How are lead and plastic foam different?

Chemistry
2 answers:
ser-zykov [4K]3 years ago
6 0

Lead refers to a chemical element with atomic number 82. It is a heavy metal, which is denser in comparison to the majority of the common substances. It is malleable and soft and also exhibits a comparatively low melting point. On the other hand, a plastic foam refers to a lightweight cellular form, used mainly as packing material or for insulation.  

Lead is more resistant and heavier, while plastic foam is light and can easily be shattered. They both are completely distinct components with each possessing specific characteristics, and they both exhibit distinct textures. The main reason for their distinct characteristics is the difference in the atoms taking part in their compositions.

First and foremost, they are completely different substances with each exhibiting unique properties. Both have different atoms involved on their structures which is the cause of the differing properties.

The type of reaction of Fe2O3 + 2SiO2 → Fe2Si2O7 would be that it is a synthesis reaction. It is a type of chemical reaction in which two or more simple substances combine to form a more complex product. Hope this answers the question.

Why is the mass of the third subatomic particle ignored?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer: The mass of electrons is mostly ignored because electrons are extremely small compared to neutrons and protons.

Explanation: A proton is about 1,836 times the size of an electron.

On the periodic table, the atomic number for each element can be found. This number is found by measuring the weight of 6.02 x 10^23 atoms of the element in grams. Electrons aren't ignored when finding exact math, but for the sake of simplification high school teachers will generally have you only count the number of protons and neutrons when calculating the mass of atoms.
