How do scientists determine the number of neutrons in an isotope of an atom? O They find the number of protons. 0 They add the n

umber of electrons and protons. They divide the atomic mass by two. They subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass. ​

Answer:

The three naturally-occurring isotopes of hydrogen. The fact that each isotope has one proton makes them all variants of hydrogen: the identity of the isotope is given by the number of protons and neutrons. From left to right, the isotopes are protium (1H) with zero neutrons, deuterium (2H) with one neutron, and tritium (3H) with two neutrons.

The term isotope is formed from the Greek roots isos (ἴσος "equal") and topos (τόπος "place"), meaning "the same place"; thus, the meaning behind the name is that different isotopes of a single element occupy the same position on the periodic table.[2] It was coined by a Scottish doctor and writer Margaret Todd in 1913 in a suggestion to chemist Frederick Soddy.

The number of protons within the atom's nucleus is called atomic number and is equal to the number of electrons in the neutral (non-ionized) atom. Each atomic number identifies a specific element, but not the isotope; an atom of a given element may have a wide range in its number of neutrons. The number of nucleons (both protons and neutrons) in the nucleus is the atom's mass number, and each isotope of a given element has a different mass number.

For example, carbon-12, carbon-13, and carbon-14 are three isotopes of the element carbon with mass numbers 12, 13, and 14, respectively. The atomic number of carbon is 6, which means that every carbon atom has 6 protons, so that the neutron numbers of these isotopes are 6, 7, and 8 respectively.

Which element is used for the shiny trim on cars
galben [10]
<span>The correct answer is either Chrome (Chromium), or Aluminum. Unlike steel, these two don't rust easily and can be polished to be quite shiny, especially Chromium, which is why you'll always hear people who like cars talking about chrome wheels and chrome spoilers and things like that. They are not that good for bumpy or roads that are full of holes because they can bend much easier than steel so it can be expensive to maintain.</span>

A sample of a compound contains 60.0 g C and 5.05 g H. Its molar mass is 78.12 g/mol. What is the compound’s molecular formula?
Inessa [10]

A sample of a compound contains 60.0 g C and 5.05 g H.

divide by molar mass of C(12) and H(1) to get molar ratio

C: 60/12=5 and H: 5/1=5

so C:H=5:5=1:1

total molar mass=78

divide by 1C+1H to find the formula: 78/(12+1)=78/13=6

compound is C6H6

Show the difference in the reactivity of Na,Ca,Mg,Al,Fe,Cu with H2O
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Na react with H2O to form NAOH

2 Na+2H2O....................2NAOH + H2

Ca react with water and form calcium hydroxide

Ca + 2H2O........................Ca(OH)2

Mg react with water and form Magnesium hydroxide

Mg +2H2O .........................Mg(OH)2 however this coating of mg(oh)2 prevent it from further reaction

 Fe react with water and form ferric hydride

3Fe +H2O.......................2 FeH +FeO

copper do not react with water
