Here’s a simplified explanation.
The <em>protons</em> in the nucleus <em>repel each other</em>. The <em>neutrons provide the “glue”</em> that holds the nucleus together and prevents it from flying apart.
The “glue” is the strong nuclear force. It is strong but extremely short range. It falls off extremely rapidly as the p-n distance increases.
A <em>neon atom</em> has 10 protons. There are three stable isotopes, with 10, 11, and 12 neutrons.
With fewer than 10 protons, the glue is not strong enough to hold the nucleus together.
If there are more than 12 neutrons, the average p-n distance is great enough that the glue has again become too weak.
<em>Gold</em> has one stable isotope. It contains 79 protons and 118 neutrons.
If there are fewer than 118 neutrons, the proton repulsions will be too strong for the strong force. If there are more than 118 neutrons, the average p-n distance will be large enough that the glue will again be too weak to hold the nucleus toge
ther.
Answer:
<u>H2PO4- is a proton donor and HPO42_ is a proton acceptor</u>
Explanation:
Step 1: What are hydrogen ion donor and acceptor
in the following reaction we see that:
⇒ H2PO4- is more likely to give a H+ ion to form HPO42-.
⇒HPO42- is more likely to take a H+ ion, to form H2PO4-
The reaction of an acid in water solvent is described as a dissociation
:
HA ⇔ H+ + A-
⇒where HA is a proton acid
So, H2PO4- = HA and HPO42- = A-
Acids are proton donors. So, <u>H2PO4- is a proton donor and HPO42_ is a proton acceptor</u>
Answer:
It basically messes up the results
Explanation:
Pen ink consists of resins, pigments and other colouring dyes dissolved in appropriate solvents like propylene glycol, propyl alcohol and some other ethers. If the ball point pen is used to mark on the chromatography paper then these pigments will also move along with the solvent and interfere with the spots of our analyte.
If you use a ball point pen when doing a chromatogram, then the ink would separate as it is a mixture and run down the paper.
Graphite, or pencil lead however, is not an organic material and therefore will not be affected by common organic solvents used for thin-layer chromatography. Pen ink on the other hand will be readily absorbed by the solvent and will move up the plate.

None because Covalent compounds don’t conduct electricity because they are formed between the non metal atoms by sharing of electrons. The Covalent compounds haves no free electrons and also no ions and hence they do not conduct electricity. That is why they do not conduct electricity.
