Atomic Number is the same as the number of protons in an element.
Mass Number is the number of Protons + Neutrons in an element.

Atomic Number: 6 means 6 Protons
Mass Number: 15 means 15 atoms that are a proton/neutron.
We are given out of the 15 atoms, 6 of them are protons, so the other 9 must be Neutrons.

15 - 6 = 9 so there must be 9 Neutrons.

There are 9 Neutrons in atom's nucleus.

Give Brainiest if you think this is the best answer and explanation. Thanks!

- 6 protons
- 6 electrons
- 15-6 = 9 neutrons

A sample of nitrogen gas, (N2), occupies 45.0 mL at 27.00∘C and 80.0 kPa. What will be the pressure if the gas is cooled to −73.
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The new pressure is 53.3 kPa

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by this law. when the volume remains constant, pressure changes directly proportional as the Aboslute T° is modified.

T° increase → Pressure increase

T° decrease → Pressure decrease

In this case, temperature was really decreased. So the pressure must be lower.

P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂

80 kPa / 300K =  P₂/200K

(80 kPa / 300K) . 200 K = P₂ →  53.3 kPa

Structures of compounds people use every day are shown. From which group of unsaturated hydrocarbons is each derived? 2 carbons
Savatey [412]

The group of unsaturated hydrocarbons which 2 carbons are double bonded together, with H bonded to the left, and C H 2 bonded below left, above right, and below right is derived from <u>Alkenes</u>

<h3>What are organic compounds?</h3>

Organic compounds are compounds which contains carbon and hydrogen

Some few classes or organic compounds or hydrocarbons are as follows:

  • Alkanes
  • Alkenes
  • Alkynes
  • Alkanols
  • Alkanoic acid
  • Ketones
  • Esters

So therefore, the group of unsaturated hydrocarbons which 2 carbons are double bonded together, with H bonded to the left, and C H 2 bonded below left, above right, and below right is derived from <u>Alkenes</u>
