An isotope is an element with different atomic mass.

We have,
Atomic mass = no. of protons + no. of neutrons 
Now, we know, protons never change.....so the only thing that changes is neutrons if we want different atomic mass.

Soooooooo,

The answer is "D. <span>A form of an atom with a different number of neutrons"

The answer is not A. because same element with different number of electron is ion.

The answer is not B. because if it has different number of proton....it is going to be a different element. Just like our fingerprints, we can say that protons are fingerprints of element. No. of protons never change.

The answer is not C. because again talking about electrons.

Water and salt are compounds made of the combination of more than
inn [45]

Answer:

A. Because they are compounds, they cannot be pure substances.

Pure substances are made up of elements and compounds and they have the following properties:

  • All parts are the same throughout
  • Composition is definite
  • They cannot easily be separated or broken
  • Separation by physical method is not easy
  • They have unique sets of physical and chemical properties.

Select the correct answer. When an atom in a reactant loses electrons, what happens to its oxidation number? A. Its oxidation nu
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

C. Its oxidation number increases.

Explanation:

  • <em><u>Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons by an atom while reduction is the gain of electrons by an atom</u></em>.
  • Atoms of elements have an oxidation number of Zero in their elemental state.
  • When an atom looses electrons it undergoes oxidation and its oxidation number increases.
  • For example, <em><u>an atom of sodium (Na) at its elemental state has an oxidation number of 0. When the sodium atom looses an electrons it becomes a cation, Na+, with an oxidation number of +1 , the loss of electron shows an increase in oxidation number from 0 to +1.</u></em>

The density of lava is 3.1 g/cm². It has a volume of 2700 cm3. How much does this block of lava weigh?
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Mass of lava is 8370 g.

Explanation:

Density:

Density is equal to the mass of substance divided by its volume.

Units:

SI unit of density is Kg/m3.

Other units are given below,

g/cm3, g/mL , kg/L

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

Symbol:

The symbol used for density is called rho. It is represented by ρ. However letter D can also be used to represent the density.

Given data:

density of lava = 3.1 g/cm³

volume= 2700 cm³

mass= ?

Solution:

d = m/v

m = d×v

m = 3.1 g/cm³×2700 cm³

m = 8370 g
