How many atoms are found in a 15.5 g sample of bismuth?

4.47 x 10²² atoms

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Bismuth  = 15.5g

Unknown:

Number of atoms  = ?

Solution:

To find the number atoms, first solve for the number of moles in this element first.

  Number of moles  =    

  Number of moles  =    = 0.074mole

So:

        1 mole of a substance contains 6.02 x 10²³ atoms

     0.074 mole of Bismuth will contain 0.074 x 6.02 x 10²³ atoms

                                                          = 4.47 x 10²² atoms

the term hydride is commonly named after binary compounds that hydrogen forms with other elements of the periodic table. hydride compounds in general form with almost any element, except a few noble gases. the trends and properties vary according to the type of intermolecular force that bonds the elements together, the temperature, its molecular masses, and other components. hydrides are classified into three major groups, depending on what elements the hydrogen bonds to. the three major groups are covalent, ionic, and metallic hydrides. formally, hydride is known as the negative ion of a hydrogen, h-, also called a hydride ion. because of this negative charge, hydrides have reducing, or basic properties. its special characteristics will be further discussed.
