This table shows the mass of one atom for five chemical elements. Use it to answer the question given.
Element Mass of atom (kg)
Titanium 7.95 × 10-26
Lead 3.44 × 10-25
Silver 1.79 × 10-25
Lithium 1.15 × 10-26
Hydrogen 1.674 × 10-27
(a) Which is the heaviest element?
(b) Which element is lighter, Silver or Titanium?
(c) List all five elements in order from lightest to heaviest.
Solution:
Given, the table represents the elements and its mass of atoms in kg.
(a) We have to find the heaviest element.
Element | Mass of atom (kg) | Mass of atom (kg) |
Titanium | 7.95 × 10-26 | 7.95 × 10-26 |
Lead | 3.44 × 10-25 | 34.4 × 10-26 |
Silver | 1.79 × 10-25 | 17.9 × 10-26 |
Lithium | 1.15 × 10-26 | 1.15 × 10-26 |
Hydrogen | 1.674 × 10-27 | 0.1674 × 10-26 |
From the table,
We observe that Lead is the heaviest element.
(b) We have to find the lighter element out of Silver and Titanium.
From the table,
Silver = 17.9 × 10-26
Titanium = 7.95 × 10-26
Silver > Titanium
Therefore, Titanium is the lighter element.
(c) We have to order all five elements from lightest to heaviest.
Hydrogen < Lithium < Titanium < Silver < Lead
