What statement is true about isotopes?

Chemistry
1 answer:
ipn [44]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

D. THEY HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF PROTONS AND ELECTRONS BUT DIFFERENT NUMBERS OF NEUTRONS.

Explanation:

Isotopy is the phenomenon that explains the various variants of an element having different number of neutrons but the same number of protons and electrons.

Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element that possesses the same number of proton or atomic number but different mass number. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons and electrons contained by the element while the mass number is the sum total of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the elements.

Examples of isotopes are the hydrogen atom, chlorine element and so on.

Hydrogen has three isotopes which are hydrogen H, Deuterium and Tritium. Chlorine has two isotopes which are chlorine 35 and chlorine 37.

So the true options about isotopes is that they possess the same number of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrins.

What is the name for a substance made of billions of oppositely charged ions<br> joined together?
bija089 [108]

Answer:

Ionic substance

Explanation:

An ionic substance is formed when oppositely charged ions link up to form an infinitely large lattice structure that can only be described in terms of unit cells.

Ionic substances may consist of billions of oppositely charged ions. Ionic substances are hard, have high melting and boiling points and do not conduct electricity in the solid state because the ions are not free in the solid state.

However, in solution or molten state, the substance conducts electricity since the ions which are the charge carriers are now mobile.

Equation for questions 1-4:
Karolina [17]

Answer:

5.625 moles of oxygen, O₂.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

4Al + 3O₂ —> 2Al₂O₃

From the balanced equation above,

4 moles of Al reacted with 3 moles of O₂.

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of O₂ required to react with 7.5 moles of aluminum, Al. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

4 moles of Al reacted with 3 moles of O₂.

Therefore, 7.5 moles of Al will react with = (7.5 × 3)/4 = 5.625 moles of O₂.

Thus, 5.625 moles of O₂ is needed for the reaction.

Gallium has two naturally occurring isotopes: 69ga with a mass of 68.9256 amu and a natural abundance of 60.11% and 71ga. use th
Nataly [62]

There are two naturally occurring isotopes of gallium:  mass of Ga-69 isotope is 68.9256 amu and its percentage abundance is 60.11%, let the mass of other isotope that is Ga-71 be X, the percentage abundance can be calculated as:

%Ga-71=100-60.11=39.89%

Atomic mass of an element is calculated by taking sum of atomic masses of its isotopes multiplied by their percentage abundance.

Thus, in this case:

Atomic mass= m(Ga-69)×%(Ga-69)+X×%(Ga-71)

From the periodic table, atomic mass of Ga is 69.723 amu.

Putting the values,

69.723 amu=(68.9256 amu)(\frac{60.11}{100})+X(\frac{39.89}{100})

Thus,

69.723 amu=41.4312 amu+X(\frac{39.89}{100})

Rearranging,

X=\frac{69.723 amu-41.4312 amu}{0.3989}=70.9246 amu

Therefore, mass of Ga-71 isotope is 70.9246 amu.
