To Find:
The number of times the arrangement of elements on the basis of atomic number and
Answer to Problem 3.1P
There are four cases in which orders of the atomic number and atomic mass are different.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The periodic table is the arrangement of the chemical elements in the tabular form based on chemical properties, atomic number and electron configuration. The table consists of seven rows known as periods and eighteen columns known as a group.
Initially, the concept of atomic number was unknown therefore, scientists arranged the elements based on their atomic masses. Till now, 90 elements had been found that occur naturally on the Earth and all the matter found on Earth made of these elements. Furthermore, there are approximately two dozen elements which can be created artificially by nuclear reaction. But all the artificial elements are unstable and disintegrate having half-lives much less than the age of Earth.
From the modern periodic table, there are few exceptions given below based on the difference between atomic mass arrangement and atomic number arrangement.
Element | Thorium (Th), Protactinium|(Pa) | Tellurian (Te), Iodine (I) | Cobalt (Co), Nickel (Ni) | Argon (Ar), Potassium (k) |
Atomic number | 90, 91 | 52, 53 | 28, 29 | 18, 19 |
Atomic mass | 232.0, 231.0 | 127.60, 126.9 | 58.9, 58.7 | 39.95, 39.10 |
Conclusion:
The modern periodic table is based on the atomic number, the concept which is completely unknown earlier. Due to which previously periodic table was based on atomic mass.

- Please help, I have been stuck here for almost 2 hours. It says that square root of 2 x t and T is greater that t is correct. But it still says that it is incorrect because there is still unchecked answersarrow_forwardThis Cannot be hand-drawn, this physics solution must be typed out, and the explanation in the simplest manner.arrow_forwardA car accelerates uniformly from rest and travels a distance of (100 ± 1) m. If the acceleration of the car is (6.5 ± 0.5) m/s^2, what would be its final velocity, together with its associated uncertainty, at the end of the distance covered?arrow_forward
- Could someone explain to me in detail why bringing a crystal substance to absolute zero isn't possible? I know it's not because of quantum mechanics and uncertainty like some people say, because particals at their lowest zero-point will have a temperature of exactly 0 K, even though they're still experiencing motion. From what I've gathered, the energy or time required to pull it off is infinite, but I can't find any equations or clear explanations as to why or how that is. And I also don't know if there's any other reasons beyond that. If you could give me a thourough a breakdown for how absolute zero is impossible as you possibly could, I'd greatly appreciate it. Take as much extra time as you need. As long as it's detailed and correct I'm happy. Though ideally I would before it come in before the end of the day.arrow_forwardImagine another universe in which the value of Planck’s constant is 0.0663 J . s, but in which the physical laws and all other physical constants are the same as in our universe. In this universe, two physics students are playing catch. They are 12 m apart, and one throws a 0.25 kg ball directly toward the other with a speed of 6.0 m/s. (a) What is the uncertainty in the ball’s horizontal momentum, in a direction perpendicular to that in which it is being thrown, if the student throwing the ball knows that it is located within a cube with volume 125 cm3 at the time she throws it?
