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).

Application of boyle's law a 12-liter tank contains helium gas pressurized to 160 atm. part b what size tank would be needed to
son4ous [18]
<span>According to Mendeleyev-Klapeyron’s equation pV = nRT, where p = 160 atm V = 12 R -constant 0.0821 & T = 298 in Kelvin Using given data, we can determine the amount of Helium gas: n = pV/RT = (160â™12)/(0,0821â™298) = 78,48 (mol) For atmospheric pressure (1 atm) and the same amount we can calculate the volume of tank, using previous equation: V = nRT/p = (78,48â™0,0821â™298)/1 = 1920 (liters) V = 1920 liters Thus Answer is 1920 liters</span>
