Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, and it tells us about the mass of the atom in amu, or atomic mass units. Atomic mass is the average mass of all the isotopes of a certain type. It is a weighted average that takes into account the abundances of all of the different isotopes

hope this helps :)

Water is added to liquid isopropanol (a polar liquid) to form a solution of rubbing alcohol. Describe what happens on the molecu
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Explanation:

Since liquid isopropanol is a polar liquid and water is also a polar solvent. So, when both of them are added together then according to the like dissolves like principle they get dissolved.

At the molecular level, the polar molecules of isopropanol get attracted towards the polar molecules of water at the surface of water.

As a result, water molecules get surrounded by isopropanol. Thus, water molecules enter the solution and evenly spread into the solution.
