Interpretation: Missing information in the given table is to be filled.
Concept Introduction:
The periodic table is an organized chart of elements. The elements are arranged in groups and periods based on the similarities in their physical and chemical properties. The modern periodic table is a storehouse of information about the elements. The number of vertical columns is 18 which are called groups and there are 7 horizontal rows known as periods. Elements in the middle of the periodic table are not very reactive.
Each element square contains information such as element name, symbol,

Answer to Problem 6E
Element | Chemical symbol | Atomic number | Number of protons | Number of electrons | Number of neutrons | Average atomic mass |
Nickel | Ni | 28 | 28 | 28 | 31 | 58.69 |
Neon | Ne | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 20.18 |
Magnesium | Mg | 12 | 12 | 12 | 12 | 24.31 |
Phosphorus | P | 15 | 15 | 15 | 16 | 30.97 |
Iron/ Manganese | Fe Mn | 26 25 | 26 25 | 26 25 | 30 30 | 55.85 54.94 |
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The following table is given.
Element | Chemical symbol | Atomic number | Number of protons | Number of electrons | Number of neutrons | Average atomic mass |

From the periodic table we get the following information about elements:
Element name, symbol, atomic number and average atomic mass
Each square of the periodic table looks like the one given below:
The atomic number gives the number of protons which is also equal to the number of electrons.
Atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons.
Number of neutrons = atomic mass − number of protons
- Element name - Nickel (given) Symbol- Ni (from the periodic table)
- Element name - Neon(from the periodic table) Symbol- Ne (given)
- Element name - Magnesium(from the periodic table) Symbol- Mg (from the periodic table)
- Element name - Phosphorus(from the periodic table) Symbol- P (from the periodic table)
- Element name - Iron(from the periodic table) Symbol- Fe (from the periodic table)
There are two elements with the number of neutrons (the difference between atomic mass and atomic number) = 26, iron and manganese.
Element name − Manganese(from the periodic table)
Symbol- Mn (from the periodic table)
The periodic table gives us information such as element name, symbol, atomic number and average atomic mass. The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons and is known as the atomic number. The number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the average atomic mass rounded to the nearest whole number.

- 1. Calculate the accurate monoisotopic mass (using all 1H, 12C, 14N, 160 and 35CI) for your product using the table in your lab manual. Don't include the Cl, since you should only have [M+H]*. Compare this to the value you see on the LC-MS printout. How much different are they? 2. There are four isotopic peaks for the [M+H]* ion at m/z 240, 241, 242 and 243. For one point of extra credit, explain what each of these is and why they are present. 3. There is a fragment ion at m/z 184. For one point of extra credit, identify this fragment and confirm by calculating the accurate monoisotopic mass. 4. The UV spectrum is also at the bottom of your printout. For one point of extra credit, look up the UV spectrum of bupropion on Google Images and compare to your spectrum. Do they match? Cite your source. 5. For most of you, there will be a second chromatographic peak whose m/z is 74 (to a round number).
