As we know that sum of only total number of protons are also known as atomic number of an atom. And, the sum of total number of protons and neutrons is known as atomic mass of an atom.

Number of protons help in determining the identity of an atom whereas the number of neutrons can be same for two or more number of atoms. But the number of protons will remain the same for a particular atom and for its isotopes.

For example, tex]^{1}_{1}H[/tex] and $^{3}_{1}H$ are isotopes and each of them contains 1 proton.

thus, we can conclude that the number of protons in their nuclei would allow you to determine whether two atoms are of the same or different elements.

How come flowers usually contain more stamen the pistils

USPshnik [31]

<span>To make sure there are enough pollen to fertilize the seeds from the pistil. Not all pollen can make it to the pistil. It's the same as animals producing millions of sperms although only one is needed for fertilization.</span>

What reaction might we use to synthesize nickel sulfate,niso4? Write equations for acid base neutralization. Include states in y

il63 [147K]

Answer:

Here's what I get

Explanation:

1. Nickel sulfate

base + acid ⟶ salt + water

NiSO₄ is a salt of the base Ni(OH)₂ and the acid sulfuric acid.

Hydroxides of transition metals are insoluble; most sulfates are soluble.

$\underbrace{\hbox{Ni(OH)$_{2}$(s)}}_{\hbox{base}} + \underbrace{\hbox{H$_{2}$SO$_{4}$(aq)}}_{\hbox{acid}} \longrightarrow \, \underbrace{\hbox{NiSO$_{4}$(aq)}}_{\hbox{salt}} + \underbrace{\hbox{2H$_{2}$O(l)}}_{\hbox{water}}$

2. Carbonate + acid

Most carbonates are insoluble.

They react with acids to form carbonic acid (H₂CO₃), which decomposes into water and carbon dioxide.

$\rm NiCO_{3}(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \longrightarrow \, NiSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) + CO_{2}(g)$
