according to the periodic table, which two elements have an atomic mass less than twice their atomic number?

Answer :

Answer:

Hydrogen and Oxygen

Explanation:

Hydrogen atomic mass = 1.008  amu

atomic mass = 15.999  amu

According to the periodic table, two elements whose  atomic mass is less than twice their atomic number are hydrogen and oxygen.

The atomic number of an atom refers to the number of protons in that atom. It serves as an identity for atoms of elements. The atomic mass of element is the weighted average of the masses of all the isotopes of the element.

The atomic number of oxygen is 8 while the atomic number of hydrogen is 1. The atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999 amu while the atomic mass of hydrogen is 1.0008 amu.

We can see that twice the atomic number of oxygen gives sixteen while twice the atomic number of hydrogen gives two. Therefore,  two elements whose  atomic mass is less than twice their atomic number are hydrogen and oxygen.
