What is an isotope? How does one isotope differ from another isotope

Chemistry

Isotopes are different versions of a specific element.

Every atom/element is defined by its protons. So if it has 1 proton it's hydrogen no matter what, if it has 2 protons it's helium no matter what and so on. If you know the number of protons, you know the element.

You can change the number of neutrons in the nucleus and you'll get isotopes. Atoms that have different numbers of neutrons are isotopes of each other. It's important to understand that the element is the same but one is going to be a little bit heavier or lighter than another.

An isotope is an atom with a unique number of neutrons. Isotopes can differ from each other because of their number of neutrons.

Explain why most metals are malleable and ductile but ionic crystals are not
Dima020 [189]
Throughout the metallic structure allowing the atoms to slide past each other. This sliding is why metals are ductile and malleable. Ioniccompound must break bonds to slide past one another, which causes the ionic material to split and crack.

what is the molecular formula of a compound that contains 38% c, 45% n and 16% h if 0.157 g of the compound occupies 125 ml with
EastWind [94]

The molecular formula of the given compound is CH₅N.

<h3>What is the ideal gas equation?</h3>

The ideal gas law has defined the product of the volume and pressure as equal to the product of the gas constant (R) and absolute temperature of the gas.

The mathematical equation of the ideal gas law is as follows:

PV = nRT

The temperature of the compound, T =  22° C = 295 K

The pressure of the compound, P = 99.5 KPa = 0.982 atm

The volume of the compound, V = 125 ml = 0.125 L

0.125 × 0.982 = (0.157 g/M) × 0.082 ×295

M = 31 g/mol

A number of moles of C = 0.157 ×0.37/12  = 0.00484

A number of moles of N = 0.157 ×0.45/14  = 0.00504

A number of moles of H = 0.157 ×0.16/1  = 0.0251

The simplest ratio of C: N: H is 1 : 1 : 5

The empirical formula of the given compound is CH₅N.

The molecular formula of the compound is CH₅N as the molecular mass is equal to 31 g/mol.

A 5-kg quantity of radioactive isotope decays to 2 kg after 10 years. Find the decay constant of the isotope.k = _____
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

k = -0.09165 years^(-1)

Explanation:

The exponential decay model of a radioactive isotope is generally given as;

A(t) = A_o(e^(kt))

Where;

A_o is quantity of isotope before decay, k is decay constant and A(t) is quantity after t years

We are given;

A_o = 5 kg

A(10) = 2kg

t = 10 years

Thus;

A(10) = 2 = 5(e^(10k))

Thus;

2 = 5(e^(10k))

2/5 = (e^(10k))

0.4 = (e^(10k))

In 0.4 = 10k

-0.9164 = 10k

k = -0.9164/10

k = -0.09165 years^(-1)
