Answer:
The 197Au isotope has 79 protons, 79 electrons and 118 neutrons
Explanation:
Step 1: The isotope = 197Au
Step 2: Calculate neutrons, electrons and protons
197 = Number of protons + number of neutrons
Isotopes always have the same proton number ( is the same as the atomic number). For Gold (Au) is this 79.
The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom. Since we have 79 protons, there are also 79 electrons.
All isotopes of Au have a different number of neutrons.
The number of neutrons = 197 -79 = 118 neutrons
The 197Au isotope has 79 protons, 79 electrons and 118 neutrons
Molar mass of empirical formula = 172.8 g/mole
346.6g/172.8 g/mole = 2.00 moles
Molecular formula = C2H2Br4
Answer:
The reaction mentioned in the question is a decomposition reaction.
Explanation:
Decomposition reaction is a specific type of chemical reaction in which the reactant molecule undergo break down to generate its respective products.
NaCl ⇒ Na + Cl2
In the above reaction sodium chloride(NaCl) undergo decomposition or break down to generate Sodium(Na) and chlorine gas(Cl2).
All are true except the statement that ions are formed by changing the number protons in an atom’s nucleus.
A neutral atom contains the same number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge).
If there are <em>more electrons than protons</em>, the atom becomes a <em>negative ion</em>.
If there are <em>fewer electrons than protons</em>, the atom becomes a <em>positive ion</em>.
The protons are in the nucleus, where we can’t easily get at them. The <em>electrons are outside the nucleus</em>, so other chemicals can easily get at them and either remove them or add to their number.
<em>Metals</em> have only a few valence electrons, so it is fairly easy to remove them and <em>form positive ions</em>.
