Why do scientists measure and record mass instead of weight

The mass of our body remains constant everywhere...let it be on moon, sun or jupiter whereas weight changes everytime the gravitational force of a place changes. For example: if we are on moon, our mass is the same as in earth but our weight is 1/6 of the one on earth. To find our weight, knowing our mass is essential. So, mass is easier to find than weight. We must know that mass and weight are complete different things.

Mass is easier to get than the weight. weight is something that can change on the spot.<span />

vichka [17]

Explanation:

Since, the atomic number of nitrogen is 7 and its electronic distribution is 2, 5. So, in order to attain stability it needs to gain 3 electrons.

Hence, when it chemically combines another nitrogen atom then as both the atoms are non-metals. So, sharing of electrons will take place.

Also, there is no difference in electronegativity of two nitrogen atoms. Hence, compound formed $N_{2}$ is non-polar covalent in nature.

Entropy change is defined only along the path of an internally reversible process path.

<h3><u>What is Entropy Change </u>?</h3>

Entropy is a measure of a thermodynamic system's overall level of disorder or non-uniformity. The thermal energy that a system was unable to use to perform work is known as entropy.

Entropy Change is a phenomena that measures how disorder or randomness have changed inside a thermodynamic system.
It has to do with how heat or enthalpy is converted during work. More unpredictability in a thermodynamic system indicates high entropy.
Entropy is a state function, hence it is independent of the direction that the thermodynamic process takes.
The rearranging of atoms and molecules from their initial state causes the change in entropy.
This may result in a decrease or rise in the system's disorder or unpredictability, which will, in turn, result in a corresponding drop or increase in entropy.
