Explanation

  • The atomic number (Z) equals the number of protons in an atom’s nucleus; for a neutral atom it also equals the number of electrons.
  • Elements are arranged in the periodic table by increasing atomic number; the table groups elements with similar chemical behavior into columns (groups) and rows (periods).
  • Small mnemonic tips:
  • First 10: H He Li Be B C N O F Ne — try memorizing them as short phrases (e.g., “Happy Henry Likes Beans Brown…” )
  • Important transition metals in the 20s–30s include Ti (22), V (23), Cr (24), Mn (25), Fe (26), Co (27), Ni (28), Cu (29), Zn (30).

If you want, I can:

  • provide electron configurations for each of the first 40 elements,
  • give common oxidation states or uses,
  • or make printable flashcards for studying. Which would help you most?

A game is said to be fair if the expected value (after considering the cost) is 0. This means that in the long run, both the player and the “house” would expect to win nothing. If the value is positive, the game is in your favor. If the value is negative, the game is not in your favor. At a carnival, you pay $1 to choose a card from a standard deck. If you choose a red card, you double your money, but if you pick a black card, you do not get any. (A standard deck of cards has 52 cards. 26 of the cards are red.)

Calculating tax incidence Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge cola consumers a tax. Before the tax, 10,000 cases of cola were sold every week at a price of $5 per case. After the tax, 3,000 cases of cola are sold every week; consumers pay $8 per case (including the tax), and producers receive $3 per case. 1) The amount of the tax on a case of cola is $??? per case. 2) Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $??? per case, and the burden that falls on producers is ???$ per case. 3) True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been the same as if the tax had been levied on producers.
