Answer:

It would be an isotope.

Background Information:

Isotopes are typically elements that have a different number of protons than neutrons. The atomic mass is the total number of protons and neutrons. The atomic number is the number of protons.

Explanation:

If the atomic number is the number of protons that means that this particular element has 8 protons. If the atomic mass is the total number of protons and neutrons then we can simply take away the amount of protons from that number, 18 - 8 = 10. If we take protons away from the number of protons and neutrons we are left with the number of neutrons. So there are 10 neutrons. Because there are 8 protons and 10 neutrons, or a different amount of neutrons and protons we know that this particular atom is an isotope.

A 6.1-kg solid sphere, made of metal whose density is 2600 kg/m3, is suspended by a cord. When the sphere is immersed in a liqui
deff fn [24]

Answer:

Density of the liquid = 1470.43 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of solid sphere(m) = 6.1 kg

Density of the metal = 2600 kg/m³

Thus volume of the liquid :

Volume(V)=\frac{Mass(m)}{Density (\rho)}

Volume of the sphere = 6.1 kg/2600 kg/m³ = 0.002346 m³

The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of sphere (Archimedes' principle)

Volume displaced = 0.002346 m³

Buoyant force =\rho\times gV

Where

\rho is the density of the fluid

g is the acceleration due to gravity

V is the volume displaced

The free body diagram of the sphere is shown in image.

According to image:

mg=\rho\times gV+T

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 ms⁻²

Tension force = 26 N

Applying in the equation to find the density of the liquid as:

6.1\times 9.81=\rho\times 9.81\times 0.002346+26

33.841=\rho\times 9.81\times 0.002346

\rho=\frac{33.841}{9.81\times 0.002346}

\rho=1470.43 kgm^3

<u>Thus, the density of the liquid = 1470.43 kg/m³</u>

The lattice energy of a salt is related to the energy required to separate the ions. For which of the following pairs of ions is
Kay [80]

Answer: The Lattice energy is the energy required to separate an ionic solid into its component gaseous ions <em>or</em>

It is the energy released when gaseous ions combine to form an ionic solid.

Explanation:

The lattice energy depends on the ionization energies and electron affinities of atoms involved in the formation of the compound. The ionization energies and electron affinities also depends on the ionic radius and charges of the ions involved. As the ionic radius for cations <em>increases</em> down the groups, ionization energy <em>decreases</em>, whereas, as ionic radii <em>decreases</em> across the periods , ionization energy <em>increases</em>. The trend observed for anions is that as ionic radii <em>increase </em>down the groups, electron affinity <em>decreases. </em>Across the period, as ionic radii <em>increases</em> electron affinity <em>increases</em>. Also, as the charge on the ion <em>increases,</em> it leads to an <em>increase</em> in energy requirement/content.

Therefore, for compounds formed from cations  and anions in the same period, the highest charged cation and anion will have the highest lattice energy. For example, among the following compounds: Al2O3 (aluminium oxide), AlCl3 (aluminium chloride), MgO, MgCl2 (magnesium chloride), NaCl, Na2O (sodium oxide); Al2O3(aluminium oxide) will have the highest lattice energy, thus will be hardest to break apart because its ions have the highest charge.
