The correct options are as follows:
1. A.
A synthesis reaction is a type of reaction in which two or more reactants combine together to form only one product. Synthesis reaction always release energy in form of light and heat, therefore, they are usually exothermic reactions. In the option given in A, nitrogen and nitrogen combine together to form ammonia; this is a synthesis reaction.
2. D
A radioactive half life refers to the amount of time it will take for half of an original radioactive isotope to decay.
In the question given above, the half life of the element is 1000. Thus, in 1000 years only half of the original amount will remain. In another 1000 years only 1/4 of the original amount will remain and in another 1000 years only 1/8 of the original amount will remain. Therefore, it will take 3 half lives before 1/8 of the original sample remain.<span />
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Argon (Ar)
Hydrogen (H)
Helium (He)
Answer:
B) All carbon atoms have 6 neutrons.
Explanation:
The false statement from the given choices is that all carbon atoms have 6 neutrons.
There is a phenomenon called isotopy in chemistry.
Isotopy is the existence of two or more atoms of the same element having the same atomic number but different mass numbers due to the differences in the number of neutrons in their various nuclei.
- These atoms of elements are called isotopes.
- Carbon atoms generally have proton number of 6 which is the same as the atomic number.
- As with all atoms, the mass number or atomic mass equals the number of protons and neutrons.
For the isotopes of carbon, their number of neutrons differs.
For example:
<em>¹²₆C ¹³₆C ¹⁴₆C</em>
The number of neutrons differs in the above isotopes.
Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number;
¹²₆C , number of neutrons = 12 - 6 = 6
¹³₆C, number of neutrons = 13 - 6 = 7
¹⁴₆C, number of neutrons = 14 - 6 = 8
Therefore, based on the concept of isotopy, all carbon atoms do not have 6 neutrons.
