Answer:It might have 10 neutrons

Reason: This is because an isotope of the same element must have the same number of electrons and protons so it can be assumed that the amount of neutrons can be changed.

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons.
Masses of atoms are the sum of protons and neutrons. Therefore when the number of neutrons change but protons are the same, then the masses of the atoms change.
isotope 1 has 8 protons , 8 electrons and 8 neutrons.
isotope 2 has 8 protons, 8 electrons and 10 neutrons

mass of isotope 1 is 16
and mass of isotope 2 is 18

What portion of your salt solution in ice water system is: a. A mixture? b. A solution?
ahrayia [7]

The salt and water are a homogeneous mixture but when salt dissolves in the water system is called a solution of salt and water.

<h3>What is a mixture? </h3>

A mixture is defined as the combination of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded together.

There are two types of mixture which include:

  • Homogeneous (uniform composition) and

  • Heterogeneous mixtures

When salt is added to the ice water system, it lowers the freezing point of the ice water thereby forming a homogenous mixture of water and salt.

The dissolution of salt in ice water leads to the formation of salt and water solution.

A student is working on an assignment exploring the characteristics and uses of titanium. He notes in his assignment that it is
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Acknowledge the source of relative weight of titanium.

Explanation:

Titanium is a chemical element which durable form of metal. Titanium is 45% lighter than steel. Titanium is made by combination of multiple elements. Titanium is very difficult to extract and this is the reason this element is considered expensive. The students examining the titanium must record the weight of titanium before exploring the characteristics and properties.
