- How many valence electrons are in each element of problem 28?arrow_forwardAn element consists of 1.40% of an isotope with mass 203.973 u, 24.10% of an isotope with mass 205.9745 u, 22.10% of an isotope with mass 206.9759 u, and 52.40% of an isotope with mass 207.Y766 u. Calculate the average atomic mass, and identify the element.arrow_forwardDo the proton and the neutron have exactly the same mass? How do the masses of the proton and the neutron compare to the mass of the electron? Which particles make the greatest contribution W the mass of an atom? Which particles make the greatest contribution to the chemical properties of an atom?arrow_forward
- An atom that has lost three electrons will have a charge of .arrow_forwardOne of the best indications of a useful theory is that it raises more questions for further experimentation than it originally answered. How does this apply to Dalton’s atomic theory? Give examples.arrow_forwardCertain elements have special affinities for other elements. This causes them to bind together in special ways to form .arrow_forward
- In what way are isotopes of a given element always different? In what way(s) are they always the same?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_forwardA atom becomes an ion that possesses a negative charge. The atom must have: a.gained protons. b.lost protons. c.lost electrons. d.gained electrons.arrow_forward
- One of the best indications of a useful theory is that it raises more questions for further experimentation than it originally answered. Does this apply to Daltons atomic theory? Give examples.arrow_forwardA combustion reaction involves the reaction of a substance with oxygen gas. The complete combustion of any hydrocarbon (binary compound of carbon and hydrogen) produces carbon dioxide and water as the only products. Octane is a hydrocarbon that is found in gasoline. Complete combustion of octane produces 8 L of carbon dioxide for every 9 L of water vapor (both measured at the same temperature and pressure). What is the ratio of carbon atoms to hydrogen atoms in a molecule of octane?arrow_forwardWithout consulting your textbook or notes, state as many points as you can of Dalton’s atomic theory. Explain in your own words each point of the theory.arrow_forward
