Explanation:

Chemical properties are defined as the properties which tend to show change in chemical composition of a substance.

For example, toxicity, reactivity, combustion etc are all chemical properties.

It is known that elements which belong to same period show similar chemical properties.

This is because elements that lie in the same group have same number of valence electrons. Hence, they tend to show same type of reactivity which makes them exhibit similar chemical properties.

Thus, we can conclude that elements in group via (group 16) have similar properties because they all have 6 valence electrons.

Which statement correctly compares the masses of subatomic particles in an atom such as carbon?
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

C- A proton has about the same mass as a neutron .

Explanation:

In an atom such as a carbon atom, the masses of the proton and neutrons are the same.

The mass of the electrons is very negligible.

  • Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom
  • Neutrons do not carry any charges
  • Both protons and neutrons have similar masses.
  • They contribute the bulk of the mass of the atom.
  • The electrons carry negative charges and they have negligible masses.

The mass of protons and neutrons are similar.

. If the half-life of cesium-133 is 30 years, how much of a 600g sample of cesium-133 will be left after
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Caesium (55Cs) has 40 known isotopes, making it, along with barium and mercury, one of the elements with the most isotopes. The atomic masses of these isotopes range from 112 to 151. Only one isotope, 133Cs, is stable. The longest-lived radioisotopes are 135Cs with a half-life of 2.3 million years, ... It constitutes most of the radioactivity still left from the Chernobyl accident ...
