An element's most stable ion forms an ionic compound with bromine, having the formula \(\mathrm{XBr}_{2}\). If the ion of element \(\mathrm{X}\) has a mass number of 230 and has 86 electrons, what is the identity of the element, and how many neutrons does it have?
Heat is applied to an ice cube in a closed container until only steam is present. Draw a representation of this process, assuming you can see it at an extremely high level of magnification. What happens to the size of the molecules? What happens to the total mass of the sample?
Section \(2.3\) describes the postulates of Dalton's atomic theory With some modifications, these postulates hold up very well regarding how we view elements, compounds, and chemical reactions today. Answer the following questions concerning Dalton's atomic theory and the modifications made today. a. The atom can be broken down into smaller parts. What are the smaller parts? b. How are atoms of hydrogen identical to each other and how can they be different from each other? c. How are atoms of hydrogen different from atoms of helium? How can \(\mathrm{H}\) atoms be similar to \(\mathrm{He}\) atoms? d. How is water different from hydrogen peroxide \(\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\right)\) even though both compounds are composed of only hydrogen and oxygen? e. What happens in a chemical reaction and why is mass conserved in a chemical reaction?
Write the formula for each of the following compounds: a. sodium oxide h. copper(I) chloride b. sodium peroxide i. gallium arsenide c. potassium cyanide j. cadmium selenide d. copper(II) nitrate \(\mathbf{k}\). zinc sulfide e. selenium tetrabromide 1\. nitrous acid f. iodous acid \(\mathrm{m}\). diphosphorus pentoxide g. lead(IV) sulfide
For lighter, stable isotopes, the ratio of the mass number to the atomic number is close to a certain value. What is the value? What happens to the value of the mass number to atomic number ratio as stable isotopes become heavier?
