Chapter 2, Problem 3RQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reasoning behind the statement “strontium -90, a radioactive isotope replaces calcium in the newly formed bones” is to be discussed.

Concept introduction:

Strontium and calcium are metals. Metals are solid materials that conduct electricity. They are used for making jewelry, coins, and decorative art. Metal alloys are used in building structures and vehicles. The examples of metals are copper, silver, tungsten, and calcium.

Matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. Thus, the mass of the products of a chemical reaction must be equal to the mass of the starting materials. Formally, this concept is called the law of conservation of mass. A sample of sodium reacts completely with 0.426 kg k g of chlorine, forming 702 g g of sodium chloride. What mass of sodium reacted?
Create a diagram to trace the development of the modern periodic table based on the observations on the properties of the elements? 3. Is the periodic table useful to you as a student? Justify your answer. 2. If you were to create a simple product using metals, nonmetals, and metalloids, what would your product be like? Sketch the design and composition of your product. Then, briefly explain what properties of each material are utilized in each part of the product. 4.
2.90 grams of phosphorus is burned in the presence of oxygen and forms 5.14 grams of a phosphorus oxide. What is the emperical formula of the phosphorus oxide formed? Then write a balanced equation for the formation of the phosphorus oxide.
