Well to put simple. Isotopes have a different relative amount of neutrons . the more neutrons the more it weighs BUT it still is the same element

For question #12, use the following picture:<br><br> 12. What element is this? How do you know?
labwork [276]

Answer: The element shown in the image is Helium (He).

Explanation: We are given a image of an atom having protons, neutrons and electrons.

Number of protons as shown in image = 2

Number of neutrons as shown in image = 2

Number of electron as shown in image = 2

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons

Atomic number of the element = 2

Atomic Mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Atomic mass = 2 + 2 = 4

The element having Atomic number = 2 and mass number = 4 is Helium.

Element = ^4_2\textrm{He}

Be sure to answer all parts. For each of the following pairs of elements, state whether the binary compound they form is likely
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

(a) Covalent bond. NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride)

(b) Ionic bond. LiCl (lithium chloride)

Explanation:

<em>(a) N and F</em>

Nitrogen and fluorine are nonmetals, with high and similar electronegativities, so they form covalent bonds, in which they share pairs of electrons to complete the octet in their valence shell. N has 5 valence electrons so it will form 3 covalent bonds while each Cl has 7 valence electrons so it will form 1 covalent bond. As a result, the empirical formula is NF₃ (nitrogen trifluoride).

<em>(b) Li and Cl</em>

Lithium is a metal and Chlorine is a nonmetal. They have different electronegativities so they form an ionic bond, in which Cl gains 1 electron (7 valence e⁻) and Li loses 1 electron (1 valence e⁻). The empirical formula is LiCl (lithium chloride).
