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.

Answer:

Difference in the potential energy of the reactants and products

Explanation:

 

The products have a lower potential energy than the reactants, and the sign of ΔH is negative. In an endothermic reaction, energy is absorbed. The products have a higher potential energy than the reactants, and the sign of ΔH is positive.

Understanding how much of a product is produced in a reaction is referred to as ________ understanding the reaction?
777dan777 [17]
Hello!

Understanding how much of a product is produced in a reaction is referred to as Stoichiometrically understanding the reaction.

Stoichiometry is the calculation of the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction. The first to talk about stoichiometry was Jeremias Benjamin Ritcher, who said that "Stoichiometry is the science that measures the quantitative proportions or mass ratios of chemical elements that are involved in a chemical reaction".

To calculate how much of a product is produced in a reaction, Stoichiometry is used, applying the law of conservation of mass. That means that the amount of product can be calculated from the amounts of reactants if they are known.

What happens to metals when they form an ion?
Anastaziya [24]
Metals generally form cations, meaning they become positively charge - this positive charge is due to the loss of electrons.
