Q

Chromium, copper and zinc are all classified as d-block elements but only chromium and copper are classified as transition elements. Explain why this is the case.

A

Transition : Cr, Cu can have incomplete d and Zu has complete d.

Q

Giveanadvantageofarrangingtheelementsinorderofatomicnumber.

A

No need to reverse order to force elements into correct groups.

116
Q

Define relative atomic mass number.

A

The average mass of an atom of an element compared to 1/12 the mass of the carbon - 12 isotope, taking relative abundances of isotopes into account.

117
Q

Calculate the relative molecular mass of the element X whose composition was found to be 70% 63X and 30% 65 X. Identify element X.

A

70% x 63 = 44.1
30% x 65 = 19.5
+ = 63.6 = Cu / Copper
