<u>Answer:</u> They differ by the number of neutrons

<u>Explanation:</u>

Isotopes are defined as the chemical species which have same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons.

The general isotopic representation is _{Z}^A\textrm{X}

where,

Z = Atomic number of the atom

A = Mass number of the atom

X = Symbol of the atom

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of neutrons + Number of protons.

We are given two isotopes:

_1^1\textrm{H}\text{ and }_1^2\textrm{H}

  • <u>For _1^1\textrm{H} isotope:</u>

Number of protons = 1

Mass number = 1

Number of neutrons = 1 - 1 = 0

  • <u>For _1^2\textrm{H} isotope:</u>

Number of protons = 1

Mass number = 2

Number of neutrons = 2 - 1 = 1

Hence, they differ by the number of neutrons

A student wants to remove the salt from a mixture of sand and salt in order to get only pure sand. He adds water to the mixture.
raketka [301]

Answer:

Here is one way: Add water to the mixture. Only the sugar dissolves. This is a physical change.

Explanation:

The sugar would dissolve in water. You could then pour off the solution and wash the remaining sand with a bit more water. Heat the water to evaporate it from the sugar, and the two are separated.
