Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Elements and Their Atomic Masses
First, we need to identify the elements given in the problem and find their atomic masses. The elements listed are:
Mg (Magnesium)
Pb (Lead)
K (Potassium)
Cl (Chlorine)
Fe (Iron)
B (Boron)
C (Carbon)
The approximate atomic masses for these elements are:
Mg: 24.305
Pb: 207.2
K: 39.098
Cl: 35.453
Fe: 55.845
B: 10.81
C: 12.011
Step 2: Arrange the Elements by Atomic Mass
Next, we arrange the elements in order of increasing atomic mass based on the values identified in Step 1.
B (10.81)
C (12.011)
Mg (24.305)
Cl (35.453)
K (39.098)
Fe (55.845)
Pb (207.2)
Final Answer
The elements arranged in order of increasing atomic mass are:
