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! :)

What mass of sodium hydroxide will completely neutralize 2.5 mol of sulfuric acid?
VMariaS [17]

Given :

2.5 mole of Sulfuric acid ( H_2SO_4 ) .

To Find :

Mass of sodium hydroxide will completely neutralize 2.5 mol of sulfuric acid

Solution :

Let us assume volume of water be 1 L .

Now , we know , to neutralize 1 mole of sulfuric acid we need 2 moles of NaOH .

So , for 2.5 mole sulfuric acid required 5 mole of NaOH .

Moles of NaOH ,

n=M\times Volume \\\\n=5\times 1=5\ moles  

Molecular mass of NaOH , M.M = 58.44 g/mol .

Mass of 5 moles of NaOH :

m=5\times 58.44\ g\\\\m=292.2\ g

Hence , this is the required solution .

A compound is formed when 12.2 g Mg combines completely with 5.16 g N. What is the percent composition of this compound? Please
STALIN [3.7K]
3Mg + N₂= Mg₃N₂
n(Mg)=12,2g÷<span>24,4g/mol=0,5mol-limiting reagent
</span>n(N₂)=5,16g÷28g/mol=0,18mol
n(Mg₃N₂):n(Mg)=1:3, n(Mg₃N₂)=0,166mol, m(Mg₃N₂)=0,166·101,2=16,8g.
%(N)= 2·Ar(N)÷Mr(Mg₃N₂) = 2·14÷101,2=27,66%=0,2766
%(Mg) = 3·Ar(Mg)÷Mr(Mg₃N₂)= 3·24,4÷101,2=72,34% or 100% - 27,66%= 72,34%.

In the ground-state electron configuration of fe3+, how many unpaired electrons are present? express your answer numerically as
Virty [35]
Answer:
            Iron has 5 unpaired electrons in Fe⁺³ state.

Explanation:

Iron having atomic number 26 has following electronic configuration in neutral state.

                             Fe =  1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d⁶

When Iron looses three electrons it attains +3 charge with following electronic configuration.

                             Fe⁺³ =  1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 3d⁵

The five electrons in d-orbital exist in unpaired form as,

                          3(dz)¹, 3d(xz)¹, 3d(yz)¹, 3d(xy)¹, 3(dx²-y²)¹
