Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number, and consequently in nucleon number. All isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons in each atom.
The term isotope is formed from the Greek roots isos ("equal") and topos ("place"), meaning "the same place".
Answer:
Refer to your periodic table. Lewis dot structures are based off the number of valence electrons an atom has.
Looking at the compounds, we can see that Gallium has three valence electrons in its outer shell and oxygen has six. Oxygen and Gallium are going to share electrons with one another, making a V shape in their diagram.
One Oxygen would make a double bond with a Gallium, leaving one valence electron to another oxygen. That oxygen takes that Final electron. It now has 7 in its outer shell. The remaining Gallium and Oxygen do the same double bond as the one before, leaving the 7 valence electron oxygen with one more electron.
Some of the NH₄+ will combine with the OH- and shift the equilibrium backwards and from NH₄OH to balance the change produced by addition of NH₄+ ions.
An atom is the smallest unit of ordinary matter that forms a chemical element.
oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus.
