6 The atomic mass of magnesium is the weighted average of the atomic masses of (1) all of the artificially produced isotopes of Mg (2) all of the naturally occurring isotopes of Mg (3) the two most abundant mtif1cially produced isotopes of Mg (4) the two most abundant naturally occurring isotopes of Mg | 2 | link | definition of atomic mass |
7 Which element has atoms that can form halide ions? (1) iodine (3) strontium (2) silver (4) xenon | 1 | link | group 17 are the halogens halogens gain an electron and form halide ions |
8 Two forms of solid carbon, diamond and graphite, differ in their physical properties due to the differences in their (1) atomic numbers (2) crystal structures (3) isotopic abundances (4) percent compositions | 2 | link | Allotropes are different forms of the same element. They have different structures and therefore different properties. |
