Concept Introduction:
Periodic law states that if the elements are arranged in increasing order of atomic number, then the elements with similar chemical properties occur at regular intervals or periodic intervals. The elements are arranged in a periodic table in which the arrangement was based on the atomic number of the elements and the elements that have similar chemical properties are positioned in vertical columns.
Location of an element in a periodic table can be given by the period number and the group number. The horizontal row in a periodic table where the elements are present is known as Period. The vertical column in a periodic table where the elements are present is known as Group.

- . The elements with atomic numbers of 93 or greater are referred to as the _________ elements.arrow_forwardAn atom that has lost three electrons will have a charge of .arrow_forwardThe atomic mass of lithium on a periodic table is 6.94u. Lithium has two natural isotopes with atomic masses of 6.10512u and 7.01600u. Calculate the percentage distribution between the two isotopes. Pure lithium is composed of two isotopes.arrow_forward
- A fundamental idea of Daltons atomic theory is that atoms of an element can be neither created nor destroyed. We now know that this is not always true. Specifically, it is not true for uranium and lead atoms as they appear in nature. Are the numbers of these atoms increasing or decreasing? Explain.arrow_forwardHow many valence electrons are in each element of problem 28?arrow_forwardThe existence of isotopes violates one of the original ideas of Dalton’s atomic theory. Which one?arrow_forward
- Copper (Cu) has an atomic number of 29 and a mass number of 64. One copper atom, therefore, has how many protons? a.27 b.29 c.31 d.35arrow_forwardCalculating Atomic Mass Magnesium has three naturally occurring isotopes with masses 23.99,24.99,and25.98amu and natural abundances 78.99,10.00,and11.01%. Calculate the atomic mass of magnesium.arrow_forwardQuestions 31 through 36: Percentage abundances and atomic masses (u) of the natural isotopes of an element are given. a Calculate the atomic mass of each element from these data. b Using other information that is available to you, identify the element. Percentage Abundance Atomic Mass (u) 69.09 62.9298 30.91 64.9278arrow_forward
- Your friend tells you about an article that he read in a tabloid that reported the discovery of a new form of carbon containing eight protons in the nucleus of its atoms. He claims that scientists are eager to explore the properties of this new form of carbon. What is wrong with the tabloid's claim? a. Nothing. The claim is believable. b. The claim must be false because an atom with eight protons would be oxygen, which is already known. c. The claim must be false because all forms of carbon are already known.arrow_forwardMercury An isotope of mercury has 80 protons and 120 neutrons. What is the mass number of this isotope?arrow_forwardCan two different elements have the same atomic number? Explain.arrow_forward
