Answer:
B) All carbon atoms have 6 neutrons.
Explanation:
The false statement from the given choices is that all carbon atoms have 6 neutrons.
There is a phenomenon called isotopy in chemistry.
Isotopy is the existence of two or more atoms of the same element having the same atomic number but different mass numbers due to the differences in the number of neutrons in their various nuclei.
- These atoms of elements are called isotopes.
- Carbon atoms generally have proton number of 6 which is the same as the atomic number.
- As with all atoms, the mass number or atomic mass equals the number of protons and neutrons.
For the isotopes of carbon, their number of neutrons differs.
For example:
<em>¹²₆C ¹³₆C ¹⁴₆C</em>
The number of neutrons differs in the above isotopes.
Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number;
¹²₆C , number of neutrons = 12 - 6 = 6
¹³₆C, number of neutrons = 13 - 6 = 7
¹⁴₆C, number of neutrons = 14 - 6 = 8
Therefore, based on the concept of isotopy, all carbon atoms do not have 6 neutrons.
It’s definitely B but I’m not sure
Answer: Cellular respiration is spontaneous and exergonic. The energy released from the glucose is stored in ATP molelcules.
Explanation:
Spontaneous reactions have an increase in entropy (level of disorder) and a decrease in enthalpy (total energy). Cellular respiration goes from a more ordered state (one molecule of glucose) to a more disordered state (several molecules of CO2), and goes from a state with a lot of free energy to one with much less free energy. As a result, respiration is a spontaneous process.
As free energy from the glucose is released as ATP molecules during oxidation, the reaction is exergonic.
Answer:
Sand (SiO2 silica) In its pure form it exists as a polymer, (SiO2)n.
Soda ash (sodium carbonate Na2CO3) ...
Limestone (calcium carbonate or CaCo3) or dolomite (MgCO3)
Explanation:
I am pretty sure you know what sand is, Soda ash is a fine white colored powder that is extracted from the ashes of plants growing in sodium rich soils. Limestone is is a common type of carbonate sedimentary rock.
