Question

The diatomic molecule of an element Z has a mass of 6.31 x 10-23g. What is the atomic weight of the element Z?
​

Answer 1

Answer: hi mate your answer is

Explanation:

Since the element is in diatomic form, Z2, each atom will weigh half the molecular mass of the diatomic molecule,

ie mass of 1 atom of Z = 0.5 x 6.31 x 10-23 g

= 3.16 x 10-23 g.
