How are the atomic number and the number of protons related to each other? how do the number of protons, number of neutrons, and

the mass number relate to each other? what is the one thing that determines the identity of an atom (that is, whether it is an oxygen atom or a carbon atom, etc.)?

The atomic number (Z) uniquely identifies a chemical element. In an uncharged atom, the atomic number is also equal to the number of electrons.

The atomic number, Z, should not be confused with the mass number, A, which is the number of nucleons, the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

In this video Kristine Born explains this two concepts in more detail.

Butoxors [25]
A calorimeter contains reactants and a substance to absorb the heat absorbed. The initial temperature (before the reaction) of the heat absorbent is measured and then the final temperature (after the reaction) is also measured. The absorbent's specific heat capacity and mass are also known. Given all of this data, the equation:
Q = mcΔT 
To find the heat released.

The isotope of hydrogen that has two neutrons is called A. hydrogen. B. deuterium. C. tritium. D. dihydrogen.
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

C.Tritium

Explanation:

Isotopes are forms of an element with different mass number but same atomic number. Mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom, while atomic number is the number of protons.

Mass number = protons +neutrons.

Atomic number = protons only

We can say that mass number = atomic number + number of neutrons.

The number of neutrons is what differentiates the isotopes of an element.

For hydrogen element, it has three isotopes namely; protium, deuterium and tritium which have 0,1 and 2 neutrons respectively. Thus the answer is C
