Atomic Mass will be 23 the new magnesium formed will be its isotope of magnesium.

We know that,

In stable condition

Number of electrons = Number of protons

Atomic number represents number of proton .

So, here number of proton is 12

Therefore, number of electron is 12

We know that -

Atomic mass = number of protons +Number of neutron

So if magnesium loses one neutron i.e. new number of neutron is 11

then its atomic mass changes.

New atomic mass will be

Atomic mass = 12 + 11

Atomic mass = 23

This new element with atomic mass 23 and atomic number 12 is the isotope of magnesium.

16. As he developed his periodic table, Mendeleev grouped the elements lithium,
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

the reactivity and the valence electrons

Explanation:

the reactivity of the elements would have played a significant role in why such elements were grouped together. the number of valence electrons dictates how reactive an element is - the less valence electrons the more reactive it is. the column, group 1 in which these elements are put together in, show that each of the elements have 1 valence electrons and are therefore reactive.

you can go on to further explain what valence electrons are, explain what the group numbers are associated with the valence electrons and how valence electrons effect reactivity. further this, talk about how the three elements have the same number of valence electrons and therefore were grouped together

Which has not been a major source of CFCs
ipn [44]

Answer : Any natural sources of CFC's are not known only the major sources like aerosols, propellants, refrigerants,etc are known. So, if any natural sources are given then it cannot be called as a major source for emitting CFC into environment.

What is the correct 1 letter code for the amino acid sequence Glutamic Acid-Histadine-Tyrosine Select one: a. E-H-Y b. G-H-T c.
EastWind [94]

Answer:

a. E-H-Y

Explanation:

A group of three nucleotides is called a codon that codes for a specific amino acid in the protein. There are 20 essential amino acids present in human body and are required in the diet.

Each amino acid is given a one-letter code that makes the study of amino acid sequences easy. One letter code for the given amino acid sequence Glutamic Acid-Histidine-Tyrosine is E-H-Y in which E is code for Glutamic Acid, H is a code for Histidine, and Y is a code for Tyrosine.

Hence, the correct answer is "a. E-H-Y".

What is the percent composition of chromium in CrCl3?
maks197457 [2]

The oxidation state of Chromium chloride (III) is +3

How can we find the answer?

First of all write down what you know about the molecule:

1: The molecule hasn't got an electric charge (is not an ione), this means that either positive and negative charges of its atoms are balanced (we have the same number of positve and negative charges)

2: Since it's a salt, where the metal is chromium and the non metal is the alogen Chlorine, we know that the negative charge belogns to the non metal element because of its elettronegativity, therefore the positive charge belongs to the metale element (chromium).

3: when chlorin forms binary salts its oxidation state is always -1 (you can find out this info in a periodic table)

In <span>CrC<span>l3</span></span> we have 3 chlorine atoms where each of them carrys 1 negative charge, so the total amount of negative charges is -3

Since the charges are balanced, the question is: Which is the positive charge that Chromium must carry in order to balance 3 negative charges?

The answer comes out to +3
