Density is related to many things, including Atomic Mass and the type of bonding between atoms of that element. Many elemnets do not have a direct relationship between atomic number and mass, e.g. while carbon most commonly has 6 neutrons to its 6 protons in the nucleus, uranium has nearly 150 neutrons to its 90-odd protons. These higher elements are also much larger and so their mass-to-volume ratio changes (this would inherently alter the overall density), while the larger size affects how the atoms "stack up", for example in a metal structure. Elements in different groups also bond differently, e.g. oxygen forms a double covalent bond making O2, but carbon makes giant covalent networks (graphite, diamond). This also affects how each atom (or molecule in the case of oxygen, chlorine, nitrogen etc.) will interact with those around and how they fit together.

Which element in each pair has atoms with a larger atomic mass?

Carbon vs. Oxygen: Oxygen has atoms with a larger atomic mass. Sodium vs. Magnesium: Magnesium has atoms with a larger atomic mass. Phosphorus vs. Sulfur: Sulfur has atoms with a larger atomic mass.


If a 5.0cm3 sample of aluminum has a mass of 13.5grams will float in water?

No, since it's denser than water. Density is defined as mass per unit volume, in this case, 13.5 dividied by 5 .. which is greater than 1, the density of water. If the quotient was less than 1 (or density less than one gram per cubic centimeter), it would float in water.


How can one determine the initial rate of reaction from a table?

To determine the initial rate of reaction from a table, you can look at the change in concentration of reactants over time. By calculating the slope of the initial linear portion of the concentration vs. time graph, you can find the initial rate of reaction.


What is a molecular orbital vs an atomic orbital?

according to MOT each energy level can be occupied by 2 electrons which must have opposite spins these pairs of electrons considered to occupy molecular orbital. so molecular orbital is formed from the overlap of the atomic orbitals of the atoms making up the bond.


How do you graph mass vs volume?

To graph mass vs volume, plot mass on the y-axis and volume on the x-axis. Each data point will represent a specific object or substance, showing how mass changes with different volumes. The relationship between mass and volume can help determine density, which is a key property of the material being examined.

What are some examples of properties in elements?

Examples of properties of elements include atomic number, atomic mass, density, melting point, boiling point, reactivity, and electronegativity. These properties provide information about the characteristics and behavior of elements in the periodic table.


What is the general trend that you observe from a graph that plots atomic number vs atomic mass?

The general trend observed is that as atomic number increases, atomic mass also increases. This relationship is due to the fact that atomic number corresponds to the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, which in turn contributes to its mass.

Where can you find a graph of atomic radius vs atomic number?

See the Web Links to the left for the answer.The AntoineFrosturg.edu page has a graph of atomic radius versus atomic number.The HMCO.com page has an interactive feature where you can individually plot the atomic radius for each row or column of the periodic table.The other two sites have tables with the actual numbers for the atomic radii. Go to wikipedia.org and look up atomic radius, they have 2 charts for it.


Are atoms with the same atomic number atoms of the same element?

yes. Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, thus electorns, thus the same chemical properties. Where isotpes differ is in the number of neutrons. Consider hydrogen, atomic number 1, atomic weight 1, 1 proton, 1 electron vs duterium, atomic number 1 atomic weight 2, 1 proton, 1 electron, 1 neutron. H2O = water D2O = heavy water


How do you convert lbs into lf?

There is no direct conversion factor to convert pounds (lbs) to linear feet (lf) as they are measuring different physical quantities (weight vs. length). To convert lbs to lf, you would need to know the density of the material in question to determine how many linear feet a specific weight of that material corresponds to.


What are the ratings and certificates for Canadian Mounties vs- Atomic Invaders - 1953?

Canadian Mounties vs- Atomic Invaders - 1953 is rated/received certificates of: Finland:K-12 USA:Approved


What is a linear torque curve?

A torque curve is a plot of torque produced vs RPM, as measured on a dynamometer. It usually is not linear (a straight line).


If your voltage vs distance graph is not linear what could have caused this result?

voltage= f(ln(r)) graph is linear and voltage vs distance is non linear because voltage changes with 1/r so the graph is with curve. we use ln because ln direct the graph.


How does Vs speed vary with altitude?

As altitude increases, air density decreases. This reduction in air density leads to lower aerodynamic drag on an aircraft, allowing it to achieve a higher stall speed (Vs) at higher altitudes. Therefore, Vs increases with altitude due to the decrease in air density.
