Atoms that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. For example, carbon-12, carbon-13 and carbon-14 are three isotopes of the element carbon with mass numbers 12, 13 and 14 respectively. The atomic number of carbon is 6, which means that every carbon atom has 6 protons, so that the neutron numbers of these isotopes are 6, 7 and 8 respectively.
Correct Option: A

When a volume of air at a given temperature holds the maximum amount of water vapour, the air is said to be saturated. Air is said to be saturated at 100 percent relative humidity when it contains the maximum amount of moisture possible at that specific temperature. When relative humidity reaches 100 percent or is saturated, moisture will condense, meaning the water vapor changes to liquid vapor.

Exhaust fumes of motor cars, gases produced from coal fire in a closed room and coal gas, all contain carbon monoxide, which is the cause of their poisonous nature. When carbon monoxide is inhaled, it prevents the oxygen from combining with hemoglobin and instead combines itself with hemoglobin to form carboxyhaemoglobin, which is stable compound. This causes oxygen starvation in the body tissues and eventually causes death by suffocation.

Using formula of Stoichiometry, 1mol MgCl2 : 1mol Mg2+: 2mol Cl-. There are two moles of chloride ions for every one mole of MgCl2. So if there is one million Mg2+ ions in MgCl2, there will be two million chloride ions in it

Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is also known as baking soda, bread soda, cooking soda, and bicarbonate of soda. It is primarily used in cooking (baking), as a leavening agent. It reacts with acidic components in batters, releasing carbon dioxide, which causes expansion of the batter and forms the characteristic texture and grain in pancakes, cakes, quick breads, etc.
