Atomic Number definition: The number of protons within the nucleus of x atom.

Atomic Mass definition: The number of protons and/+ neutrons within the nucleus of x atom. 

The given information states that the element has 8 protons and 8 neutrons in its nuclei with 8 electrons revolving around it. If the atomic number is 'the number of protons' and we have 8 given protons, our answer would be 8.  If the atomic mass is protons + neutrons and we have 8 protons and neutrons, our answer for atomic mass would inevitably be 16. 

Therefore

Atomic number: 8

Atomic mass: 16

The activity series goes top to bottom, most active to least active elements, going: Li, K, Ba, Sr, Ca, Na, Mg, Mn, Zn, Fe, Cd, Co, Ni, Sn, Pb, H, Cu, Ag, Hg, Au. 

Thus, your list of metals would go from most reactive to least reactive: Li, K, Mg, Zn, Fe, Cu, Au

Solid chromium (III) reacts with oxygen gas to form solid Cr2O3. What is this type of reaction?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

.081 g of O2

Explanation:

4Cr + 3O2 -----> 2Cr2O3

.175 g Cr x [1 mole / 52.0 g] x [2 moles Cr2O3 / 4 moles Cr] x [152 g / 1 mole] = .256 g of Cr2O3

.175 g Cr x [1 mole / 52.0 g] x [3 moles O2 / 4 moles Cr] x [32 g / 1 mole] = .081 g of O2

How is the oxidation state of a transition metal determined from the chemical formula ?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a chemical formula, the oxidation state of transition metals can be determined by establishing the relationships between the electrons gained and that which is lost by an atom.

We know that for compounds to be formed, atoms would either lose, gain or share electrons between one another.

The oxidation state is usually expressed using the oxidation number and it is a formal charge assigned to an atom which is present in a molecule or ion.

To ascertain the oxidation state, we have to comply with some rules:

  • The algebraic sum of all oxidation numbers of an atom in a neutral compound is zero.
  • The algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in an ion containing more than one kind of atom is equal to  the charge on the ion.

For example, let us find the oxidation state of Cr in Cr₂O₇²⁻

This would be:  2x + 7(-2) = -2

                          x = +6

We see that the oxidation number of Cr, a transition metal in the given ion is +6.

Which sequence contains elements listed from most reactive<br> to least reactive?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Transition metals, alkali metals, alkaline earth metals Transition metals - Middle of the periodic chart, only average reactivity. alkali metals - As mentioned above, very reactive. Bad choice, going from lower reactivity to higher reactivity.

Hope this answer is right!
