- 2-102 An element consists of 90.51% of an isotope with a mass of 19.992 amu, 0.27% of an isotope with a mass of 20.994 amu, and 9.22% of an isotope with a mass of 21.990 amu. Calculate the average atomic mass and identify the element.arrow_forward2-27 If each atom in Problem 2-26 acquired two more neutrons, what element would each then be?arrow_forwardhat questions were left unanswered by Rutherford’s experiments?arrow_forward
- For each of the isotopes in Exercise 21.1, determine the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in a neutral atom of the isotope.arrow_forwardConsider Ernest Rutherfords -particle bombardment experiment illustrated in Fig. l- 16. How did the results of this experiment lead Rutherford away from the plum pudding model of the atom to propose the nuclear model o f the atom?arrow_forwardWhich of the following are isotopes of element X, the atomic number for which is 9: 919X, 920X, 189X, and 921X?arrow_forward
- 2.87 What is the heaviest element to have an atomic weight that is roughly twice its atomic number? What does this suggest must he true about the nuclei of atoms with higher atomic numbers?arrow_forwardExplain the operation of a cathode-ray tube. Describe the deflection of cathode rays by electrically charged plates placed within the cathode-ray tube. What does this imply about cathode rays?arrow_forwardThe last “missing” element from the first six periods was promethium, which was finally discovered in 1947 among the fission products of uranium. Determine (a) the ratio of the number of neutrons in a 145Pm nucleus to the number of protons, and (b) the number of electrons in a single promethium atom.arrow_forward
- 2-103 The element silver has two naturally occurring isotopes: 109Ag and 107Ag with a mass of 106.905 amu. Silver consists of 51.82% 07Ag and has an average atomic mass of 107.868 amu. Calculate the mass of 109Agarrow_forwardThough the common isotope of aluminum has a mass number of 27, isotopes of aluminum have been isolated (or prepared in nuclear reactors) with mass numbers of 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, and 30. How many neutrons are present in each of these isotopes? Why are they all considered aluminum atoms, even though they differ greatly in mass? Write the atomic symbol for each isotope.arrow_forward2.84 Early attempts to arrange the elements often focused on atomic weight. Mendeleev considered a number of properties in addition to atomic weight, so he realized that some elements seemed out of place when ordered by atomic weight. Using the modern periodic table, identify elements for which Mendeleev must have had to switch the order in order to get the correct sequence of elements.arrow_forward
