If an atom has 30 electrons and 35 neutrons, what is its approximate atomic mass? what is the name of this element?

1 answer:

6 0

30 electrons = atomic number
Look at your periodic table. You will see zinc has a atomic number (the top number) of 30.

When you add 30 and 35 you get 65. The is the atoms ATOMIC MASS. So looking at zinc on the periodic table, look at its bottom number, which is its atomic mass. It will be 65.

This means the name of the element is ZINC.

Hope this helped!

Is there an N−Cl bond in solid ammonium chloride?

Tems11 [23]

When ammonia is reacted with HCl it abstracts proton from acid and forms Ammonium Ion and Chloride Ion.

NH₃ + HCl → ⁺NH₄ + Cl⁻ (simply Written NH₄Cl)
Structure,
The structure of Ammonium Chloride is among those structures which contains all three types of bonding's, i.e.

Ionic Bond

Covalent Bond

Coordinate Covalent Bond

Three Hydrogen atoms previously bonded with Nitrogen are covalent in nature. The new incoming proton from HCl forms co-ordinate covalent bond with Nitrogen and Chloride Ion containing negative charge make Ionic Bond with the positive Ammonium Ion. In question, if the line between Nitrogen and Chlorine atom is assumed covalent then it is incorrect. Structure is shown below,

Would you expect salts like NaCl, which have singly-charged ions, to have larger or smaller lattice energies compared to salts l

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

NaCl has a smaller lattice energy compared to CaO

Explanation:

We have remember that lattice energy increases as the size of the ions in the ionic solid decreases. According to Oxford dictionary; lattice energy is "a measure of the energy contained in the crystal lattice of a compound, equal to the energy that would be released if the component ions were brought together from infinity."

We know that the larger the magnitude of charge on a cation the smaller in size the cation is and the size of anions increase from left to right in the periodic table. Hence Ca^2+<Na^+ and O^2- < Cl^-. Therefore the lattice energy of CaO is greater than that of NaCl.

Which of the following equations is balanced?

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

A) 4P + 5O₂ → 2P₂O₅

Explanation:

A) 4P + 5O₂ → 2P₂O₅

This equation is balanced. There are four phosphorus and ten oxygen atoms are on both side of equation.

B) 5P + 4O₂ → 2P₄O₅

This equation is not balanced. There are five phosphorus and eight oxygen atoms on left, eight phosphorus ten oxygen on right side of equation.

C) 2P + O₂ → P₂O₅

This equation is not balanced. There are two phosphorus, two oxygen atoms on left and two phosphorus five oxygen on right side of equation.

D) 4P + 2O₂ → 2P₄O₅

This equation is not balanced. There are four phosphorus, four oxygen atoms on left and eight phosphorus ten oxygen on right side of equation.
