1.21 Where on the following outline of a periodic table does
the dividing line between metals and nonmetals fall?
1.22 Is the element marked in red on the following periodic
table likely to be a gas, a liquid, or a solid? What is the
atomic number of the element in blue? Name at least
one other element that is chemically similar to the
element in green.
1.23 The radioactive element indicated on the following
periodic table is used in smoke detectors. Identify it,
give its atomic number, and tell what kind of group
it’s in.
1.24 Characterize each of the following dartboards according
to the accuracy and precision of the results.
1.25 How many milliliters of water does the graduated
cylinder in (a) contain, and how tall in centimeters is
the paper clip in (b)? How many significant figures do
you have in each answer?
1.26 Assume that you have two graduated cylinders, one
with a capacity of 5 mL (a) and the other with a capacity
of 50 mL (b). Draw a line in each, showing how much
liquid you would add if you needed to measure 2.64 mL
of water. Which cylinder will give the more accurate
measurement? Explain.
1.27 The following cylinder contains three liquids that do
not mix with one another: water (density  1.0 g/mL),
vegetable oil (density  .93 g/mL), and mercury
(density  13.5 g/mL). Which liquid is which?
