    Beginner Doubt
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a beginner's question regarding the variation in ionization enthalpy, electronegativity, and electron gain enthalpy among isotopes of an element. It is clarified that isotopes differ in neutron count, affecting mass but not the nuclear charge or the number of electrons, which determines chemical properties. The chemical properties are primarily influenced by the atomic number and electromagnetic forces. Although isotopes cannot be chemically separated, they can be physically separated through methods like laser-based isotopic separation. The conversation also highlights the importance of asking questions in the appropriate context and forum.

I am just a student of class 11.I got a small doubt ,dont mistake my doubt, i am just a beginner .
My doubt is "What is the variation in Ionization enthalpy , electronegativity ,electron gain enthalpy between the isotopes of a element"
waiting for my doubt to get cleared .

The chemical properties of an element are determined by the atomic number, Z, which is the number of protons (+ charge) in the nucleus as well as the number of electrons surrounding the nucleus in a neutral atom. The coulomb (electromagnetic) forces dominate the chemical properties.

Isotopes of a given element vary by the number of neutrons (which are electrically neutral), and that affects mass but not nuclear charge, so the number of electrons.

Any change in chemical properties due to nuclear mass is very small, but they can be expoited physically, which is the basis of laser-based isotopic separation in which monochromatic laser light (i.e. a very specific frequency) can selectively ionize a specific isotope. Isotopes cannot be chemically separated (chemical interaction with other elements), but must be physically seperated.
 
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.


As i am beginner i will asking many doubts , so please clear my doubts . thanks once again.

Despite your attempt at clever wording, your post here is obviously a homework assignment. Unfortunately, Astronuc just gave you the answer -- something that will not happen again. Next time, post your homework questions in the appropriate forum, and do not ask us to do your homework for you.

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
