A) Z + 4

In the actual atom, half of the nucleus would be protons and the other half neutrons, hence the 2z. The additional four in the expression must be neutrons because adding protons would change the element all together.

Answer:

A) Z+4

Explanation:

Atomic number of the isotope = Z

Mass number of the isotope = 2Z+4.

Atomic number = Number of protons in the atom = Number of electrons in the atom

Mass number = Number of protons in the atom + Number of neutrons in the atom

Hence number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons

= 2Z + 4 - Z = Z + 4

Hence the required answer to the question is represented by option A which is Z + 4.

Not all of the water falls as rain, snow,or sleet evaporates. What happens to the rest of the water?
Bumek [7]
Hi there! All of the water returns to the atmosphere, it's called evapotranspiration and condenses. And then the water falls back to the Earth's surface and starts the cycle all over again. If you don't know what I mean, it's the Water Cycle.

Consider a solution made from a nonvolatile solute and a volatile solvent. Which statement is true?
34kurt

Answer:

b) The boiling point of the solution is always greater than the boiling point of the pure solvent.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, when we add a nonvolatile solute to a volatile solvent which has a relatively low boiling point, we can evidence the increase of the boiling point of the resulting solution as more energy must be supplied to take the molecules from liquid to gas. This fact matches with the boiling point elevation colligative property due to the solute's addition, which states that the boiling point of the solution is always greater than the boiling point of the pure solvent, therefore, answer is b).

Best regards.
