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

Answer:

Its mass is lowered, but it is still the same element.

Explanation:

When the atom loses a<em> neutron</em>, it still remains as the same <em>element</em>. The only thing that would change is the <em>mass.</em>

Why does electronegativity increase as you move from left to right across
Katen [24]

Answer: increasing number of protons increases the positive charge of the nucleus.

Explanation: because as the electronegativity moves from left to right on the periodic table the protons do increase to make it into a positive charge.

A 30.7 g sample of Strontium nitrate, Sr(NO3)2•nH2O, is heated to a constant mass of 22.9 g. Calculate the hydration number.
Elodia [21]

Answer:

  • <em>Hydration number:</em> 4

Explanation:

<u>1) Mass of water in the hydrated compound</u>

Mass of water = Mass of the hydrated sample - mass of the dehydrated compound

Mass of water = 30.7 g - 22.9 g = 7.8 g

<u>2) Number of moles of water</u>

  • Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

  • molar mass of H₂O = 2×1.008 g/mol + 15.999 g*mol = 18.015 g/mol

  • Number of moles of H₂O = 7.9 g / 18.015 g/mol = 0.439 mol

<u>3) Number of moles of Strontium nitrate dehydrated, Sr (NO₃)₂</u>

  • The mass of strontium nitrate dehydrated is the constant mass obtained after heating = 22.9 g

  • Molar mass of Sr (NO₃)₂ :  211.63 g/mol (you can obtain it from a internet or calculate using the atomic masses of each element from a periodic table).

  • Number of moles of Sr (NO₃)₂ = 22.9 g / 211.63 g/mol =  0.108 mol

<u>4) Ratio</u>

  • 0.439 mol H₂O / 0.108 mol Sr(NO₃)₂ ≈  4 mol H₂O : 1 mol Sr (NO₃)₂

Which means that the hydration number is 4.

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The major difference between distance and displacement is that distance is a scalar quantity while displacement is a vector quantity. Scalar quantities have magnitude without direction while vector quantities have both magnitude and direction.

The distance covered by Benjamina in both cases just refer to the difference in her position at each time without reference to the direction in which she changed her position.

Her displacement will clearly mention the direction in which she moved both when she walked to the front door of her apartment and when she walked to a friend's apartment.
