The answer is C. Isotopes.

Isotopes are defined as two substances that have the same number of protons and electrons, but a different number of neutrons, and therefore a different atomic mass. For example, carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of each other.

Hope this helps!

Calculate the empirical formula of each of the following substances with the following compositions.
OleMash [197]

Explanation:

Note: Molar masses of elements can be found online or in the periodic table.

Moles of Magnesium

= 3.60g / (24.3g/mol) = 0.148mol.

Moles of Chlorine

= 10.65g / (35.45g/mol) = 0.300mol.

Mole ratio of Magnesium to Chlorine

= 0.148mol : 0.300mol = 1 : 2.

Hence we have the empirical formula MgCl2.

Moles of Lithium

= 9.1g / (6.94g/mol) = 1.311mol.

Moles of Oxygen

= 10.4g / (16g/mol) = 0.650mol.

Moles ratio of Lithium to Oxygen

= 1.311mol : 0.650mol = 2 : 1.

Hence we have the empirical formula Li2O.

Choose the selection which correctly characterizes all three of the following substances in terms of whether they are polar or n
ohaa [14]

Answer:

SiH4 is nonpolar and BBr3 is nonpolar and SiF4 is nonpolar.

Explanation:

SiH4 is a non-polar compound. Though the Si–H bonds are polar, as a result of different electronegativities of Si and H. However, as there are 4 electron repulsions around the central Si atom, the polar bonds are arranged symmetrically around the central atom having a tetrahedral shape hence they cancel out making the compound nonpolar.

SiF4 is a nonpolar molecule because the fluorine atoms are arranged symetrically around the central silicon atom in a tetrahedral molecule with all of the regions of negative charge cancelling each other out just like in SiH4.

The 3 bromine atoms all lie in the same plane thus the geometry of the compound will be trigonal planar. The BBr3 will be non polar because the three B-Br bonds will cancel out each others' dipole moment given that they are in the same plane.

How do I do scientific notation
lina2011 [118]
1. First, move the decimal place until you have a number between 1 and 10. If you keep moving the decimal point to the right in 0.0000073 you will get 7.3.
2. Next, count how many places you moved the decimal point.
