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>

Korolek [52]

Answer: Pt(Cl)2(NH3)2

Explanation:

In the formation of the complex, the oxidation number of platinum is plus two (+2) and two chloride ions cancel it out by their oxidation number of -1 each. Hence the complex has an overall charge of zero. It is thus neutral with no charge attached to its formula.

Jobisdone [24]

Answer: Burning changes the chemical make up of an object.

Explanation:

A chemical change can be defined as a change in the substance when it combines with other kind of substance to form a new substance. A chemical change can also occur when a substance is broken down into two or more products. These changes cannot be reversed. These changes affect the physical make up of an object. For example, burning as when an object is burned it cannot be transformed into its original form. A wood if burned can be converted into ash, water and carbon dioxide cannot regain its original form after burning so burning brings about chemical change in an object.
