Problem 93
Bromine has only two natural isotopes, and they occur in about equal abundance. If \(79 \mathrm{Br}\) is one of the isotopes, what is the other isotope given the atomic mass of bromine is approximately 80 amu?
Problem 94
Silver has only two natural isotopes, and they occur in about equal abundance. If \(109 \mathrm{Ag}\) is one of the isotopes, what is the other isotope given the atomic mass of silver is approximately 108 amu?
Problem 95
Explain why the electron configuration for copper is \(1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6} 3 s^{2} 3 p^{6} 4 s^{1} 3 d^{10}\) rather than the predicted \(1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6} 3 s^{2} 3 p^{6} 4 s^{2} 3 d^{9}\).
Problem 96
Explain why the electron configuration for silver is \(1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6} 3 s^{2} 3 p^{6} 4 s^{2} 3 d^{10} 4 p^{6} 5 s^{1} 4 d^{10}\) rather than the predicted \(1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6} 3 s^{2} 3 p^{6} 4 s^{2} 3 d^{10} 4 p^{6} 5 s^{2} 4 d^{9}\).
