Answer:

This particular isotope of potassium-42 contains 42 nucleons (i.e., protons and neutrons, combined;) Like other isotopes of potassium 19 out of these nucleons are protons; the rest 42−19=23 are therefore neutrons.

Which factor is generally responsible for high melting points?

kherson [118]

The factor that is generally responsible for higher melting point is intermolecular forces. The compounds that are covalent in nature are made of molecules rather than ions. It has been seen that some of the covalent compounds have polar molecules at one end, due to which the one end has more electronegative force than the other. The electrostatic force that is bounding the compound is the main cause of higher melting point of this compound. So it is true that with the increase of polarity of a compound creates higher melting point. .. hope I helped

Which of these describes an endothermic process?

Phoenix [80]

The third one down: "When barium hydroxide is mixed with ammonium chloride, ice crystals form on the outside of the container."

This is because an endothermic reaction [process] takes in more energy than it releases. Therefore because a decrease in energy leads to a decrease in temperature, the ice crystals forming show that it must be a endothermic reaction [process].

Hope this helps! :)

Write the empirical formula of at least four binary ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions: Zn2+, Ni4+, F-

hram777 [196]

Ionic compounds are formed between oppositely charged ions.

A binary ionic compound is composed of ions of two different elements - one of which is a positive ion(metal), and the other is negative ion (nonmetal).

To write the empirical formula of binary ionic compound we must remember that one ion should be positive and other ion should be negative, then only the correct formula should be written. To write the empirical formula the charges of opposite ions should be criss-crossed.

First empirical formula of binary ionic compound is written between $Zn^{2+} (Positive ion)and F^{-} (Negative ion)$
