Atomic mass of an element is not a whole number because It contains isotopes. For example, chlorine has two isotopes 1735Cl and 1737Cl with natural abundances in the approximate ratio of 3:1. Hence, the average atomic mass of chlorine is approximately 35.5 g/mol.

Hope this helps! If so please mark brainliest and rate/heart if it did to help my account out!!

When an ionic solid is added into a solvent, you can see that the ionic solid dissociates into its respective cations and anions

SVEN [57.7K]

The order of the steps, from first to last, is as follows based on the information in the question:

1. Salt is broken down into cations and anions.

2. Anion hydration.

3. Cation hydration.

4. Cations and anions that have been dissolved start to settle as a solid salt.

5. The rate of dissolution and recrystallization are equal.

Without hydration of the ions, the cation and anion cannot get separated. The three processes of ion dissociation, cation hydration, and anion hydration must all take place at once.

<h3>Why water is an effective solvent?</h3>

Water is a great solvent that can dissolve a wide variety of compounds due to its polarity and capacity to create hydrogen bonds.
