TiliK225 [7]3 years ago
3 0

The mass number of an atom is equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons that it contains. In other words, the number of neutrons in any atom is its mass number minus its atomic number.

hope this helps, if not, your free to give me 1 star

White raven [17]

Answer:

c) An element is made up of all the same type of atom

Explanation:

Atoms are the smallest unit of an element that consists of protons, electrons and neutrons in its structure. An element is the smallest part of a chemical substance that cannot be disintegrated i.e. it cannot be broken down further.

Atoms and elements are different in many ways but they are connected in the sense that an element contains only one type of atoms. For example, aluminum element is made up of only aluminum atoms. Different atoms form a molecule but same atoms form an element.

kow [346]

Answer:

2.6 ×10^-42

Explanation:

From

∆G= -RTlnK

∆G= -237.2 KJmol-1 or -237.2×10^3 Jmol-1

R= 8.314 Jmol-1K-1

T= 25°C + 273= 298K

-237.2×10^3= 8.314 × 298 × ln K

ln K= -237.2×10^3/2477.572

K = 2.6 ×10^-42

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Sample C is most likely the metal.

Explanation:

The Sample C is the metal, because the properties given in the sample c are all of the metal. As we know that the metals are the lustrous or the shiny elements. They are often good conductor of heat and also electricity. The metals possess high melting point. The density of the metals are heavy for their size. Metals can be easily hammered, and hence are malleable. They can easily be stretched into wires hence are ductile. They remains solid at room temperature but in case of mercury it remains as liquid. Metals are opaque object and cannot be see through it.

The law of conservation of mass is applicable to
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass states that in a closed system, mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical or physical reaction. The law of conservation of mass is applied whenever you balance a chemical equation.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.

The law of conservation of mass is useful for a number of calculations and can be used to solve for unknown masses, such the amount of gas consumed or produced during a reaction.

It is applicable in a chemical when the the mass of the products in a chemical reaction is equal to  the mass of the reactants.

But it is not applicable in a nuclear fusion as some of the mass is generated as energy.
