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

What can be said about the spontaneity of this reaction? cdiamond→cgraphite
anastassius [24]
The gibbs free energy of the reaction of diamond to graphite is equal to -2.90 kJ/mol. The free energy is negative which means that the reaction is spontaneous. Therefore, the forward reaction is favored. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

What happens to the electronegativity as you go from Lithium to Francium?<br> Why?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Electronegativity in group 1 decreases as we go from Lithium to Francium.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as the tendency of an element to attract an electron pair towards itself.

In a group generally this tendency decreases from top to bottom as the size of the atom increases and hence the positive nucleus get far from the outer orbital.

In the same way group 1 elements i.e. from Lithium to Francium electronegativity decreases.
