Answer:

For any given isotope, the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus is called the mass number. This is because each proton and each neutron weigh one atomic mass unit. By adding together the number of protons and neutrons and multiplying by 1, you can calculate the mass of the atom.

In what order did mendeleev arrange the elements in his periodic table?

irina1246 [14]

He realized that the physical and chemical properties of elements were related to their atomic mass in a 'periodic' way, and arranged them so that groups of elements with similar properties fell into vertical columns in his table.

Classify each element as a metal, nonmetal, or semimetal. br in cr ca drag the appropriate items to their respective bins. view

goldenfox [79]

Below is the distribution of given elements and additional elements in their respective bins.

Iron, Magnesium, Aluminium, Calcium, Chromium and Indium are classified as Metals due to their hardness, conduction of current and heat, Solid state, formation of metallic bonding and prefers to form cations e.t.c

Oxygen, Neon and Bromine are classified as non-metals. Non-metals are mostly gases except for Bromine. They are highly volatile and prefers to form anions.

Semimetals are those metals which have both properties of metals and non-metals and are also called as metalloids.

Which material is the lest likely to be recognized as a mixture by looking at it under a microscope ?

Lisa [10]

Hello,

The answer is option C homogeneous mixture.

Reason:

The answer is option C because you can find homogeneous mixtures anywhere for example: Vinegar. Its not option A because suspension is usually in elements but as not a mixture. Its not option B because a colloid is a measurement tool that allows to make compounds (mixtures).Its also not option D because those type o mixtures are hard to find in extreme weather conditions.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!

What is the relationship between mole, Avogadro number and mass?

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The mass of one mole of a substance is equal to that substance's molecular weight. ... water is 18.015 atomic mass units (amu), so one mole of water weight 18.015 grams. ... Avogadro's number is a proportion that relates molar mass on an atomic ... one molecule of water (H2O), one mole of oxygen (6.022×1023 of O atoms)
