Answer: -40
Explanation: Percent error is calculated by subtracting the value you actually recieved from the literature value (175 in your case) SO your answer should be 135-175=-40.
Answer:
Oxygen and sulfur
Explanation:
Alloys consist of metals fused together sometimes with additional components, such as carbon, to prevent metals from corrosion.
Oxygen and sulfur are two compounds consisting of non-metal atoms, O and S. Combining oxygen with sulfur would actually produce sulfur dioxide, a gas, in contrast to a metallic substance that is fused with some other metal or carbon.
That's the reason why combination of sulfur and oxygen wouldn't produce an alloy: it would produce a gas.
Actually, there are only about 100 atoms that have been yet discovered. But each element has many different kinds of atom. For instance, carbon. Do you know carbon has more than 30 or 50 different types of atoms? Well, how? There are isotopes. Don't think that there is only one carbon atom which has 6 electrons and 6 protons and 6 neutrons. There are more. C-13 has 6 electrons and 6 protons and 7 neutrons. While, C-14 has 6 electrons and 6 protons and 8 neutrons. I just showed you three stable isotopes of carbon(element). But, what is really an isotope?? Did you notice that all of these atoms had the same number of protons and electron but different numbers of neutrons? This is really an isotope. Well, if an atom takes a few more electrons or gives off a few electrons, it still stays the same element/ atom type. Just like that an element can have atoms of different neutron number. It may be less or more. It doesn't affect the atom much: just makes an isotope. But it does affect the atomic mass number or radioactivity of an atom. So, an element can have many different forms of isotopes of its atoms. In this way, being only 100 atoms, there can 1000 atoms or (more than that!).
To make it more clear-
Definition of ISOTOPE: <span>any of two or more forms of a </span>chemical<span> element, having the same number of protons and electrons in the nucleus, or the same atomic number, but having different numbers of neutrons</span>
HOPE YOU UNDERSTOOD THE MATTER:-))
