An atom is made up of three different particles, which are proton, neutron and electron. The proton and the neutron are located in the nucleus of the atom and they make up mass of the atom. The electron orbit around the nucleus. The proton is positively charged while the electron is negatively charged, thus, for the atom to remain neutral, the number of proton and electron in an atom must be equal. The neutron has no charge.
The atomic mass of an element = number of proton + number of neutron
Atomic mass of magnesium= 24
Number of proton = 12
Therefore, number of neutron = 24 - 12 = 12.
Thus, the number of neutron = 12.
Answer:
the magnitude and direction of d → B on the x ‑axis at x = 2.50 m is -6.4 × 10⁻¹¹T(Along z direction)
the magnitude and direction of d → B on the z ‑axis at z = 5.00 m is 1.6 × 10⁻¹¹T(Along x direction)
Explanation:
Use Biot, Savart, the magnetic field
Given that,
i = 1.00A
d → l = 4.00 m m ^ j
r = 2.5m
Displacement vector is
=2.5m
on the axis of x at x = 2.5
r = 2.5m
And unit vector
Therefore, the magnetic field is as follow
(Along z direction)
B)r = 5.00m
Displacement vector is
=5.00m
on the axis of x at x = 5.0
r = 5.00m
And unit vector
Therefore, the magnetic field is as follow
(Along x direction)
Answer: to achieve a stable octet of electrons in their outer shell
Explanation:
- Sodium (Na) has an atomic number of 11, and an electronic configuration of 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s1.
- Chlorine (CI) Sodium (Na) has an atomic number of 17, and an electronic configuration of 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p5.
Hence, sodium donates its single valence electron to chlorine, thereby achieving a stable octet structure of 1s2, 2s2 2p6 while chlorine accept the single electron also forming a stable octet structure of 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p6. Therefore, the reaction yields NaCl, an ionic compound with ionic (electrovalent) bond.
Na + Cl --> NaCl
Thus, Sodium(Na) and Chlorine (CI) want to form a lonic Bond because both acheive a completely filled outermost shell (octet structure)
A). It takes air in from outside the body.
