Answer:

12

Explanation:

If you look at the periodic table, you can see that magnesium has an atomic mass of 24.305.  Subtract the number of protons from this to get neutrons.

24.305 - 12 = 12.305

12.305 is the average amount of neutrons a magnesium atom can have.  A magnesium atom can have 12, 13, or 14 neutrons.  The average, based on the natural abundance, is 12.305.  To find which isotope is more abundant, you need to pick the number that is closest to the average.  This would make the most abundant isotope the one with 12 neutrons.

Compounds Lab Report
lukranit [14]

Name and Title:

Colleen DeBruin, Hillary Mulkavits, 11/18/2020, compounds lab.

Objectives(s):

to build chemical compounds from known elements

Hypothesis:

if I use oxygen hydrogen and carbon then I can make five new compounds in four minutes

Procedure:

The materials and procedures are listed in your virtual lab. You do not need to repeat them here. However, you should note if you experienced any errors or other factors that might affect your outcome. Using your summary questions at the end of your virtual lab activity, please clearly define the dependent and independent variables of the experiment.

Data:

Record the composition of each of your compounds below. Be sure to include the number of atoms for each element. An example has been supplied for you.

Compound Name Chemical Formula Sodium (Na) Atoms Calcium (Ca) Atoms Hydrogen (H) Atoms Oxygen (O) Atoms Carbon (C) Atoms Chlorine (Cl) Atoms

Ex: Sodium

hypochlorite NaClO 1 0 0 1 0 1

Water H20 o 0 1 2 0 0

Glucose C6H12O6 0 0 12 6 6 0

Formic/methanoic acid HCOOH 0 0 2 2 1 0

Butanoic Acid C3H7COOH 0 0 8 2 4 0

Carbon Dioxide C02 0 0 0 2 1 0

Carbon Monoxide CO 0 0 0 1 1 0

Fructose C6H12O6 0 0 12 6 6 0

0 0 0

0 0 0

0 0 0

Conclusion:

Your conclusion will include a summary of the lab results and an interpretation of the results. Please answer all questions in complete sentences using your own words.

I found as many combinations of carbon hydrogen and oxygen as possible

If there is a job that combines elements you would be doing that every day making it an every day matter

elements are like people, they are all different causing them to react differently and be more reactive

H20 has four because there are 2 oxygen and one hydrogen because of the numbers in the name of the compound

Yes because two elements can form two different types of bonds causing different outcomes

If this isn't right I'm sorry but I had it as an assignment so we will get it wrong together lol
