An atom of element X has an electronic configuration of \( 1s^22S^22p^63s^23p^3. \) In which group of the periodic table is X?

A.

0

B.

2

C.

3

D.

4

E.

5

Correct answer is E

You can determine the group of an element by the number of electrons of their outermost shell.

Hence; this element silicon belongs to group 5 OR The Group to which an element belongs to, can be identified by adding the number of electrons of the orbital with the highest principal quantum number, in this case, 3s2 and 3p3. Therefore, 2+3 is equal to 5

note; if the highest principal quantum number is just 3s2 for example then the element belong to group 2.

Naturally occurring lithium consists of 90% \( ^7_3Li \text{ and 10% } ^6_3 Li. \) What is the relative atomic mass of lithium?

A.

6

B.

6.8

C.

6.9

D.

7

E.

7.1

Correct answer is C

the relative atomic mass of lithium = percentage abundance times the mass number of the first isotope + percentage abundance times the mass number of the second isotope.

the relative atomic mass of lithium = ( \(\frac{90}{100} \times7 + \frac{10}{100} \times 6\)) =(( 0.9 x 7) + (0.1 x 6)) = 6.3 + 0.6 = 6.9.
