Answer:

Isotopes are variants of an element, where the number of neutrons is different but its number of protons stay the same.

Explanation:

If the number of protons had changed then it would just be a different element.

Electron number changing simply adds charge to the atom, and doesn't change it or anything.

Answer:

Isotopes are one of two or more forms of the same chemical element.

Explanation:

Different isotopes of an element have the same number of protons in the nucleus, giving them the same atomic number,but a different number of neutrons giving each element isotope of a different atomic weight.

Does the hydrogen molecule obey the octet rule?

Alja [10]

Explanation:

Hydrogen does not obey the octet rule. Boron does not always

obey the octet rule and in fact forms Lewis acids such as BF3 which

only has 6 electrons.

The following reaction, catalyzed by iridium, is endothermic at 700 K: CaO(s) + CH4(g) + 2H2O (g) → CaCO3 (s) + 4H2 (g) For the

arsen [322]

Answer:

A. Increasing the temperature will favor forward reaction and more CaCo3 formed.

B. More CaCo3 will be formed.

C. CaCo3 will decrease and more react ants formed.

D. Less CaCo3 will be formed.

E. Iridium is a catalyst so there is no effect

Explanation:

A. Temperature will increase because it's an endothermic reaction.

B. Adding Cao will favor forward reaction and more CaCo3 formed.

C. Removing methane, more react ants are formed and CaCo3 decreases.

D. Irridi is a catalyst so it has no effect on the CaCo3 but only speeds its rate of reaction.
