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.

Briefly discuss three physical properties of ionic solids that are linked to ionic bonds.
ludmilkaskok [199]
Firstly, Ionic solids can't conduct electricity, this is because of the close packed structure partly caused by the strong attraction between the delocalised electrons and the positively charged ions in the lattice structure (the close packed structure is also partially due to the fact it is in a solid state, it's not just solely to the ionic bonds). As the structure is so close packed, the ions are not free to move so electricity cannot be conducted. 
Secondly, high melting and boiling points (counts as a physical property as it can be observed)  as there is high attraction between the oppositely charged entities in the ionic lattice, added to by the sheer number of ionic bonds and resulting electrostatic attraction in a lattice (aka strong and plentiful ionic bonds) mean lots of energy is needed to overcome these bonds in order to change state.
Thirdly, they are usually hard and brittle as the lattice is a huge structure that is held rigidly in place by the strong electrostatic attraction arising from the ionic bonds.

Write the complete chemical formula for the unknown compound.
Zinaida [17]

The complete chemical formula for the unknown compound will be  C_2H_6

<h3>Chemical formula</h3>

The chemical formula of the compound is  C_2H_x and x is supposed to be a whole number.

In the analysis, C = 2.22 moles and H = 6.7 moles

Dividing both by the smallest: C = 1 and H = 3

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound will be CH_3

But since the compound is  C_2H_x, it means both C and H are multiplied by 2.

The chemical formula will, therefore, be C_2H_6

Answer:

Physical change

Explanation:

Chemical change is defined as the process in which new substance with different properties is formed from old substance and the process is irreversible while physical change is a reversible process and changes only physical properties of a substance.

<em>The given experiment is an example of physical change because it is just the physical act of dissolving. The metal disk is dissolving in sodium acetate and the process is exothermic and the process is reversible as well.</em>

Hence, the correct answer is "physical change".

Answer choices are ..
Sauron [17]

Answer: D) nuclear fusion because an atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

Nuclear fission is a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei into two or more small and stable nuclei along with the release of energy.

_1^2\textrm{H}+_1^3\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+_0^1\textrm{n}+\text{energy}

As in the given reaction a heavier nuclei helium is being formed from combination of deuterium and tritium, this is a nuclear fusion reaction.

True or False? Unbalanced forces cause a change in motion <br> T/F <br><br> How do you know this?
Oxana [17]

Answer:

true

Explanation

Unbalanced forces can cause an object to change its motion.If an object is at rest and an unbalanced force pushes or pulls the object it will move. Unbalanced forces can also change the speed or direction of an object that is already in motion.
