A and C

The isotopes of a particular element behave differently in nuclear reactions but the same in chemical reactions because the nuclear reactions involve changes to protons and neutrons in an atom and isotopes differ in neutrons and so they react differently to nuclear changes. While for chemical reactions, the electrons in an atom are involved but the isotopes do not differ in electrons and so they react the same way during chemical changes.

Answer: Option A & C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The reactants of chemical and nuclear reactions are different. The reactants of chemical reactions are the electrons present in the outermost shell of the reactants, while the reactants of nuclear reactions are either the nuclei of reactants or a nuclei and any subatomic particles of other reactants.

Thus it can be understood that chemical reactions consider the electrons while nuclear reactions consider the nuclei or the number of protons and neutrons of the reactants.

The isotopes of elements contain different mass number or we can say different number of neutrons but the number of electrons are same, so they behave differently in nuclear reactions and similar in chemical reactions.

The symbol of the period five element that is a member of the pnicitides family
Zepler [3.9K]

The symbol of the period five element that is a member of the pnicitides family are antimony.

Explanation:

Pnictogen family

  • In periodic table, column 15 elements are Pnitogen family.
  • The pnictogen elements are Nitrogen-N, arsenic-As, phosphorus-P, bismuth-Bi, antimony-Sb, ununpentium-Uup.    
  • There are five valence electrons each member of pnictogen family. In group 15 double bonds and triple bonds are formed due to these valence electrons.  
  • Pnictides, binary compounds of  group 15.

Antimony  

  • Antimony is the element found in period 5 and block p.
  • A chemical element, Antimony (Sb) from Latin word stibium and 51 is its atomic number. It is in solid state.
  • In ancient times, antimony compounds are used as cosmetic and medicine.
  • Appeared as semi metal.  
  • Electronic configurations of Sb is [Kr] 4d105s25p3.

What do you use to determine molar mass?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

the molar mass of any element can be determined by finding the atomic mass of the element on the periodic table for example, if the atomic mass of sulfer is 32.066 amu, then it's molar mass is 32.066 g / mol
