What is the main difference between an isotope and an ion?

I believe the answer is D. An ion always has a positive or a negative charge. An Ion is an atom with net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons. An isotope is each of two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their neutron, thus they differ in relative atomic mass but not in chemical properties.

Answer:

The answer is NOT C. I took the test and got it wrong.

Explanation:

<em>An ion always has a positive or a negative charge is the main difference between an isotope and an ion.</em>

when an atom wants to become stable it will give the less amount of valence electrons because it takes too much energy to take 5 or 6 electrons etc. others it takes too much energy to give away 5 or 6 electrons.

The correct answer to your question would be answer D.

Hope this helps you in the future!!!!

If a system performs 147 kJ of work while receiving 47 kJ of heat, what is change in its internal energy?
Verdich [7]

Answer:

-100 kJ

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying the first law of thermodynamics, which states that:

\Delta U = Q-W

where:

\Delta U is the change in internal energy of a system

Q is the heat absorbed/released by the system (it is positive if absorbed by the system, negative if released by the system)

W is the work done by the system (it is positive if done by the system, negative if done on the system)

For the system in this problem we have:

W = +147 kJ is the work done by the system

Q = +47 kJ is the heat absorbed by the system

So , its change in internal energy is:

\Delta U = +47 - (+147) =-100 kJ

How can you tell a chemical change has happened?
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

How can I tell if a chemical reaction is occurring? A chemical reaction is usually accompanied by easily observed physical effects, such as the emission of heat and light, the formation of a precipitate, the evolution of gas, or a color change.

In an acid-base neutralization reaction 43.74 ml of 0.500 m potassium hydroxide reacts with 50.00 ml of sulfuric acid solution.
timama [110]
The   neutralization reaction between  potassium  hydroxide  and  sulfuric  acid   is  as  follows
2KOH  +  H2SO4 ---> K2SO4  +  2H2O

number  of   moles  of  KOH=  (43.74  x  0.500)/  1000=  0.02187 moles

the  reacting ratio  of  KOH  to H2SO4  is  2:1  therefore  the   moles  of  H2SO4  is  =  0.021187/2=  0.01094 moles

concentration(molarity) = ( 0.01094/50 ) x 1000=  0.2188M

If the pressure of a 2.00 L sample of gas is 50.0 kPa, what pressure does the gas exert if its volume is decreased to 20.0 mL? W
Ostrovityanka [42]

To solve this we assume that the gas is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant temperature and number of moles of the gas the product of PV is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

 

P1V1 =P2V2

P2 = P1V1/V2

P2 = 50 kPa x 2 L / .02 L

<span>P2 = 5000 kPa</span>
