- Using the information in Table 1-1, answer the following questions. In an ion with an unknown charge, the total mass of all the electrons was determined to be 2.55 1026 g, while the total mass of its protons was 5.34 1023 g. What is the identity and charge of this ion? What is the symbol and mass number of a neutral atom whose total mass of its electrons is 3.92 1026 g, while its neutrons have a mass of 9.35 1023 g?arrow_forwardWhich pair of elements do you expect to be most similar? a. Mg and Ca b. N and Cl c. Al and C d. S and Siarrow_forwardThe photo here depicts what happens when a coil of magnesium ribbon and a few calcium chips are placed in water. (a) Based on these observations, what might you expect to see when barium, another Croup 2A element, is placed in water? (b) Give the period in which each element (Mg. Ca, and Ba) is found. What correlation do you think you might find between the reactivity of these elements and their positions in the periodic table?arrow_forward
- Give two examples of each: a. alkali metal b. alkaline earth metal c. halogen d. noble gas e. metal f. nonmetal g. transition metal h. metalloidarrow_forwarda. Classify the following elements as metals or nonmetals: Mg Si Rn Ti Ge Rn Au B Am Bi At Br b. The distinction between metals and nonmetals is really not a clear one. Some elements, called metalloids, are intermediate in their properties. Which of these elements would you reclassify as metalloids? What other elements in the periodic table would you expect to be metalloids?arrow_forwardUsing the information in Table 2.1, answer the following questions. In an ion with an unknown charge, the total mass of all the electrons was determined to be 2.55 1026 g. while the total mass of its protons was 5.34 1023 g. What is the identity and charge of this ion?

- 2.43 Name of the group to which each of the following elements belongs. Name the group to which each of the solving elements belongs. (a) K, (b) Mg, (c) Ar, (d) Brarrow_forwardCrossword Puzzle: In the 2 2 box shown here, each answer must be correct four ways: horizontally, vertically, diagonally, and by itself. Instead of words, use symbols of elements. When the puzzle is complete, the four spaces will contain the over-lapping symbols of 10 elements. There is only one correct solution. Horizontal 12: two-letter symbol for a metal used in ancient times 34: two-letter symbol for a metal that burns in air and is found in Croup 5A Vertical 13: two-letter symbol for a metalloid 24: two-letter symbol for a metal used in U.S. coins Single squares: All one-letter symbols 1: a colorful non-metal 2: colorless, gaseous non-metal 3: an element that makes fireworks green 4: an element that has medicinal uses Diagonal 1-4: two-letter symbol for an element used in electronics 2-3: two-letter symbol for a metal used with Zr to make wires for superconducting magnets This puzzle first appeared in Chemical Engineering News, p. 86, December 14, 1987 (submitted by S. J. Cyvin) and in Chem Matters, October 1988.arrow_forwardOpen the Build an Atom simulation (http://openstaxcollege.org/I/16PhetAtomBld) and click on the Atom icon. Pick any one of the first 10 elements that you would like to build and state its symbol. Drag protons, neutrons, and electrons onto the atom template to make an atom of your element. State the numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in your atom, as well as the net charge and mass number. Click on Net Charge and Mass Number, check your answers to (b), and correct, if needed. Predict whether your atom will be stable or unstable. State your reasoning. Check the Stable/Unstable box. Was your answer to (d) correct? If not, first predict what you can do to make a stable atom of your element, and then do it and see if it works. Explain your reasoning.arrow_forward
