The atomic number (Z) of the 3 elements F, Ne, and Na, are 9, 10, and 11.
Explanation:
Now Z refers to the number of protons in the element's nucleus, and protons are POSITIVELY charged particles. So a fluoride ion, F−, has 10 electrons rather than 9 (why?), a neutral neon atom has 10 electrons, and a sodium ion, Na+, also has 10 electrons (why?).
So the 3 species are ISOELECTRONIC; they possess the same number of electrons.
You should look at the Periodic Table to confirm the electron number. Elements are (usually) electrically neutral (sometimes they can be ionic if they have lost or gained electrons). If there are 10 positively charged protons in the nucleus, there are NECESSARILY 10 electrons associated with the NEUTRAL atom. I don't know WHY I am capitalizing certain WORDS.
You might ask why sodium will form a positive ion, Na+, whereas F forms a negative ion, F−. This again is a Periodic phenomenon, and explicable on the basis of the electronic structure that the Table formalizes.
Neutral metals tend to be electron-rich species, which have 1 or more electrons in a valence shell remote from the nuclear charge. On the other hand, neutral non-metals have valence electrons in incomplete shells, that do not effectively shield the nuclear charge. The demonstrable consequence is that metals lose electrons to form positive ions, whereas non-metals gain electrons to form negative ions.
500,000 g of baking soda is present in 1000 boxes of 500 g baking soda boxes.
Answer:
Option C.
Explanation:
As 500 g of baking soda is taken in each box of that company. The total weight of baking soda in all the boxes can be determined by adding the weights of each box. This is possible only when the number of boxes is less. But if the number of boxes are large, then we can determine the total weight of baking soda by multiplying the number of boxes with the weight in each box.
So in this case, 1000 boxes are present and in that 500 g of baking soda are present in each box.
So total grams of baking soda will be 1000 * 500 = 5,00,000 g.
Thus, 500,000 g of baking soda is present in 1000 boxes of 500 g baking soda boxes.
