Sodium has 11 protons, therefore number of neutrons must be 23 – 11 = 12 neutrons.

Sodium has 12 neutrons.

<h3>What are neutrons?</h3>

The neutron is a subatomic particle with the symbol n that is slightly heavier than a proton and has a neutral charge (i.e., neither a positive nor a negative charge). Atoms' nuclei are made up of protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are both referred to as nucleons because of how similarly they function inside the nucleus and because they both have masses that are about equal to one atomic mass unit. Nuclear physics describes their characteristics and interactions.

The arrangement of electrons around an atom's hefty nucleus largely determines its chemical characteristics. The amount of protons, or atomic number, determines the charge of the nucleus, which determines the electron configuration.

The diameter of neutral atoms generally decreases going left to right across one period on the periodic table. What change cause
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Explanation:

Atomic size gradually decreases from left to right across the periodic table because within a period of elements, all electrons are added to the same shell. However, at the same time, protons are being added to the nucleus, making it more positively charged. The effect of increasing proton number is greater than that of the increasing electron number. Therefore, there is a stronger nuclear attraction. This means that the nucleus attracts the electrons more strongly, pulling the atom's electron shells closer to the nucleus. As a result, the atomic diameter of the atom decreases.

4.28 x 10^24 molecules of chlorine gas to moles of chlorine gas.​
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

7.1 moles Cl₂

Explanation:

To solve this problem we will use <em>Avogadro's number </em>(Aₙ), which tells us how many molecules (or atoms) are present in 1 mol of any given substance

Aₙ = 6.023 x 10²³ molecules/mol

With that in mind now we proceed to convert molecules into moles:

4.28 x 10²⁴ molecules Cl₂ ÷ 6.023 x 10²³ molecules/mol = 7.1 moles Cl₂

A set of orbital for which the quantum number l=2 is
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The second quantum number, known as the angular or orbital quantum number, describes the subshell and gives the magnitude of the orbital angular momentum through the relation. In chemistry and spectroscopy, ℓ = 0 is called an s orbital, ℓ = 1 a p orbital, ℓ = 2 a d orbital, and ℓ = 3 an f orbital.
