Answer:

You can add as many neutrons you would like to any atom as long if it's stable and whatnot. If you do add a neutron to an atom, such as Nitrogen, it still stays as Nitrogen, but its atomic mass would change.

This is referred to as an "Isotope"

Atoms of the same element, but different masses.

I hope this helps!

Oxygen has an electronegativity of 3.5, and carbon has an electronegativity of 2.5. how is charge distributed on an oxygen atom

vlabodo [156]

When oxygen has an electronegativity of 3.5, and carbon has an electronegativity of 2.5, then the oxygen atom would have a slightly negative charge. The oxygen atom in the carbon monoxide molecule would pull more electrons to its side since it has higher electronegativity making it slightly negative and the carbon would have a slightly positive charge as it would contain less electrons. This results to the formation of a polar molecule. A polar molecule is made when the molecule contains a slightly positive end and a slightly negative end. It would have a net dipole which is a result of the partial opposing charges in the molecule.

Lead will float in water.

Fed [463]

Actually, no. While their mass may be the same (1kg), the volume of lead is a lot smaller than that of feathers. As there is the same mass stuffed in a smaller space, it must be denser. The density of water is 1 g/cm3, so if the density of the lead is more than 1g/cm3, it has to sink

Human blood consists of blood groups A, B, and O. However, there is one more blood group, AB, which contains alleles A and B in

algol13

It is codominant inheritance because, if the placement of the A and B molecules on each cell is controlled by the proteins that are coded by different versions of the same gene, then IA and IB are codominant but both are dominant to Io. If a person receives an IA allele and a IB allele, their blood type is type AB, in which characteristics of both A and B antigens are expressed.

A complex ion that forms in solution has a structure that:____.

xeze [42]

Answer:

can only be determined experimentally.

Explanation:

In the early days of inorganic chemistry, the structure of complex ions remained a mystery hence the name ''complex''.

These ions appear to have structures that defied accurate elucidation. However, by diligent laboratory investigation, Alfred Werner was able to accurately determine the structure of cobalt complexes. As a result of this, he is regarded as a pathfinder in coordination chemistry.

Hence, the structure of complex ions can only be determined experimentally.
