Answer:
The correct answer is because they have same number of protons but different number of neutrons.
Explanation:
Isotopes are atoms of the same element but differ only in the number of neutrons in the nucleus, i.e. they have same atomic number but different mass number.
Mass number is affected as they have different number of neutrons, thus effecting their physical properties.
The number of electrons and protons are same, i.e. their atomic number is same and thus their chemical properties are same as chemical properties are determined by the atom’s electronic configuration and that relates to number of protons.
Answer:
The possible valances can be determined by electron configuration and electron negativity
Good Luck even though this was asked 2 weeks ago
Explanation:
All atoms strive for stability. The optima electron configuration is the electron configuration of the VIII A family or inert gases.
Look at the electron configuration of the nonmetal and how many more electrons the nonmetal needs to achieve the stable electron configuration of the inert gases. Non metals tend to be negative in nature and gain electrons. ( They are oxidizing agents)
For example Florine atomic number 9 needs one more electron to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Flowrine has a valance of -1
Oxygen atomic number 8 needs two more electrons to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Oxygen has a valance charge of -2.
Non metals with a low electron negativity will lose electrons when reacting with another non metal that has a higher electron negativity. When the non metal forms an ion it is necessary to look at the electron structure to determine how many electrons the element can lose to gain stability.
For example Chlorine which is normally -1 like Florine when it combines with oxygen can be +1, +3, + 5 or +7. It can lose its one unpaired electron, or combinations of the unpaired electron and sets of the three pairs of electrons.
Answer:
Pb3O4
Explanation:
According to this question, 3.425g of lead oxide was reduced to form 3.105g of lead in an experiment. Since lead oxide contains both lead (Pb) and oxygen (O) element,
Mass of lead oxide = 3.425g
Mass of lead = 3.105g
Mass of oxygen = (3.425g - 3.105g) = 0.320g
Next, we convert each mass value to mole by dividing by respective molar mass
Pb = 3.105g ÷ 207.2 = 0.0149mol
O = 0.320g ÷ 16 = 0.02mol
Next, we divide each mole value by the smallest (0.0149)
Pb = 0.0149mol ÷ 0.0149mol = 1
O = 0.02mol ÷ 0.0149mol = 1.342
Multiply each ratio value by 3 to get:
Pb = 1 × 3 = 3
O = 1.342 × 3 = 4.026
The whole number ratio, approximately, of Pb and O is 3:4, hence, their empirical formula is Pb3O4.
