Each isotope of Oxygen has a different number of neutrons
<h3>Further explanation </h3>The elements in nature have several types of isotopes
Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes
Isotopes are atoms has the same number of protons but has a different number of neutrons.
So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)
Some of the isotopes of oxygen are:
Each isotope has 8 protons and 8 electrons but has a different number of neutrons
For O-16: number of neutrons = 16-8 = 8
For O-17: number of neutrons = 17-8 = 9
For O-18: number of neutrons = 18-8 = 10
Answer : (C) Hafnium is the most likely identity of the given substance.
Solution : Given,
Mass of given substance (m) = 46.9 g
Volume of given substance (V) = 3.5
First, find the Density of given substance.
Formula used :
Now,put all the values in this formula, we get
= 13.4 g/
So, we conclude that the density of given substance (13.4 g/) is approximately equal to the density of Mercury and Hafnium (13.53 and 13.31 g/
respectively).
According to the question the substance is solid at room temperature but Mercury is liquid at room temperature. So, Mercury is not identical to the given substance.
Another element i.e, Hafnium is the element whose density is approximately equal to the given substance and also solid at room temperature. And we know that the melting point of solid is high.
So, Hafnium is the most likely element which is the identity of the given substance.
