<u>Answer:</u> The atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons and an atom with 6 protons and 7 neutrons are the isotopes of same element.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Isotopes are defined as the chemical species that belong to the same element but differ in their mass number.

This also means that the chemical species have same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons.

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

From the given options:

The elements having same number of protons will be the isotopes of same element.

Hence, the atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons and an atom with 6 protons and 7 neutrons are the isotopes of same element.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

since Mg has a charge of +2 and ClO3 has a charge of 1-, you need 2 ClO3 to cancel out the +2 since 2 ClO3 ions would have a 2- charge

Carmel forms when table sugar c12h22o11, reacts with oxygen. what elements make up carmel
Natasha_Volkova [10]
The reaction of sugar with oxygen is as follows:

C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ + 12 O₂ → 12 CO₂ + 11 H₂O

When in the presence of pure oxygen, sucrose (table sugar) will not form caramel, in fact it will combust into carbon dioxide and water like any other carbohydrate.

Caramel is actually formed by slowly heating sucrose to high temperatures of around 170 °C resulting in thermal decomposition. This essentially removes molecules of water from the sucrose which results in the compound isomerizing and eventually polymerizing to form caramel. The chemical make up of caramel is the same as sucrose, so it will still be composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
