Answer:
hi! I'm pretty sure your answer is solvent!
Explanation:
not 100% sure but I looked it up on google. solvent does the dissolving, solute is what is being dissolved, and a solution is the solvent + the solute. hope this helped!
Answer:
Likely to gain electrons
Explanation:
The atom shown is likely to gain additional electrons to complete its electronic configuration.
- Since this is a neutral specie, the number of protons and electrons are the same.
- The atom has 16 electrons
- the number of valence electrons is 6
- If the atom gains two additional electrons, the octet configuration is attained
- Also, the atom can lose 6 electrons to become an octet
The atom will prefer to gain additional 2 electrons to give an octet configuration.
<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is isotopes generally have the same chemical properties, but often different nuclear properties.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Isotopes are defined as the chemical species of the same element which have same atomic number but differ in their mass number.
Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.
Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons
Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.
Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons
Nuclear properties of an element is determined by the number of protons and neutrons present in a nucleus.
Chemical properties of an element is determined by the number of electrons present in an atom.
Isotopes have same atomic number, this means that they have same number of protons and electrons but they differ in mass number, which means that they differ in number of neutrons.
Hence, isotopes will have same chemical properties but different nuclear properties.
