- Scientists are trying to synthesize elements with more than 114 protons. State the expected atomic number of (a) the newest inert gas. (b) the new element with properties similar to those of the alkaline earth metals. (c) the new element that will behave like the halogens. (d) the new (nontransition) metal whose ion will have a +2 charge. (e) the new element that will start period 8.arrow_forwardWhat is meant by anuclear atom? Describe the points of Ruth erford’s model for the nuclear atom and how he tested this model. Based on his experiments, how did Rutherford envision the structure of the atom? How did Rutherford’s model of the atom’s structure differ from Kelvin’s “plum pudding” model?arrow_forwardFor each of the following sets of elements, label each as either noble gases, halogens, alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, or transition metals. a. Ti, Fe, Ag b. Mg, Sr, Ba c. Li, K., Rb d. Ne, Kr, Xe e. F, Br, Iarrow_forward

- The electron configuration of the isotope 16O is 1s22s22p4. What is the electron configuration of the isotope 18O?arrow_forwardThe brilliance with which magnesium burns makes it ideal for use in marine flares and fireworks. Compare the mass of magnesium that burns with the mass of magnesium in the magnesium oxide ash that forms. Explain this in terms of atomic theory. The white light in fireworks can result from burning magnesium.arrow_forward
