for both protons and neutrons, mm for energy, show traces, and fire away. Does this match your prediction from (c)? If not, explain why the actual path would be that shown in the simulation. Repeat this with larger numbers of protons and neutrons. What generalization can you make regarding the type of atom and effect on the path of a particles? Be clear and specific.arrow_forwardHow many protons and neutrons are contained in the nucleus of each of the following atoms? In an atom of each element, how many electrons are present? a.2241Ti d.3686Kr b.3064Zn e.3375As c.3276Ge f.1941Karrow_forwardCobalt60 and iodine131 are radioactive isotopes commonly used in nuclear medicine. How many protons, neutrons, and electrons are in atoms of these isotopes? Write the complete electron configuration for each isotope.arrow_forward
