Answer:

If an atom were to gain or lose neutrons it becomes an isotope. ... If it gains a neutron it become an isotope called deuterium. Since the atomic mass is the total of the number of protons and neutrons, an isotope would have a different atomic mass, but the same atomic number as the original atom

How many places are there for electrons in the third shell of an atom?
Dafna1 [17]
Each shell can contain only a fixed number of electrons: The first shell can hold up to two electrons, the second shell can hold up to eight (2 + 6) electrons, the third shell can hold up to18 (2 + 6 + 10) and so on. The general formula is that the nth shell can in principle hold up to 2(n2) electrons.

A first-order reaction has a half-life of 16.7 s . How long does it take for the concentration of the reactant in the reaction t
andrew11 [14]

It takes 33.4 s for the concentration of A to fall to one-fourth of its original value.

A <em>half-life</em> is the time it takes for the concentration to fall to half its original value.

Assume the initial concentration is 1.00 mol/L. Then,

\text{1.00 mol/L }\stackrel{\text{1st half-life }}{\longrightarrow}\text{ 0.50 mol/L } \stackrel{\text{ 2nd half-life }}{\longrightarrow}\text{0.25 mol/L}\\

The concentration drops to one-fourth of its initial value in two half-lives.

∴ Time = 2 × 16.7 s = 33.4 s
