In a physical change the appearance or form of the matter changes but the kind of matter in the substance does not. However in a chemical change, the kind of matter changes and at least one new substance with new properties is formed. The distinction between physical and chemical change is not clear cut.
Answer:
Atomic mass of nitrogen = 14.0067 amu.
Explanation:
Isotopes can be defined as two or more forms of a chemical element that are made up of equal numbers of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons.
Generally, the isotopes of a chemical element have the same chemical properties because of their atomic number but different physical properties due to their atomic weight (mass number).
The two isotopes of nitrogen are nitrogen-14 and nitrogen-15.
Given the following data;
Relative abundance of N-14 = 99.63%
Atomic mass of N-14 = 14.003
Relative abundance of N-15 = 0.37%
Atomic mass of N-15 = 15.000
The atomic mass is;
14.003 × (99.63/100) + 15.000 × (0.37/100)
Atomic mass = 14.003 × (0.9963) + 15.000 × (0.0037)
Atomic mass = 13.9512 + 0.0555
Atomic mass = 14.0067 amu.
<em>Therefore, the atomic mass of nitrogen is 14.0067 amu. </em>
The answer would be Linear. in Carbon Dioxide, the two double bonds count as two pairs of electrons around the carbon atom, predicting linear geometry.
