Answer:

They help stablize the strucure of an atom.

Explanation:

Take into consider isotopes where there are more or less than the ideal amount of neurtrons. These isotopes are radioactive and unstable to the point hey are used as atomic bombs. So with the proper amount of nuetrons it helps the atom maintain structure and not degrade

Answer: they have an important role to keep the atom stable

Explanation:

since protons are positively charged, there is an incredibly strong repulsive force between all the protons in a nucleus

In a lab experiment 80.0 g of ammonia [NH3] and 120 g of oxygen are placed in a reaction vessel. At the end of the reaction 72.2

valentinak56 [21]

The percent yield of the reaction : 89.14%

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction of Ammonia and Oxygen in a lab :

mass NH₃ = 80 g

mol NH₃ (MW=17 g/mol):

$\dfrac{80}{17}=4.706$

mass O₂ = 120 g

mol O₂(MW=32 g/mol) :

$\tt \dfrac{120}{32}=3.75$

Mol ratio of reactants(to find limiting reatants) :

$\tt \dfrac{4.706}{4}\div \dfrac{3.75}{5}=1.1765\div 0.75\rightarrow O_2~limiting~reactant(smaller~ratio)$

mol of H₂O based on O₂ as limiting reactants :

mol H₂O :

$\tt \dfrac{6}{5}\times 3.75=4.5$

mass H₂O :

4.5 x 18 g/mol = 81 g

The percent yield :

$\tt \%yield=\dfrac{actual}{theoretical}\times 100\%\\\\\%yield=\dfrac{72.2}{81}\times 100\%=89.14\%$

How many σ and π bonds are present in a molecule of cumulene?

dimaraw [331]

A hydrocarbon with three or more consecutive (cumulative) double bonds is known as a cumulene. They are analogous to allenes, only exhibiting a more elongated chain. The basic molecule in this category is butatriene, which is also simply known as cumulene.

In the structure of a cumulene, there are 3 double bonds and 4 single bonds. The double bond comprises 1 sigma bond, and 1 pi bond and 4 hydrogen bond produces a sigma bond with carbon. Thus, the molecule of cumulene comprises 7 sigma bonds and 3 pi bonds.

Bromine has two isotopes 79Br and 81Br, whose masses (78.9183 and 80.9163 amu) and abundances (50.69% and 49.31%, respectively)

Reika [66]

Answer:

Average atomic mass = 79.9034 amu

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of the average atomic mass is:

$Average\ atomic\ mass=(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ first\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ first\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ second\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ second\ isotope})$

Given that:

<u>For first isotope: </u>

% = 50.69 %

Mass = 78.9183 amu

<u>For second isotope: </u>

% = 49.31 %

Mass = 80.9163 amu

Thus,

$Average\ atomic\ mass=\frac{50.69}{100}\times {78.9183}+\frac{49.31}{100}\times {80.9163}\ amu$

$Average\ atomic\ mass=40.0036+39.8998\ amu$

<u>Average atomic mass = 79.9034 amu</u>
