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

Chemistry
1 answer:
sergeinik [125]3 years ago
3 0
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>

What do the valence of electrons tell you?
9966 [12]

Answer:

valence electrons are the electrons that are located in the outermost electron shell of an element. Knowing how to find the number of valence electrons in a particular atom is an important skill for chemists because this information determines the kinds of chemical bonds that it can form and, therefore, the element's reactivity

How many molecules are there in 79g of Fe2O3?
weqwewe [10]
There are approximately 160 grams in 1 mol of fe203 molecules therefore there would be 79/160 = 0.49375 mols of fe203 molecules in 79 grams therefore 5 atoms in total for each molecule of fe203 therefore 79/160 *5 =79/32=2.46875 mols in atoms

What is the approximate value of the ccc bond angle in ch3ch2ch2oh
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The value of the carbon bond angles are 109.5 °

Explanation:

CH3CH2CH2OH = propanol . This is an alcohol.

All bonds here are single bonds.

Single bonds are sp³- hybdridization type. To be sp3 hybridized, it has an s orbital and three p orbitals : sp³. This refers to the mixing character of one 2s-orbital and three 2p-orbitals. This will  create four hybrid orbitals with similar characteristics.

Sp3- types have angles of 109.5 ° between the carbon - atoms.

This means that the value of the carbon bond angles are 109.5 °
