How can there be more than 1000 different atoms when there are only about 100 different elements?

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:-))

There can be more atoms because atoms make about everything and those atoms make up the elements and since,atoms are in everything there can be different kinds of atoms to make up certain things.

What sample has particles with the lowest average kinetic energy
makvit [3.9K]

The sample with the lowest AVERAGE kinetic energy is
the coolest one.

The sample with the lowest TOTAL kinetic energy depends on
not only the temperature of the samples, but also on their size,
since each molecule in the sample has kinetic energy.

How many calories of heat are necessary to raise the temperature of 319.5 g of water from 35.7 °C
rjkz [21]

20600Cal              

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of water = 319.5g

Initial temperature = 35.7°C

Final temperature = 100°C

Unknown:

Calories needed to heat the water = ?

Solution:

The calories is the amount of heat added to the water. This can be determined using;

     H  =   m  c Ф

c  = specific heat capacity of water = 4.186J/g°C

   H is the amount of heat

    Ф is the change in temperature

    H = m c (Ф₂ - Ф₁)

    H = 319.5 x 4.186 x (100 - 35.7) = 85996.56J

Now;

     1kilocalorie = 4184J

     

85996.56J to kCal; \frac{85996.56}{4184}   = 20.6kCal  = 20600Cal

kompoz [17]

Answer:

<u>Why is it important to keep the two sides of an equation balanced when solving?</u>

If two expressions are equal to each other, and you add the same value to both sides of the equation, the equation will remain equal. When you solve an equation, you find the value of the variable that makes the equation true.

<u>What other properties do we use to rewrite expressions and equations?</u>

In methane combustion, the following reaction pair is important: At 1500 K, the equilibrium constant Kp has a value of 0.003691
andre [41]

Explanation:

Let us assume that the value of K_{r} = 2.82 \times 10^{5} \times e^({\frac{-9835}{T}}) m^{6}/mol^{2}s

Also at 1500 K, K_{r} = 2.82 \times 10^{5} \times e^({\frac{-9835}{1500}}) m^{6}/mol^{2}s

                     K_{r} = 400.613 m^{6}/mol^{2}s

Relation between K_{p} and K_{c} is as follows.

                  K_{p} = K_{c}RT

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

                  K_{p} = K_{c}RT

         0.003691 = K_{c} \times 8.314 \times 1500

                K_{c} = 2.9 \times 10^{-7}

Also,     K_{c} = \frac{K_{f}}{K_{r}}

or,                K_{f} = K_{c} \times K_{r}

                               = 2.9 \times 10^{-7} \times 400.613

                               = 1.1617 \times 10^{-4} m^{6}/mol^{2}s

Thus, we can conclude that the value of K_{f} is 1.1617 \times 10^{-4} m^{6}/mol^{2}s.
