Chlorine react vigorously with hydrogen in the present of sunlight because chlorine has a great attraction for hydrogen's electron. During the reaction, chlorine and hydrogen will donate one electron each from their valence electrons which will be shared equally by both elements, thus forming a covalent bond.
The branched structure isomer will require less energy to melt than the straight chain isomer
explanation
Branched structure isomer has weak intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to straight chain isomers. In addition the branched isomer has a low boiling point as compared to straight chain isomers. Since boiling require the of the intermolecular forces tend to have lower boiling point than straight chain
Answer:
Its in the Explanation
Explanation:
Here's what I got.
Aluminium-27 is an isotope of aluminium characterized by the fact that is has a mass number equal to
27
.
Now, an atom's mass number tells you the total number of protons and of neutrons that atom has in its nucleus. Since you're dealing with an isotope of aluminum, it follows that this atom must have the exact same number of protons in its nucleus.
The number of protons an atom has in its nucleus is given by the atomic number. A quick looks in the periodic table will show that aluminum has an atomic number equal to
13
.
This means that any atom that is an isotope of aluminum will have
13
protons in its nucleus.
Since you're dealing with a neutral atom, the number of electrons that surround the nucleus must be equal to the number of protons found in the nucleus.
Therefore, the aluminium-27 isotope will have
13
electrons surrounding its nucleus.
Finally, use the known mass number to determine how many neutrons you have

Your welcome :)
If you only want to balance nuclear reactions, then you should know that number of nucleons are conserved before and after nuclear reaction. Also, charge is conserved as well.
Other things which are conserved in a nuclear reaction are:
Conservation of:
1. Parity
2. Spin
3. angular momentum(vector sum of intrinsic spin and orbital angular momentum)
4. linear momentum
5. Isotopic spin
6. Energy
Yes and no because it's important for a citizen to have a grasp on chemistry but you do not need it to be a politician
