8 0

Think of it as a balloon when you pump air into it it grows bigger but, if you put too much air into it what happens it pops because the pressure was too much for the balloon to withhold. That's the same with a basketball when you pump air into it the pressure pushing on the material increases.

Naturally occurring neon exists as three isotopes. 90.51% is ne-20 with a mass of 19.99 amu, 0.27% is ne-21 with a mass of 20.99

gregori [183]

The atomic mass of an element is the average relative mass of its atoms as compared with an atom of carbon-12 whose mass is taken as 12. In terms of percentages of different isotopes, the average atomic mass can be determined as follows: $A_{average}$ = ∑( $p_{i}$ X $A_{i}$ )/100. Where, $p_{i}$ is the percentage abundance of isotope with atomic number $A_{i}$ .

So, average atomic mass of neon = $\frac{(90.51 X 19.99) + (0.27 X 20.99) + (9.22 X 21.99)}{100}$ = 20.177 amu.

What causes hydrogen bonds to rupture in ice

finlep [7]

As water is boiled, kinetic energy causes the hydrogen bonds to break completely and allows water molecules to escape into the air as gas (steam or water vapor). When water freezes, water molecules form a crystalline structure maintained by hydrogen bonding. Solid water, or ice, is less dense than liquid water.
