Answer:
- The standard form of a chemical element is the natural mixture of several isotopes of the same element, which is atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons, while an isotope is a particular kind of atom with a definite number of neutrons.
Explanation:
A <em>chemical element</em> is a pure substance formed by atoms with the same atomic number (number of protons). This is because it is the number of protons what identifies an element.
For example: oxygen is a chemical element, so oxygen is formed by only atoms of oxygen, and the atomic number of those atoms is 8, because every oxygen atom has 8 protons.
Nevertheless, some atoms of oxygen, may have different number of neutrons. Isotopes are different kind of atoms of the same element, which only differ in the number of neutrons. So, some atoms of oxygen will have 8 neutrons, other 9 neutrons, and other 10 neutrons (those are the stable isotopes of oxygen).
That difference in neutrons, is generally accepted that, does not modifiy substantially the chemical properties of the element, but the mass number. So, the isotopes with more neutrons wil be heavier, and the isotopes with less neutrons will be lighter.
- Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons.
In general a chemical element is formed by a mixutre of isotopes of the same element.
<span>This type of salt is called a hydrated salt. This specific salt is called Cobalt (II) chloride hexahydrate. Hydrated salts is a salt has a number of water molecules associated with the ions in its crystalline structure.</span>
Answer:
-6.4x10⁻¹⁹ C
Explanation:
The elementary charge of one electron is -1.60x10⁻¹⁹C, so each electron has its charge, and a sample with more than one electrons will have a multiple of its charge, which is proportional to the number of electrons. So, if the oil droplet had 4 electrons, thus the charge will be four times the elementary charge:
4*(-1.60x10⁻¹⁹) C = -6.4x10⁻¹⁹ C
The traditional method is to heat the compound in an oven, on a hot plate or over a Bunsen burner. Waters of hydration are loosely bound in the compound and can be driven off at temperatures below the melting point of the compound. So the answer is heating.
