Explain how the isotopes of an element differ

Chemistry
2 answers:
patriot [66]4 years ago
8 0

Isotopes of an element will contain the same number of protons and electrons but will differ in the number of neutrons they contain. In other words, isotopes have the same atomic number because they are the same element but have a different atomic mass because they contain a different number of neutrons.

<h3>Answer</h3><h2>They differ by Atomic masses</h2>
<h3>Explanation </h3>

Isotopes of an element have a same atomic number but differ in their atomic masses. Atomic number indicates a number of protons and atomic mass indicate the number of neutrons plus proton present in the atom. So atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons are termed as isotopes.

Arturiano [62]
The answer is the climate of a place. The troposphere is the lowermost level of Earth's air, and is likewise where closely all weather and climate situations happen. It covers about 75% of the air's mass and 99% of the total form of water vapor and aerosols.

Why does the black carbon ball have 4 holes while the white hydrogen ball only has one hole?
ryzh [129]

In atomic models balls represent an atom

Now if an atom like carbon has four holes it means it can bond with four atoms. It has valency = 4.

The atomic number of carbon is 6

the configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p2

So due to four valence electrons it can bind with four other atoms and thus we have four holes in carbon ball

The hydrogen show a valency of one

the atomic number of hydrogen = 1

its configuration is 1s1


So it can bind with one atom (max) thus we have one hole in hydrogen ball

Hydrogen sulfide is composed of two elements: hydrogen and sulfur. in an experiment, 6.500 g of hydrogen sulfide is fully decomp
LiRa [457]
Hydrogen sulfide = hidrogen + sulfur

       6.500 g                      

a)                             0.384 g   +    x

=> 6.500 = 0.384 + x => x = 6.500 - 0.384 = 6.116 g

Answer: 6.116 g of sulfur must be obtained

b) this experiment demonstrate the conservation of mass.

c) Dalton's atomic model states that the atoms cannot be created, split or be destroyed, and so in a chemical reaction the atoms rearrange but the number of each type of atoms remain constant, so the mass of each type of atoms and the total mass remain constant.
