Answer:

For isotopes, the difference between the mass number and number of neutrons is constant.

Explanation:

Isotopes are atoms with the same atomic number but different mass numbers.

Number of neutrons in an atom can be obtained by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number.

So in other words , isotopes are atoms for which the difference between the mass number and number of neutrons is constant.

For example, Hydrogen,Deuterium and Tritium are isotopes of Hydrogen in which the difference between mass number and number of neutrons is 1.

What are the branches of chemistry and their definition?

-BARSIC- [3]

The five main branches of chemistry are organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry and biochemistry. Chemistry can be further divided into many sub-branches that may fall under more than one of the main branches.

What mass of mgo is produced from 2.00 moles of mg ? Mg +02 mgo

Vanyuwa [196]

Chemical Reactions and Moles of Reactants and Products
That is, it requires 2 moles of magnesium and 1 mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of magnesium oxide. If only 1 mole of magnesium was present, it would require 1 ÷ 2 = ½ mole of oxygen gas to produce 2 ÷ 2 = 1 mole magnesium oxide.

Give regents and mechanism

Kryger [21]

Answer:

Reagents: 1) $BH_3$ 2) $H_2_O2$ , $OH^-$

Mechanism: Hydroboration

Explanation:

In this case, we have a hydration of alkenes reaction. But, in this example, we have an anti-Markovnikov reaction. In other words, the "OH" is added in the least substituted carbon. Therefore we have to choose an anti-Markovnikov reaction: "hydroboration".

The first step of this reaction is the addition of borane ( $BH_3$ ) to the double bond. Then in the second step, we have the deprotonation of the hydrogen peroxide, to obtain the peroxide anion. In the third step, the peroxide anion attacks the molecule produced in the first step to produce a complex compound in which we have a bond " $BH_2-O-OH$ ". In step number 4 we have the migration of the C-B bond to oxygen. Then in step number 5, we have the attack of $OH^-$ on the $O-BH_2$ to produce an alkoxide. Finally, the water molecule produce in step 2 will protonate the molecule to produce the alcohol.
