They are called isotopes.

Isotopes have the same number of electrons and protons in their unionized state. They differ in the number of neutrons. The first and simplest example is hydrogen.


The most common hydrogen has

1 proton

1 electron and

0 neutrons


It has 2 cousins

1 proton

1 electron

1 neutron

And

1 proton

1 electron

2 neutrons.


Most elements have some differences in the number of neutrons present in their nuclei. Cesium and Xenon have the most number of isotopes. Each has 36. You wonder how the atoms are held together.

protons determine what element it is, but there are still electrons and neutrons. if, for example, there are three protons in an atom, it's a lithium atom no matter what. however, if it has any more or any less than three electrons, it's an ion (an atom with a charge). if it has any more or any less than three neutrons, it's an isotope (which has a different mass than a normal atom of an element, and is also radioactive).

Suppose a student made a different sodium hydroxide solution using 0.401g of solid sodium hydroxide and 200mL of water. The stud
telo118 [61]

Answer:

0.05 M

Explanation:

Mass of benzoic acid= 0.158g

Volume of benzoic acid= 100 mL

Volume of sodium hydroxide = 27.84mL

Molar mass of benzoic acid= 122g/mol

Number of moles of benzoic acid= 0.158g/122g/mol= 1.3 × 10^-3 moles

C= no of moles/volume

C= 1.3 × 10^-3 moles × 1000/100

C= 0.013M

So;

Volume of acid VA = 100mL

Concentration of acid CA= 0.013M

Volume of Base VB = 27.84mL

Concentration of Base CB= ???

Number of moles of acid NA =1

Number of moles of Base NB= 1

From;

CAVA/CBVB= NA/NB

CAVANB= CBVBNA

CB= CAVANB/VBNA

CB= 0.013 × 100 × 1/27.84 × 1

CB= 0.05 M
