Answer: c.They have a unique set of properties that can be used as identifiers.
Explanation:
Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.
Compounds can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.
Example: Water
Compounds have different properties than the elements it is made up of.
Thus the most accurate description of compounds is that they have a unique set of properties that can be used as identifiers.
What’s the question Bc I don’t understand what u are trying to ask
<u>Answer:</u> The mass of second isotope of indium is 114.904 amu
<u>Explanation:</u>
Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.
Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:
.....(1)
Let the mass of isotope 2 of indium be 'x'
Mass of isotope 1 = 112.904 amu
Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 4.28 %
Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.0428
Mass of isotope 2 = x amu
Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = [100 - 4.28] = 95.72 %
Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.9572
Average atomic mass of indium = 114.818 amu
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
Hence, the mass of second isotope of indium is 114.904 amu
