A.) The reaction is Exothermic
Answer:
A...................................
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.
<h3>1.<u> Answer;</u></h3>
False
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
Bases have some of the following properties;
- They have a bitter taste
- They have a slimy, or soapy feel on fingers
- Most bases react with acids and precipitate salts.
- Strong bases may react violently with acids.
- Bases turn red litmus paper blue
<h3>2. <u>Answer;</u></h3>
An acid
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- When acids are dissolved in water, the concentration of the acid decreases and it becomes dilute.
- It dissociates in water to give H+ ions or hydrogen ions.
- All acidic solutions contain more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions, therefore when added to water it increases the concentration of H+ ions in water, as water is a neutral substance whose concentration of H+ ions is equal to OH-.

Now, balance the equation:


in gaseous state exist as a diatomic molecule.
