- Scientists J. J. Thomson and William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) made numerous contributions to our understanding of the atom’s structure. Which subatomic particle did J. J. Thomson discover, and what did this lead him to postulate about the nature of the atom? William Thomson postulated what became known as the “plum pudding” model of the atom’s structure. What did this model suggest?arrow_forwardAre most elements found in nature in the elemental or the combined form? Why? Name several elements that are usually found in the elemental form.arrow_forwardIn Section 1.1 of the text, the concept of a chemical reaction was introduced with the example of the decomposition of water, represented as follows: Use ideas from Dalton's atomic theory to explain how the above representation illustrates the law of conservation of mass.arrow_forward
- The symbols for most elements are based on the first few letters of the respective element’s common English name. In some cases, however, the symbol seems to have nothing to do with the element’s common name. Give three examples of elements whose symbols are not directly derived from the element’s common English name.arrow_forwardGive two examples of each: a. alkali metal b. alkaline earth metal c. halogen d. noble gas e. metal f. nonmetal g. transition metal h. metalloidarrow_forwardThe element silver (Ag) has two naturally occurring isotopes: 109 Ag and 107Ag with a mass of 106.905 u. Silver consists of 51.82% 107Ag and has an average atomic mass of 107.868 u. Calculate the mass of 109Ag.arrow_forward
- The average atomic masses of some elements may vary, depending upon the sources of their ores. Naturally occurring boron consists of two isotopes with accurately known masses ( 10B, 10.0129 amu and 11B, 11.0931 amu). The actual atomic mass of boron can vary from 10.807 to 10.8 19, depending on whether the mineral source is from Turkey or the United States. Calculate the percent abundances leading to the two values of the average atomic masses of boron from these two countries.arrow_forwardAn element consists of 1.40% of an isotope with mass 203.973 u, 24.10% of an isotope with mass 205.9745 u, 22.10% of an isotope with mass 206.9759 u, and 52.40% of an isotope with mass 207.Y766 u. Calculate the average atomic mass, and identify the element.arrow_forwardThe element europium exists in nature as two isotopes: 151Eu has a mass of 150.9196 u and 153Eu has a mass of 152.9209 u. The average atomic mass of europium is 151.96 u. Calculate the relative abundance of the two europium isotopes.arrow_forward
