Which of the following does not describe a characteristic of carbon?

2 answers:

7 0

The characteristic that is not descriptive of C, would be D. It forms bonds with only itself. It forms bonds with almost all other nonmetals, present, like H,O,N, etc.

Carbon can bond with other atoms, such a oxygen, to produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide etc.

What is the difference between atomic mass, relative atomic mass and average atomic mass

vesna_86 [32]

$\bold{\huge{\underline{\purple{ Answer }}}}$

Difference between Atomic mass, relative atomic mass and average atomic mass :-

<h3>Atomic Mass :-</h3>

Atomic mass is the mass of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus of an atom .
It is always calculated for a single element and having direct value
For isotopes also, the atomic mass is calculated separately . Example :- Carbon 12 , carbon 13 and carbon 14 have different atomic mass. 
The SI unit of Atomic mass is " u" and "amu"

<h3>Relative Atomic mass :-</h3>

Relative atomic mass is mean mass of the atoms of an element which is compared to the 1/12th mass of carbon - 12 .
Carbon - 12 is taken as a relative when we calculate the relative atomic mass of any element
For calculating relative atomic mass, we need to know the masses, percentage and abundance of all types of elements
Relative atomic mass is a dimension less quantity

<h3>Average Atomic Mass :-</h3>

Average atomic mass is the average mass of an atoms of a particular element by considering it's isotopes
While we calculate average atomic mass is a standardized number. Whereas, Average atomic mass sometimes varies geologically .
It also includes percentage, abundance and masses of given element .
In average atomic mass, We do not compare mean value with the 1/12 mass of carbon - 12
The unit of Average atomic mass is "Amu" or " u " .

In which of these samples do the atoms have the least kinetic energy? bromine gas (75°C) bromine gas (60°C) liquid bromine (45°C

horrorfan [7]

Gases have high kinetic energy: the molecules are moving much more than in a liquid or solid. You can cut out A and B. In the liquids, the difference is temperature. If a lower temperature is closer to being solid, and a solid has lower kinetic energy than a liquid, then C is the answer. Hope this helps.

What is the relative formula mass of N2O? Ar of N = 14 and Ar of O = 16.

s2008m [1.1K]

We have to calculate formula mass of N₂O.

The answer is: 44

Relative formula mass is the sum of relative atomic mass of constituent atoms in a formula unit of any compound. Relative formula mass is represented as same symbol of relative molecular mass.

To calculate relative formula mass we need to know number of each atom in the formula and then adding atomic masses of all the atoms.

In N₂O, number of N-atom present is equal to 2 and number of O-atom is equal to 1.

Atomic mass of N-atom is 14 and atomic mass of O-atom is 16.

So, formula mass of N₂O is (2 X 14)+16 = 44.
