How can iodine z equals 53 have a higher atomic number yet lower atomic mass than tellurium z equals 52?
Because the naturally occurring isotopes of tellurium have fewer neutrons than the naturally occurring isotopes of iodine.
How tellurium and iodine show the periodic table is not arranged on basic of increasing atomic mass?
They show that the periodic table isn't arranged on the basis of increasing atomic mass because iodine has a mass lesser than tellurium. Iodine has a mass of 126.90 and tellurium has a mass of 127.60.
What two element are out of order in periodic table?
It might be Iodine and Tellurium because Tellurium has a larger atomic weight than Iodine but Iodine has more similar properties with Fluorine and Chlorine so Mendeleev placed them that way to make more sense but at that point the elements were aranged in order of atomic mass. Now the periodic table is in order of it's atomic number rather than it's atomic mass so it all fits nicely.
Which is more stable an atom of tin an ion of tin or an atom of tellurium?
Tellurium is more stable than tin due to the fact that tellurium is closer to having a stable number of electrons on its outer shell than tellurium.
What is heavier meson or proton?
meson is heavier than electron but lighter than proton
How is it that tellurium has a greater mass number than iodine if an iodine atom has one more proton than a tellurium atom?
Iodine nuclei have one more Proton than Tellurium, but in general the Tellurium atoms have more neutrons, giving a higher average atomic mass. Elements often have isotopes, and their stated atomic masses are averages which look at the abundance of these isotopes. In a given sample of Iodine, 100% of it will be 127I, though the tiniest trace of 129I will exist. In a sample of Tellurium, 65% will be 128Te and 130Te. This makes Tellurium's average atomic mass a little higher than Iodine's.
Why did mendeleev place tellurium before iodine?
Iodine's atomic number is 53 whereas tellurium's is 52. Atomic number is basically the number of protons that an element has. Therefore, as iodine has more protons than tellurium, it appears later in the table.
Why did Mendeleev swap Tellurium and Iodine around?
Iodine has a lower relative atomic mass than tellurium, meaning it should come before tellurium following Mendeleev's rule. However, in order to place iodine with the elements that consisted of similar properties, he had to put it after tellurium. Thus breaking his own rule.-Hope this helped :)

Tellurium is more stable than tin due to the fact that tellurium is closer to having a stable number of electrons on its outer shell than tellurium.
Which element has the smallest atomic radius phosphorus or tellurium?
Phosphorus (1.23 Å) has an atomic radius smaller than that of tellurium (1.42 Å).
What atom has the largest atomic radius calcium iodine potassium or cesium?
Potassium. It has two extra shells than lithium.
Does an electron have a mass greater than a proton?
an electron has way less mass than a proton.
What is heavier meson or proton?
meson is heavier than electron but lighter than proton
Why is fingerprint better than iodine?
fingerprint spray is better than iodine because iodine can smudge the fingerprint but the fingerprint makes it clear.
