How is atomic number different from mass number?

Hello Gary My Man!

Well, as you can clearly see 

<span>The atomic number of an element is basically the number of protons it has. So yes, for every element this is different. Now, the mass number of an element as known, is the number of protons+the number of neutrons.  So theoretically as we can see, this number should be a whole number, but since there are different isotopes (atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons) of each element, most periodic tables take account of that, so they often include decimals as seen. 

So in Short, ALL</span> the atoms of a particular element have the SAME EXACT atomic number<span> (</span>number<span> of protons of course). The </span>atoms of different elements have very different numbers of protons. And of course, the MASS number of an atom is the TOTAL number as known, of protons and of course, the neutrons it contains in it.

I Hope my answer has come to your Help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead! :)

Draw the most stable resonance structure for the intermediate in the electrophilic aromatic bromination of aniline, anisole, and
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Here's what I get

Explanation:

(a) Intermediates

The three structures below represent one contributor to the resonance-stabilized intermediate, in which the lone pair electrons on the heteroatom are participating (the + charge on the heteroatoms do not show up very well).

(b) Relative Stabilities

The relative stabilities decrease in the order shown.

N is more basic than O, so NH₂ is the best electron donating group (EDG) and will best stabilize the positive charge in the ring. However, the lone pair electrons on the N in acetanilide are also involved in resonance with the carbonyl group, so they are not as available for stabilization of the ring.

(c) Relative reactivities

The relative reactivities would be

C₆H₅-NH₂ >  C₆H₅-OCH₃ > C₆H₅-NHCOCH₃

Describe a situation in your life when you might see the ideal gas law exhibited.
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The ideal gas law is expressed mathematically by the ideal gas equation as follows;

P·V = n·R·T

Where;

P = The gas pressure

V = The volume of the gas

n = The number of moles of the gas present

R = The universal gas constant

T = The temperature of the gas

A situation where the ideal gas law is exhibited is in the atmosphere just before rainfall

The atmospheric temperature of the area expecting rainfall drops, (when there is appreciable blockage of the Sun's rays by cloud covering) followed by increased wind towards the area, which indicates that the area was in a state of a low pressure, 'P', and or volume, 'V', or a combination of both low pressure and volume P·V

When the entry flow of air into the area is observed to have reduced, the temperature of the air in the area is simultaneously sensed to have risen slightly, therefore, the combination of P·V is seen to be proportional to the temperature, 'T', and the number of moles of air particles, 'n' in the area
