Answer:

The correct choice is E (47 neutrons, 35 protons, 36 electrons)

Explanation:

A ion of net charge -1 means that the ion wins an e-.

We dismiss options B and C.

We also dismiss option A because neutrons + protons = 81.

neutrons + protons = mass number

So we have E and C.

We see that C has 47 neutrons, 36 protons and 36 electrons and, as the atomic number matches the number of protons, we find out on the Periodic Table that the atomic number 36 represents to Krypton, a noble gas. It is impossible! A noble gas never can't be a ion of net charge.

Option E is correct, It is an isotope of Br.

Br has 35 protons (its atomic number)

47 neutrons, that's why it is an Isotope (Br has always 45 neutrons)

As usual, Br has 35 electrons, if it represents a ion of net charge -1, it menas it won 1 e-.

solniwko [45]

Answer:

Br^-1

Explanation:

It is an ion that gained an extra electron making it 36 electrons but the other. one is in the neutral state with 35 electrons

What combination of forces was the closest match? Why?
Virty [35]

Answer: COMBINED FORCES

When forces act in the same direction, they combine to make a bigger force. When they act in opposite directions, they can cancel one another out. If the forces acting on an object balance, the object does not move, but may change shape.

2) Which liberates the most energy?
evablogger [386]

Answer: F(g)+e^-\rightarrow F^-(g)

Explanation:

Electron gain enthalpy is defined as energy released on addition of electron to an isolated gaseous atom.  

The amount of energy released will be maximum when the tendency to attract electrons is maximum. As flourine has atomic number of 9 and has electronic configuration of 2,7. It can readily gain 1 electron to attain stable noble gas configuration and hence liberates maximum energy.

F(g)+e^-\rightarrow F^-(g)
