What isotope is used for a standard for other atomic masses?

Chemistry

Though the ratio of any two atom's masses was the same on either scale, it was horribly confusing, so in 1961, a compromise was reached. Instead of using either Hydrogen, or Oxygen as the standard, the isotope of Carbon<span> with 6 </span>protons<span> and 6 neutrons in its nucleus (</span>Carbon-12<span>) was given a mass of exactly 12.</span>

Answer:

Wind

Explanation:

Most conifers and about 12% of the world's flowering plants are wind-pollinated. Wind pollinated plants include grasses and their cultivated cousins, the cereal crops, many trees, the infamous allergenic ragweeds, and others. All release billions of pollen grains into the air so that a lucky few will hit their targets.

Katena32 [7]

Complete Question:

Suppose a cobalt atom in the +3 oxidation state formed a complex with two bromide (Br-) anions and four ammonia (NH3) molecules. write the chemical formula of this complex.

Answer:

[Co(NH₃)₄]⁺Br₂

Explanation:

The cobalt atom with +3 oxidation is represented as Co⁺³, and if it's bonded to two bromide ions, and four ammonia molecules. The molecules that are bonded to the metal atom (Co) are called complexing agents.

In the representation, we first put the molecules that surround the metal atom, forming an anion with the oxidation of the metal:

[Co(NH₃)₄]⁺³

Then, the ions are put in the formula. Because there are two bromides ion, each one with 1 minus charge, only 2 plus charged will be neutralized, and the complex will be:

[Co(NH₃)₄]⁺Br₂

Explain why an atom does not have a charge.
Leno4ka [110]

Answer: An atom does not have a charge because, protons have a +1 charge and electrons have a -1 charge. The number of protons is equals the number of electrons so the charges balance out to a neutral charge leaving the atom to not have an overall charge.
