Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Atomic number is the sum of only total number of protons present in an element. Whereas mass number is the sum of total number of both protons and neutrons present in an element.
For example, given atom has mass number as 15 and its atomic number is 7.
Therefore, number of neutrons present in it will be calculated as follows.
Mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons
15 = 7 + no. of neutrons
no. of neutrons = 15 - 7
= 8
Thus, we can conclude that the given atom contains 8 neutrons in the nucleus.
Answer:
Coefficients
Explanation:
Chemical equations are first written as a skeleton equation, which includes how many atoms each element and compound has. Skeleton equations are not 'balanced' because the number of atoms of each element on the left side (reactants) is not equal to the right side (products).
To balance a chemical equation, you can write coefficients in front of single elements and compounds. The coefficient multiplies with each single element and with each element in the compound.
For example, in this skeleton equation:
H₂ + Cl₂ => HCl
Reactants: Products:
2 hydrogen 1 hydrogen
2 chlorine 1 chlorine
Write the coefficient 2 in the products.
H₂ + Cl₂ => 2HCl
Now both reactant and product sides have 2 chlorine and 2 hydrogen, so the equation is balanced.
Answer:
6 Cl0 + 6 e- → 6 Cl-I (reduction)
2 Fe0 - 6 e- → 2 FeIII (oxidation)
