Isotope- variation of an element

Sixteen- atomic number of oxygen
Marianna [84]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:- Isotope for the first blank and sixteen for second blank.

Explanations:- The sum of protons and neutrons makes the mass number of the element. Since atomic mass is the average of isotopes of the element, it is not a whole number but the mass number is a whole number as it is the sum of number of protons and neutrons.

15.9994 is almost 16 means the mass number for the most common isotope of oxygen is 16.

Why do isotope decay
BaLLatris [955]

Instability

Explanation:

Isotopes decays because they are unstable. Stable isotopes do not decay.

  • For every atomic nucleus, there is a specific neutron/proton ratio.
  • This ratio ensure that a nuclide is stable.
  • For example, fluorine F, is 10/9 stable.
  • Any nucleus with a neutron/proton combination different from its stability ratio either too many neutrons or too many protons will become unstable.
  • Such nuclide will split into one or more other nuclei with the emission of small particles of matter and considerable amount of energy.

How many grams of sodium are in<br> 1.000 mole of sodium?
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

How many atoms are in a 3.5 g sample of sodium (Na)? In this example, multiply the grams of Na by the conversion factor 1 mol Na/ 22.98 g Na, with 22.98g being the molar mass of one mole of Na, which then allows cancelation of grams, leaving moles of Na.

In this reaction, what is the substance oxidized? zn(s) + 2 hcl(aq) → zncl2(aq) + h2(g) zinc chloride chlorine hydrogen zn oxyge
Zarrin [17]
Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g) 
Oxidation means lose of electrons and increase of positive charge so the part which oxidized in this equation is Zn(s) because it converted to Zn²⁺ (i.e. lost two electrons)
