What is the formula to find the natural abundance?

In chemistry, natural abundance refers to the abundance of isotopes of a chemical element that is naturally found on a planet. Its formula is given as: abundance of isotope = average atomic weight of the element / exact weight of isotope.


What is the significance of the symbol of the element?

Sigificance of the Symbol of an Element :- 1. Symbol represents name of the element. 2. Symbol represents one atom of the element. 3. Symbol also represents one mole of atoms of the element. That is, symbol also represents 6.022 x 1023 atoms of the element. 4. Symbol represents a define mass of the element (equal to atomic mass expressed in grams).


What is single displacement?

Single displacement is a oxidation-reduction chemical reaction in which an element or ion moves from one compound to another. There is no single person to whom credit was given for the discovery of single displacement.


What does the number at the upper left corner of each element represent?

That is the element's mean atomic mass. It's the average atomic mass of the element as found in nature, taking into account how abundant each isotope of the element is in nature. The number of protons in an atom determines what element it is, but not all atoms of many elements have the same number of neutrons in nature. The total number of protons and neutrons determines which isotope of the element it is, and almost all of an atom's mass is in its protons and neutrons. Atomic mass is measured in atomic mass units (amu). One atomic mass unit is equal to one twelfth of the mass of a carbon-12 atom in its ground state. That is approximately 1.660539 yoctograms (a yoctogram is a trillionth of a trillionth of a gram).

What do atoms of the same given element share?

Atoms of a given element always have the same number of protons in their nucleus. Neutrons can vary (in different isotopes) and electrons can vary (in different ions) but protons are always the same for a given element. If the number of protons is changed, then you no longer have the same element.
