Answer:
A. there is an isotope of lanthanum with an atomic mass of 138.9
Explanation:
By knowing the different atomic masses of both Lanthanum atoms, we can not tell anything about their occurence in nature. Therefore, all the last three options are incorrect. Because, the atomic mass does not tell anything about the availability or natural abundance of an element.
Now, the isotopes of an element are those elements, which have same number of electrons and protons as the original element, but different number of neutrons. Therefore, they have same atomic number but, different atomic weight or atomic masses.
Hence, by looking at an elements having same atomic number, but different atomic masses, we can identify them as isotopes.
Thus, the correct option is:
<u>A. there is an isotope of lanthanum with an atomic mass of 138.9.</u>
Answer:
Carbon
Explanation:
Carbon has four electrons in its valence shell, so it generally shares it in a covalent bond. This element needs four electrons to be stable, so it can form single (such as the bond with hydrogen), double (such as the bond with oxygen) or triple bonds (such as the bond with nitrogen).
It can also form bonds with other carbon, and they can form longs chains, that's why there are a lot of organic compounds (the compounds with carbon). Carbon can form rings too, such as in benzene.
Answer:
The benthic zone is the ecological region at the lowest level of a body of water such as an ocean, lake, or stream, including the sediment surface and some sub-surface layers.
Explanation:
Answer:
The second choice, or flammability.
Explanation:
The flammability of something is how easy it is for it to burn or ignite.
