How does an atom of one element differ from the atom of another element?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Temka [501]2 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

The atoms of one element differs from the atoms of other elements in terms of the number of protons they contain. This is often taken as the atomic number of such an atom.

  • The number of proton is the best indicator of the atom one is dealing with.
  • Based on this number, elements are categorized into distinct columns and rows on the periodic table.
  • The atomic number is the number of protons or positively charge particles in the atom.

II.

It is possible to change the identity of an atom. This is only possible by altering the atomic number of the atom.

Only nuclear reactions have this capability.

When an atom undergoes nuclear reaction that involves change in number of protons, transmutation occurs and a new atom forms.

Imporance of mixture in our daily life​
garri49 [273]

Answer:A mixture is a mechanical combination of several elements or compounds. Mixtures are used in cooking, chemical manufacturing, and a lot of other processes. A good mixture with the materials evenly distributed facilitates a good after mixture process. That might be a chemical reaction or a great cake. One mixture that we see the results of a lot is the mixture of water, gravel, and Portland cement that, after a good mix, becomes concrete. Other mixtures might include the various plastics and epoxies that require two or more parts to become a finished product. There are so many possible mixtures out there I’d suggest chemical engineering books , chemistry books in general, cook books, books on construction processes, and many other possible sources of mixtures and the results of using them.

Kruka [31]

Answer:

In a semiconductor, the bonding molecular orbitals that contain electrons are referred to as the valence band, while the antibonding orbitals that are completely empty are referred to as the conduction band.

The conduction band occupies a higher energy level than the valence band. The band gap is what separates the two orbitals.
