This is called the Mass Number of the isotope of the atom.

Isotopes are different forms of the same atom. They have the same number of protons but different number of neutrons.

Carbon-12 has mass number 12 as it has 6 protons and 6 neutrons.

Carbon-14 has mass number 14 as its has 6 protons and 8 neutrons.

Do the elements in group 7 of the periodic table react with metals to form covalent compounds, ionic compounds, neither, or both

Vladimir [108]

Answer:Group 1 elements have 1 valence electron, meaning they have 1 extra electron that can easily be donated to an atom in search of 1 more electron. When they give away that extra electron to form an ionic compound, they become more stable.

For example, Group 7A (Group 17) elements have 7 valence electrons, meaning they need 1 extra electron to be stable. Group 1 and 7A elements make splendid ionic compounds.

David’s mom wants to calculate how much it will cost to drive from Los Angeles, CA, to San Francisco, CA. Gas costs $4. 00 a gal

bixtya [17]

The additional information required to calculate the cost of the drive has been distance between the two cities. Thus, option B is correct.

The distance traveled by the object set the cost per unit has been given by the product of the distance and the cost.

<h3>Detail required for calculation cost</h3>

The given question has known cost of the fuel per gallon.

The mileage of the car has been known.

The distance traveled by the car has not been known. Thus, to calculate the cost of the drive, the distance between the two points has to be known. Thus, option B is correct.

Answer:

This question is incomplete; the complete part/options is:

A) They are precise, but not accurate.

B) They are accurate, but not precise.

C) They are both accurate and precise.

D) They are neither accurate nor precise

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Accuracy refers to how close a series of measurements is to a known or true value while precision is the closeness of the measurements to one another.

The known concentration of a solution is 2.0M. In an experiment which Susan conducts five times and gets a solution concentration of 1.9M, 2.1M, 1.8M, 1.9M, and 2.2M respectively.

Based on these measured solute concentrations, one would observe that the measured values of: 1.9M, 2.1M, 1.8M, 1.9M, 2.2M are close to one another. This means that the measurements are PRECISE.

Also, the measured values are not too distant from the known value of 2.0M, hence, it can be said that the measurements are ACCURATE.

Therefore, Susan's measurements of the solute concentration are both accurate and precise.
