Best Answer

The addition of neutrons to the nucleus of an atom creates a new isotope of the element. It changes the nuclear properties of the atom, but has no effect on its chemical properties. Chemical reactions occur as the result of interactions between the electrons of atoms, not their nucleii so, for example, Carbon-12 and Carbon 14 will react chemically in exactly the same ways. The resulting compounds will have identical chemical properties but different molecular weights.

What is mean by synergistic effect?

I DO NOT KNOW THATIts when the effect of two chemicals on an organism is greater than the effect of each chemical individually, or the sum of the individual effects. The presence of one chemical enhances the effects of the second. This is called a synergistic effect or synergy, and the chemicals are sometimes described as showing synergism.


Is effect of pepsin on proteins a chemical reaction?

Yes, it is. Proteins in the presence of pepsin are converted into peptide chains (polypeptides). The reaction is : Proetins→ (In the presence of pepsin-to be written over the arrow) Polypeptides.


Why do isotopes of the same element have the same chemical behavior?

Chemical properties of a element is governed by ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION of that element. As isotopes of same element have identical electronic configurations, their chemical properties are same.


Do atoms have chemical properties?

It's hard to answer this question, because it has a very large indirect effect, but very little direct effect. The number of protons in the nucleus determines what the element is, which in turn determines its chemical propertes. However, the nucleus does not itelf take part in chemical reactions.


Do isotopes with the same elements have the same physical properties?

The physical properties are of course different. The chemical properties are considered identical but this is not a general rule; for example hydrogen isotopes (1H and 2H) have some different chemical and biochemical properties.
