Only one isotope of this element occurs in nature. one atom of this isotope has a mass of 9.123 ✕ 10-23 g. identify the element and give its atomic mass. element

The atom has only one isotope which means 100 % of same atom is present in nature. The atomic mass of an element is the number of times an atom of that element is heavier than an atom of carbon taken as 12. Mass of one atom of that isotope is 9.123 ✕ 10⁻²³ g, so mass of one mole of atom that is Avogadro's number of atom is 6.023 X 10²³  X 9.123 X 10⁻²³ g=54.94 g = 55 g (approximate).

So, the atom having atomic mass 55 will be Cesium (Cs). Only one isotope of Cesium is stable in nature.

the correct answer is boyle

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6
