Answer:
Isotopes are basically atoms of an element that have an unequal number of neutrons and protons. Of course the proton number remains the same, but the neutron number either decreases or increases, which leads to an overall change in mass. However, no chemical properties of the atom/element are changed as the electrons are the same number and do not react. In regards to Helium 4, the original number of neutrons in Helium is 2, and protons 2 as well. We see an equal number of neutrons and protons, hence an unchanged mass, and the element is <em>not</em> an isotope.
Answer:
The molecular formula of a compound represents molecular mass of the substance. For example, the molecular mass of water molecule (H2O) is 18u.
(iv) The molecular formula of any compound gives the name, and actual number of atoms of each kind present in one molecule of the substance. For example, the formula for water is H2O. This means that every molecule of water is made up of 2 atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.
Answer:
The correct option is: Carbonate ion < Carbon dioxide < Carbon monoxide
Explanation:
Bond energy is defined as the average energy needed to break a chemical covalent bond and signifies the strength of chemical covalent bond.
The bond strength of a covalent bond depends upon the <u>bond length and the bond order.</u>
Carbon monoxide molecule (CO) has two covalent bond and one dative bond. Bond order 2.6
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) has two carbon-oxygen (C-O) double bonds of equal length. Bond order 2.0
Carbonate ion (CO₃²⁻) has three C-O partial double bonds. Bond order 1.5
Also, the bond length is <u>inversely proportional to the bond order and bond strength.</u>
Therefore, <u>order of C-O bond length:</u> Carbon monoxide<Carbon dioxide<Carbonate ion
<u>Order of C-O bond order</u>: Carbonate ion<Carbon dioxide<Carbon monoxide
<u>Order of C-O bond strength or energy</u><u>: Carbonate ion<Carbon dioxide<Carbon monoxide</u>
