What is the relationship between the atoms of elements,its isotopes and its ions
klasskru [66]
An element refers to a collection of atoms having the same number of protons and electrons (an atomic number). In each element there is a different atomic number due to a different amount of protons in the nucleus.

An isotope is a variation of an element that contains a different number of neutrons, therefore adding weight to the atom.

An ion is a charged atom, and its charge shows how many electrons it needs to gain or lose in order to become stable.

A 3,000 kg truck moving at +10 m/s hits a 1,000 kg parked car which moves off at +15 m/s What is the velocity of
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

v₃ = 5 [m/s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the definition of linear momentum, which tells us that momentum is equal to the product of mass by Velocity.

P = m*v

where:

P = linear momentum [kg*m/s]

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]

We must also clarify that the momentum is preserved i.e. it is equal before the collision and after the collision

Pbeforecollision = Paftercollision

(m₁*v₁) + (m₂*v₂) = (m₁*v₃) + (m₂*v₄)

where:

m₁ = mass of the truck = 3000 [kg]

v₁ = velocity of the truck = 10 [m/s]

m₂ = mass of the car = 1000 [kg]

v₂ = velocity of the car before the collision = 0 (the car is parked)

v₃ = velocity of the truck after the collision [m/s]

v₄ = velocity of the car after the collision = 15 [m/s]

(3000*10) + (1000*0) = (3000*v₃) + (1000*15)

30000 = 3000*v₃ + 15000

3000*v₃ = 30000 - 15000

3000*v₃ = 15000

v₃ = 5 [m/s]

In an aqueous solution where the H+ concentration is 1 x 10-6 M, the OH concentration must be:
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

D. 1×10⁻⁸ M

Explanation:

[H⁺] [OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴

(1×10⁻⁶) [OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴

[OH⁻] = 1×10⁻⁸
