Answer:

<h2>They must differ by having a different amount of valence electrons.</h2>

Explanation:

Valence electrons are the outermost electrons, and most atoms must have 8 atoms to be stable (except hydrogen and helium). This is called a covalent bond. Then, once the atoms share electrons, it forms a new element, like sodium and chlorine making salt, or NaCl. Or also like water, or H2O.

Answer:

<h3>25.0 grams is the mass of the steel bar.</h3>

Explanation:

Heat gained by steel bar will be equal to heat lost by the water

$Q_1=-Q_2$

Mass of steel= $m_1$

Specific heat capacity of steel = $c_1=0.452 J/g^oC$

Initial temperature of the steel = $T_1=2.00^oC$

Final temperature of the steel = $T_2=T=21.50^oC$

$Q_1=m_1c_1\times (T-T_1)$

Mass of water= $m_2= 105 g$

Specific heat capacity of water= $c_2=4.18 J/g^oC$

Initial temperature of the water = $T_3=22.00^oC$

Final temperature of water = $T_2=T=21.50^oC$

$Q_2=m_2c_2\times (T-T_3)-Q_1=Q_2(m_1c_1\times (T-T_1))=-(m_2c_2\times (T-T_3))$

On substituting all values:

$(m_1\times 0.452 J/g^oC\times (21.50^o-2.00^oC))=-(105 g\times 4.18 J/g^oC\times (21.50^o-22.00^o))\\\\m_1*8.7914=241.395\\\\m_1=\frac{219.45}{8.7914} \\\\m_1=24.9\\\\ \approx25 \texttt {grams}$

<h3>25.0 grams is the mass of the steel bar.</h3>
