An element, X, has 2 isotopes, X-32 with an abundance of 31.5% and X-35 with an abundance of 68.5%. What is the average atomic mass of element X?

amu = 34.055 or 34.1

Explanation:

to calculate the average mass, first convert the percentages into decimals. Then, calculate the mass numbers. To get this number, multiply the decimal by the mass number for each isotope and, then add them together.

( 0.315 x 32 ) + (0.685 x 35 ) = 34.055

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.

if it's not useful, feel free to report for mistake in answer.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
