Since the Chlorine gained an electron, it became a chlorine ion with +1 charge. Therefore, it is Cl⁺¹.

Answer:

The charge would be -1.

Explanation:

The atomic number refers to the number of protons an atom has. Chlorine is electrically neutral, so it has the same  number of positive charges (protons) than negative charges (electrons). Therefore, chlorine has 17 protons and 17 electrons. When it gains 1 electron, it will have an excess of one negative charge, so the charge of the ion will be -1, forming Cl⁻.

2.2 Chromium has four naturally-occurring isotopes: 4.34% of 50Cr, with an atomic weight of 49.9460 amu; 83.79% of 52Cr, with an
shutvik [7]

Answer:

Average atomic mass  = 51.9963 amu

Explanation:

Given data:

Abundance of Cr⁵⁰ with atomic mass= 4.34% ,  49.9460 amu

Abundance of Cr⁵² with atomic mass = 83.79%,  51.9405 amu

Abundance of Cr⁵³ with atomic mass =9.50%,  52.9407 amu

Abundance of Cr⁵⁴ with atomic mass  = 2.37%,   53.9389 amu

Average atomic mass = 51.9963 amu

Solution:

Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass +....n)  / 100

Average atomic mass  = (4.34×49.9460)+(83.79×51.9405) +(9.50×52.9407)+ (2.37×53.9389) / 100

Average atomic mass =  216.7656 + 4352.0945 + 502.9367 +127.8352 / 100

Average atomic mass  = 5199.632 / 100

Average atomic mass  = 51.9963 amu
