Why do different isotopes of an element generally have the same physical and chemical properties?

Chemistry
1 answer:
tresset_1 [31]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Why knowing the density of water important?? explain why please so I can understand it don’t copy for the internet I won’t under
Mkey [24]

Answer:

it allows us to determine whether objects will float or sink when placed in a liquid or even a gas.

Explanation:

For example, In an oil spill in the ocean, the oil rises to the top because it is less dense than water, creating an oil slick on the surface of the ocean. A Styrofoam cup is less dense than a ceramic cup, so the Styrofoam cup will float in water and the ceramic cup will sink.

How many covalent bonds does and oxygen stone usually make in forming covalent compounds?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer: Oxygen usually forms two covalent bonds or a covalent double bond.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed by the sharing of 2 electrons, 1 electron from each of the atoms sharing their electrons.

The number of bonds that each element can form depends on the number of valence (outermost) electrons it contains. Oxygen has 6 electrons in its valence shell and needs 2 more electrons thereby forming a double bond.
