Researchers tested a meteorite for organic molecules containing 13C and 15N, which are carbon and nitrogen atoms with one extra

neutron. However, a skeptic questions whether these "heavy" carbon and nitrogen isotopes would readily bond to make organic molecules such as amino acids and nitrogenous bases. Would extra neutrons affect the bonding of heavy carbon and nitrogen atoms?
1.Yes, extra neutrons would make carbon and nitrogen more likely to bond.
2.No, because only electrons are involved in bonding.
3.No, because the number of protons remains the same.
4.Yes. Atoms with extra neutrons must also have extra electrons, which would affect bonding.

Answer:

The correct option is  2.No, because only electrons are involved in bonding.

Explanation:

The type of bond formed by carbon and nitrogen (carbon-nitrogen bond) is covalent bond

Also known as molecular bond, a covalent bond involves the sharing of pairs of electrons (known as bonding pairs or shared pairs) between the carbon and nitrogen atoms forming stable, balanced forces in attraction and repulsion as they share common electrons in their compounds.

This electron sharing covalent bond is what enables the formation of the several compounds between carbon and nitrogen for example, in an amine, nitrogen which has five electrons, has two remaining electrons that forms a lone pair whereby it can combine further with other elements.

Hence the factor that influences the bonds to make the numerous organic molecules is the available electrons which constitutes the shared electron pairs in covalent bonds while the neutrons which function is to keep the repulsive forces of positively charged protons from ripping the nucleus apart.

How is an elements outer electron configuration related to its position in the periodic table?
Umnica [9.8K]
Well, if you look at group 1 of the periodic table, you will notice a thrend. All elements in group 1 have 1 valence / outer electron. Then you look at period 2, 3, 4 and so on, you will see that the group number corresponds the number of valence/ outershell electrons. Hence, the group determines the electron(s) on the outershell.

Rhodium-101 has a half life of 3.3 years. What percent of the sample will remain after 6.6 years?
babunello [35]

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

Half life means that 50% of the sample is gone at 3.3 years. This means that an additional 3.3 years (total 6.6 years) will reduce the sample a further 50% from the point at 3.3 years. In numbers, this means 50% of 50% (0.50*0.50), which is 25%.

You heat 3.869 g of a mixture of fe3o4 and feo to form 4.141 g fe2o3. What is the mass of oxygen reacted?
Lostsunrise [7]

The reaction is  

FeO + Fe3O4 + 1/2 O2---> 2Fe2O3

Thus as shown in the balanced equation two moles of Fe2O3 are formed when 0.5 moles of O2 reacted with mixture of FeO and Fe3O4

moles of Fe2O3 = MAss / Molar mass = 4.141 / 159.69 = 0.0259 moles

So moles of O2 needed = 0.5 X 0.0259 = 0.01295

Mass of O2 = moles X molar mass = 0.01295 X 32 = 0.4144 grams
