The atomic number of the sodium atom is 11. The atomic mass number can be estimated by rounding the atomic mass to 23. From this

information, you can find the number of neutrons: 11 protons plus how many neutrons equals a mass number of 23? The number of neutrons would have to be the difference between 23 and 11, which is 12. This fact can be restated this way: 11 protons plus 12 neutrons equals a mass number of 23. For every proton in the nucleus, an electron revolves around the nucleus. Since 11 protons are in sodium, 11 electrons must be in sodium.
The atomic number of the chlorine atom is 17. The atomic mass number can be estimated by rounding the atomic mass to 35. From this information, you can find the number of neutrons, protons, and the number of electrons.

1. How many neutrons are in the chlorine atom?
2. How many electrons are in the chlorine atom?
3. How many protons are in the chlorine atom?

What is an ionic compound? Write an example.
Flura [38]
An ionic compound is a compound between a metal and a non metal where the metal (normally from group 1 or 2) transferrs an electron to the non metal ( most commonly from group 6 or 7) . this is so that both atoms have a full outer shell of electrons. the metal gains a positive charge and the non metal a negative charge. they are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction. an example would be sodium chloride (salt) sodium is in group 1 and chlorine in group 7 so sodium transfers one electron :)

If a sample of a different compound decomposes into 0.429 g of carbon and 0.571 g of oxygen, what is its ratio of the mass of o
EastWind [94]
Ratio  is  the  relationship  between  two  number  indicating  how  many  times the  first  number  containing  the second  number.
The  ratio  of carbon   to  oxygen   is  as  follows
0.429  :0.571
multiply 1000  to  remove  the  decimals
therefore  the  ratio  of  mass  of  carbon  to  mass  of  oxygen =429:571
