2.1 Each element is identified by a one- or two-letter symbol. Use the periodic table to
find the symbol for each element.
a. Ca b. Rn c. N d. Au
2.2 Use the periodic table to find the symbol for each element.
2.3 Use the periodic table to find the element corresponding to each symbol.
2.4 Metals are shiny materials that are good conductors of heat and electricity. Nonmetals do not have
a shiny appearance, and they are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity. Metalloids
have properties intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
2.5 Use Figure 2.1 and the definitions in Answer 2.4 to determine if the micronutrients are
metals, nonmetals, or metalloids.
As, B, Si: metalloids Cr, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Zn: metals F, I, Se: nonmetals
2.6 Use Figure 2.3 to determine which elements are represented in the molecular art.
2.7 The subscript tells how many atoms of a given element are in each chemical formula.
2.8 Use Figure 2.3 to determine which elements are represented in the molecular art.
Chapter 2–1
Atoms and the Periodic Table 2–10
2.10 The atomic number is unique to an element and tells the number of protons in the nucleus and the
number of electrons in the electron cloud.
2.12 In a neutral atom, the atomic number (Z) = the number of protons = the number of electrons. The
mass number (A) = the number of protons + the number of neutrons.
2.13 The mass number (A) = the number of protons + the number of neutrons.
2.14 The superscript gives the mass number and the subscript gives the atomic number for each
element.
The atomic number = the number of protons = the number of electrons in a neutral atom.
The mass number = the number of protons + the number of neutrons.
2.16 Multiply the isotopic abundance by the mass of each isotope, and add up the products to give the
atomic weight for the element.
a. Magnesium
Mass due to Mg-24: 0.7899 23.99 amu = 18.9497 amu
Mass due to Mg-25: 0.1000 24.99 amu = 2.499 amu
Mass due to Mg-26: 0.1101 25.98 amu = 2.8604 amu
Atomic weight = 24.3091 amu rounded to 24.31 amu
Answer
b. Vanadium
Mass due to V-50: 0.00250 49.95 amu = 0.12488 amu
Mass due to V-51: 0.99750 50.94 amu = 50.8127 amu
Atomic weight = 50.93758 amu rounded to 50.94 amu
Answer
2.17 Use the element symbol to locate an element in the periodic table. Count down the rows of
elements to determine the period. The group number is located at the top of each column.
2.18 Use the definitions from Section 2.4 to identify the element fitting each description.
a. K c. Ar e. Zn
b. F d. Sr f. Nb
2.19
a. titanium, Ti, group 4B (or 4), period 4, transition metal
b. phosphorus, P, group 5A (or 15), period 3, main group element
c. dysprosium, Dy, no group number, period 6, inner transition element
2.20 Use Table 2.4 to tell how many electrons are present in each shell, subshell, or orbital.
2.21 The electronic configuration of an individual atom is how the electrons are arranged in an
atom’s orbitals.
