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).

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

see explaination

Explanation:

Molecular equation;

2Li3PO4(aq) + 3CaCl2(aq) >>>> Ca3(PO4)2(s) + 6LiCl(aq)

Total ionic equation; . Includes all ions ;

6Li^+(aq) + 2PO4^-3(aq) + 3Ca^+2(aq) + 6Cl^-(aq) >>>> Ca3(PO4)2(s) + 6Li^+(aq) + 6Cl^-(aq)

Net ionic equation; remove common ions from total ionic;

2PO4^-3(aq) + 3Ca^+2(aq) >>>> Ca3(PO4)2(s)

A sucrose solution is prepared to a final concentration of 0.250 M . Convert this value into terms of g/L, molality, and mass %.
MArishka [77]

Answer:

A. 85.6 g

= 0.0856 kg.

B. 0.00027 mol/g

= 0.27 mol/kg.

C. 8.39 %

Explanation:

Given:

Molar concentration = 0.25 M

Molar weight of sucrose = 342.296 g/mol

Density of solution = 1.02 g/mL

Mass of water = 934.4 g.

Density in g/l = 1.020 g/ml * 1000ml/1 l

= 1020 g/l

Mass of solution in 1 l of solution = 1020 g

Mass of solution = mass of solvent + mass of solute

Mass of sucrose = 1020 - 934.4

= 85.6 g of sucrose in 1 l of solution.

A.

Density of sucrose = mass/volume

= molar mass/molar concentration

= 342.296 * 0.25

= 85.6 g/l

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

= 85.6/342.296

= 0.25 mol

B.

Molality = number of moles of solute/mass of solvent

= 0.25/934.4

= 0.00027 mol/g

C.

% mass of sucrose = mass of sucrose/total mass of solution * 100

= 85.6/1020 * 100

= 8.39 %
