What are isotopes.....

1 answer:

6 0

The atoms of a chemical element can exist in different types. These are called isotopes. They have the same number of protons (and electrons), but different numbers of neutrons. Different isotopes of the same element have different masses. Mass is the word for how much substance (or matter) something has.

Isotopes are atom families that have the same number of protons, but different numbers of neutrons

Each of two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, and hence differ in relative atomic mass but not in chemical properties; in particular, a radioactive form of an element.

Which property of a mineral sample does not influence how quickly it settles in water? 1) density 2) hardness 3) shape 4) size

satela [25.4K]

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

4) size

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

The mineral’s physical properties are used in identifying minerals and are determined by its chemical composition and crystal structure.
<u>Streak</u> is the color of the mineral in powdered form and since it is a more accurate illustration of the mineral’s color, its is a more reliable property of minerals than color for identification.
<u>Hardness</u> is one of the better properties of minerals to use for identifying a mineral. Hardness is a measure of the mineral’s resistance to scratching.
<u>Density</u> may be used to identify minerals. It is used to describe the amount of matter in a certain amount of space. Substances that have more matter packed into a given space have higher densities.

Predict the aldol product when the following ketone undergoes self-condensation in the presence of NaOH. Do not show the dehydra

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

β-hydroxyaldehyde (an aldol) namely 3-Hydroxy butanal.

Explanation:

When acetaldehyde is treated with dil.NaOH it undergoes self condensation as it contains alpha-hydrogen atom in its compound forming β-hydroxyaldehyde (an aldol) namely 3-Hydroxy butanal. This compound upon further heating will eliminate a molecule of water forming aldol condensation product namely Crotonaldehyde Or But-2-en-al. see the diagram attached.
