The isotopes of a particular element behave differently in nuclear reactions but the same in chemical reactions because the nuclear reactions involve changes to protons and neutrons in an atom and isotopes differ in neutrons and so they react differently to nuclear changes. While for chemical reactions, the electrons in an atom are involved but the isotopes do not differ in electrons and so they react the same way during chemical changes.
Answer: Option A & C
<u>Explanation:</u>
The reactants of chemical and nuclear reactions are different. The reactants of chemical reactions are the electrons present in the outermost shell of the reactants, while the reactants of nuclear reactions are either the nuclei of reactants or a nuclei and any subatomic particles of other reactants.
Thus it can be understood that chemical reactions consider the electrons while nuclear reactions consider the nuclei or the number of protons and neutrons of the reactants.
The isotopes of elements contain different mass number or we can say different number of neutrons but the number of electrons are same, so they behave differently in nuclear reactions and similar in chemical reactions.
Answer:
In an ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, In which the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.
Explanation:
.42; 3.4 divided by 8.1 is about .42
Answer:
The atomic mass of gallium (Ga) = <u>69.723 g/mol</u>
Explanation:
Given: Two isotopes of Gallium (Ga) are Gallium-69 (⁶⁹Ga) and Gallium-71 (⁷¹Ga)
<u>For ⁶⁹Ga: </u>
Relative abundance = 60.12% = 60.12 ÷ 100 = 0.6012; Atomic mass = 68.9257 g/mol
<u>For ⁷¹Ga:</u>
Relative abundance = 39.88% = 39.88 ÷ 100 = 0.3988; Atomic mass = 70.9249 g/mol
∴ The atomic mass of Ga = (Relative abundance of ⁶⁹Ga × Atomic mass of ⁶⁹Ga) + (Relative abundance of ⁷¹Ga × Atomic mass of ⁷¹Ga)
⇒ Atomic mass of Ga = (0.6012 × 68.9257 g/mol) + (0.3988 × 70.9249 g/mol) = <u>69.723 g/mol</u>
<u>Therefore, the atomic mass of gallium (Ga) = 69.723 g/mol</u>
Answer:
Hydrogen
Explanation:
Just to provide some background, an element is a pure substance consisting of only one type of atom. An atom is the smallest constituent of matter. All elements are comprised of a single type of atom (e.g., gold is composed of gold atoms, helium of helium atoms, phosphorus phosphorus, and so on).
A molecule is a group of two or more atoms. They can be the same atom (homonuclear), such as or different atoms (heteronuclear).
Some examples of homonuclear molecules include:
Hydrogen (H2)
Nitrogen (N2)
Phosphorus (P4)
Some examples of heteronuclear molecules include:
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
Methane (CH4)
