<span>Boron has a lot of different isotopes, most of which having a very short half life (ranging from 770 milliseconds for Boron-8 down to 150 yoctoseconds for boron-7). But the two isotopes Boron-10 and Boron-11 are stable with about 80.1% of the naturally occurring boron being boron-11 and the remaining 19.9% being boron-10. The weighted average weight of those 2 isotopes has the value of 10.81. The reason they use the average mass of an element for it's atomic weight is because elements in nature are rarely single isotopes. The weighted average allows us to easily compare relative number of atoms of one element against relative numbers of atoms of another element assuming that the experimenters are getting isotope ratios close to their natural ratios.</span>

How many CO2 molecules in 0.0189 mol of CO2?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

option C is correct = 1.14 × 10²² molecules of  CO₂

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of CO₂ = 0.0189 mol

Number of molecules = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

For given question:

1 mole of CO₂ =  6.022 × 10²³ molecules of  CO₂

0.0189 mol of CO₂ ×  6.022 × 10²³ molecules of  CO₂ / 1mol

1.14 × 10²² molecules of  CO₂

Thus, option C is correct.

For each row in the table below, decide whether the pair of elements will form a molecular or ionic compound. If they will, then
Olin [163]

Answer:

\begin{array}{cccll}\textbf{Element 1} & \textbf{ Element 2} &\textbf{Compound?} &\textbf{Formula} &\textbf{Type}\\\text{Ar}&\text{Xe} &\text{No} &\text{None}&\text{Neither}\\\text{F}& \text{Cs} &\text{Yes} &\text{CsF} &\text{Ionic}\\\text{N} &\text{Br} &\text{Yes} & \text{NBr}_{3}&\text{molecular} \\\end{array}

Explanation:

You look at the type of atom and their electronegativity difference.

If ΔEN <1.6, covalent; if ΔEN >1.6, ionic

Ar/Xe: Noble gases; no reaction

F/Cs: Non-metal + metal; ΔEN = |3.98 – 0.79| = 3.19; Ionic

N/Br: Two nonmetals; ΔEN = |3.04 - 2.98| = 0.
