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!

Show your calculation by uploading a picture. Calculate the molar mass of ammonia, NH3

Cloud [144]

Answer:

17.04 g/mol

Explanation:

Molar Mass of NH₃

we know that

Nitrogen has 14.01 gram/mol

And Hydrogen has 1.01 gram/mol

but we have 3 Hydrogens So we multiply

1.01 by 3 i.e., 3.03

Now, add

14.01

+ 3.03

17.04

So, The molar mass of ammonia, NH₃ is

17.04 g/mol

Calculate the number of atoms in 112 g of iron.

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

1 mole of iron (Fe) = 56 g (molar mass)

Since 56 g of iron = 1 mol.

Therefore, 112 g of iron= 1/ 56 ×112 mol = 2 mol.

Describe differences between conduction and convection give examples

nevsk [136]

Explanation:

Both conduction and convection are both forms of heat transfer from one place to another.

In conduction, there must be contact between two bodies for the process to take place but in convection, the matter moves to transfer heat.
Conduction mostly occurs in solid substances whereas convection occurs mostly in fluids.
Heat transfer in conduction is quite slow compared to convection which is much faster.

Example of conduction is heating of iron pot when cooking

Example of convection is the refrigerating system.

The rows of the periodic table are called groups because similar elements reside next to each other on the modern periodic table

forsale [732]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups or families because of their similar chemical behavior. All the members of a family of elements have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties. The horizontal rows on the periodic table are called periods.
