How scovery of isotopes explain why atomic wieghts do not always give the correct order of elements?
This is due to the fact that all elements have isotopes, meaning that there atomic weight is in fact much greater than stated in the periodic table. This means that the elements are only weighed by their compound and not including the isotopes.
What is the difference between mass of hydrogen and mass of electron?
There are different isotopes of hydrogen. Assuming you mean the difference in atomic mass between a proton and an electron though, the atomic mass of a proton is about 1836 times greater (approx 1.007 amu), and the neutron is a little more than that (approx 1.009 amu).
Which lanthanide element and which transition element have only radioactive isotopes?
All or almost all elements have radioactive isotopes if artificial isotopes are included. Among the naturally occurring elements, uranium, polonium, radium, and thorium have naturally occurring radioactive isotopes on earth.
What do isotopes matter?
The mass effect between deuterium and the relatively light protium affects the behavior of their respective chemical bonds, by means of changing the center of gravity (reduced mass) of the atomic systems. However, for heavier elements, which have more neutrons than lighter elements, the ratio of the nuclear mass to the collective electronic mass is far greater, and the relative mass difference between isotopes is much less. - See more at: http://www.chacha.com/question/what-cases-are-differences-between-isotopes-important#sthash.oOOVoNRU.dpuf
Is true about nuclear fission?
Any nuclei of elements greater than one proton, ie; hydrogen, can undergo fission depending on the amount of energy available.

What compound has a greater difference in electronegativities of its members NaCl or KCl?
KCl has a greater difference between the electronegativity of the two elements present.
What is stable elements?
Unstable elements are radioactive elements that spontaneously decay into other elements. Some are: Radon Uranium Plutonium See the related link for an article giving greater detail on isotope stability.
How many stable nuclides exist for elements that have and atomic number above 83?
All isotopes of all elements with atomic number similar or greater than 84 are radioactive, and don't have stable nuclei.
What elements are found in carob bean gum?
As this is a food from a living source; Carbon,oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen will be the greater part of any elements found in this gum.
How does the total number of elements compare to the total number of compounds?
There are a bit more than 100 elements however there are far, far more than 100 millions compounds, each day more compounds are produced, there are a lot of compounds with unknown structure, not having official names. So the ratio is much bigger than 1 to a million
What properties can be used to form ionic compounds?
electronegativity. the greater the difference in electronegativity of the elements the greater the likelihood of them forming ionic bonds.
Do ionic bonds have a greater or lesser electronegativity difference between them than a covalent bond?
The difference in electronegativity between two elements bonded into a compound by ionic bonds is almost always greater than the difference in electronegativity between two elements bonded into a compound by covalent bonds.
Which lanthanide element and which transition element have only radioactive isotopes?
All or almost all elements have radioactive isotopes if artificial isotopes are included. Among the naturally occurring elements, uranium, polonium, radium, and thorium have naturally occurring radioactive isotopes on earth.
What is more polar a carbon hydrogen bond or a carbon oxygen bond?
A carbon-oxygen bond is more polar than a carbon-hydrogen bond, because the difference in electronegativity between carbon and oxygen is greater than the difference in electronegativity between carbon and hydrogen.
How does the measured mass of hydrogen compare with its nuclear mass due to one proton?
The mass of the whole hydrogen atom includes the mass of an electron as well as the proton. The proton mass is nearly 2000 (actually about 1836) times greater than the electron mass. So, the mass of the hydrogen atom isn't much different from the mass of the proton. It's also possible this question could be about isotopes. Hydrogen has rare isotopes with one or two neutrons in the nucleus. So, the average mass of hydrogen, as measured, is usually a bit more than you would expect from just a proton and electron. However, these other isotopes are very rare and the effect on the mass of a sample of hydrogen would be very small.
