What does the atomic weight of an element represent

Chemistry
1 answer:
Marrrta [24]3 years ago
7 0

The nuclei of atoms also contain neutrons, which help hold the nucleus together. ... The total weight of an atom is called the atomic weight. It is approximately equal to the number of protons and neutrons, with a little extra added by the electrons.


The mass of a given atom, measured on a scale in which the hydrogen atom has the weight of one. Because most of the mass in an atom is in the nucleus, and each proton and neutron has an atomic weight near one, the atomic weight is very nearly equal to the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

Niobium-91 has a half-life of 680 years. After 2,040 years, how much niobium-91 will remain from a 300.0-g sample? 3 g 18.75 g 3
Vadim26 [7]
Amount of Niobium-91 initially
= 300/91 =3.2967mol
2040 years = 3 ×680 = 3 half-lives
therefore, amount left = 0.4121mol
mass of Niobium-91 remaining = 0.4121 ×91 =37.5g

Explain why HCl can be a strong electrolyte, but a dilute HCl solution can be a poor conductor?
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Because as the concentration is diminished, the capacity to transfer electricity is diminished as well.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since electrolytes are substances that are able to conduct the electricity in aqueous media (solutions in which water is the the solvent) because they have the capacity to form ions with both positive and negative charges, due to the fact that HCl is a strong acid, we notice it is fully ionized in solution and therefore it is a strong electrolyte. However, when the concentration is diminished, we can notice that strength is diminished as well because less ions will have the capacity to transfer the electricity and therefore it'd become a poor conductor or weak electrolyte.

Best regards!

Write a scientific explanation that compares the electrical forces of ethanol, hexane, and water.
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

"Water and ethyl alcohol will both have dipole-dipole interactions.

Technically they will both have Hydrogen bonding, which is a type of dipole-dipole. This is due to the high electronegativity values of oxygen atoms compared to the carbon and hydrogen atoms the oxygens bond to. This causes regions of both of these molecules that have partial negative charges and other regions wind up with partial positive charges.

Hexane will not have any dipole-dipole interactions because it is a non-polar molecule. The intermolecular forces between hexane molecules will be dispersion forces."

Explanation:

Here is the place I found the answer:  https://socratic.org/questions/which-of-these-structures-has-dipole-dipole-interactions-water-h2o-ethyl-alcohol

All of this answer belongs to that person. I do not own any of this information.
