Answer:

C.) No. of electrons

Explanation:

A.) is incorrect. The atomic number represents the number of protons in an element. Nitrogen (N) and sodium (Na) always have a differing amount of protons.

B.) is incorrect. The mass number represents the number of protons and neutrons in an element. The number of neutrons and protons are specific to each element (disregarding isotopes). When elements ionize, these amounts are not altered.

C.) is correct. When an element becomes an ion, the number of electrons change. When nitrogen gains 3 electrons and sodium loses 1 electron, they end up having the same number of electrons (10).

D.) is incorrect. When elements ionize, the number of neutrons does not change. The only way two different elements could have the same number of neutrons is if at least one of the elements is an isotope. Isotopes are two or more atoms of the same element that differ in their amounts of neutrons.

When 4.41g of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) react with 9.25g of barium hydroxide, water and insoluble barium phosphate form. [T/I-7] a

Answer:

2 H₃PO₄(aq) + 3 Ba(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Ba₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6 H₂O(l)

Explanation:

Let's consider the unbalanced equation that occurs when phosphoric acid reacts with barium hydroxide to form water and barium phosphate. This is a neutralization reaction.

H₃PO₄(aq) + Ba(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Ba₃(PO₄)₂(s) + H₂O(l)

We will balance it using the trial and error method.

First, we will balance Ba atoms by multiplying Ba(OH)₂ by 3 and P atoms by multiplying H₃PO₄ by 2.

2 H₃PO₄(aq) + 3 Ba(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Ba₃(PO₄)₂(s) + H₂O(l)

Finally, we will get the balanced equation by multiplying H₂O by 6.

2 H₃PO₄(aq) + 3 Ba(OH)₂(aq) ⇒ Ba₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6 H₂O(l)

Arrange the sublevels in ascending order by the number of electrons they can contain. p sublevel s sublevel d sublevel f subleve

inn [45]

Electronic configuration of the atom describes the arrangemnet of electrons in different shells and subshells ( sublevels).

Now , there are 4 types of sublevels: s, p , d and f . These sublevels have orbital which are spaces with high probability of having an electron and each orbital can have maximum 2 electrons.

Therefore,

s-sublevel has 1 orbital - it can have maximum 2 electrons.

p-sublevel has 3 orbitals - it can have maximum 6 electrons

d-sublevel has 5 orbitals - it can have maximum 10 electrons

f-sublevel has 7 orbitals - it can have maximum 14 electrons.

Hence, the acsending order of sublevels in terms of maximum number of electrons is:

What are the effects of climate change? Answer this question integrating other topics of science.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

»Climatic change leads to malnutrition.

e.g when its cold season, osmoregulation decreases and rate of metabolism declines.

This is because the enzymes lack that optimum temperature for their catalytic activity to take place hence improper digestion.

»Leads to promotion of predation in ecosystem.

such as reptiles e.g snakes, lizards get away from shelters on cold days since they are cold blooded, hence their predators such as animals, birds increase.
