Answer:
They are similarly charged, which is why they repel each other.
Answer:
A) 20
B) 40
C) Ca
D) 10
E) 9
F) F
Explanation:
The MASS NUMBER is the number of protons + the number of neutrons.
The ATOMIC NUMBER is the number of protons.
You can take the MASS NUMBER - ATOMIC NUMBER = NUMBER OF NEUTRONS.
Each element is unique and distinguished by the NUMBER OF PROTONS = ATOMIC NUMBER, ie...the number of protons in its nucleus. You can find the element's name and symbol on the Periodic Table.
The reaction must be a + b --> c
Then you can predict a reaction rate, r o the type r = k * a^n * b^m
Given that the reaction rate is not affected by the concentration of b you can state that m = 0 and r = k * a^n.
Now given, that there is a proportional relation between the reaction rate and a (double a gives double rate), then n = 1 and r = k*a. You can verify that if you dobule a r also doubles.
Answer: r = k*a
