An isotope of an element is having a different number of neutrons ex C12, C14...

In other words, they would have the same # of proton but different number of neutrons. So to determine the number of neutrons in an isotope of an atom, you need to subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass

For sure the answer is D

If two identical atoms are bonded together, what kind of molecule is formed?
AlekseyPX

Answer:

C. A linear, nonpolar molecule

Explanation:

Molecules which are alike usually have the same degree of pull which results in them sharing electrons. This sharing of electrons is known as the molecules exhibiting Covalent bonding between them.

The equal pull also results in the cancelling out of electrons and favoring non polar bonds due to the absence of free electrons which would have been able to interact with H2O in a polar binding system.

K forms the compound K₂O, which is an ionic compound that is brittle. Identify another element, M, that is likely to form a brit
Lena [83]

Answer:

Na₂O will also form a brittle ionic compound.

Explanation:

Sodium is located in the same group as Potassium: Alkali Metals. This is because both elements have similar chemical properties. In term of their electronegativity, both elements are very close. Na has an electronegativity of 0.93, while K has an electronegativity of 0.82. This makes both ideal elements to create ionic compounds with Oxygen.

Answer:

Beta particles

Explanation:

A beta emission is said to occur when a neutron is converted into a proton. When a beta emission takes place, the daughter nucleus increases it's atomic number by 1. A neutrino is also produced.

Since the mass number remain the same but the daughter nucleus has it's atomic number increased by 1, then the particle is a beta particle.
