<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.

Remical Reactions 8.P.13 1 8 of 40
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

H₂O + CO₂      →    H₂CO₃

Option D is correct.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to this law, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by French chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Now we will apply this law to given chemical equations:

A) H₂ + O₂   →    H₂O

There are two H and two O atoms present on left side while on right side only one O and two H atoms are present so mass in not conserved. This option is incorrect.

B) Mg + HCl   →   H₂ + MgCl₂

In this equation one Mg, one H and one Cl atoms are present on left side of equation while on right side two H, one Mg and two chlorine atoms are present. This equation also not follow the law of conservation of mass.

C) KClO₃      →     KCl + O₂

There are one K, one Cl and three O atoms are present on left side of equation while on right side one K one Cl and two oxygen atoms are present. This equation also not following the law of conservation of mass.

D)  H₂O + CO₂      →    H₂CO₃

There are two hydrogen, one carbon and three oxygen atoms are present on both side of equation thus, mass remain conserved. This option is correct.

The isotope 106 46Pd (106 on top and 46 on bottom)
vazorg [7]

Answer:

4. 60 neutrons.

Explanation:

The given isotopes;

         ¹⁰⁶₄₆Pd

In this isotope, we can deduce that the mass number is the superscript and the atomic number is the subscript;

     Mass number  = 106

     Atomic number  = 46

Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom;

       Mass number = Protons + neutrons

Atomic number is the number of protons

   

So,  Number of protons  = 46

Number of neutrons  = Mass number  - Atomic number

                                    = 106  - 46

                                     = 60

Number of neutrons  = 60
