An atom has an atomic number of 12 and a mass number of 25. How many neutrons does the atom have?

1 answer:

6 0

Simple. The atomic number is the number of protons (12) and the mass number is the number of neutrons and protons combined. So you'd subtract 12 from 25 (25-12=) and that'd get you 13 as your answer. If you need to find the number of electrons, it'll be the same as the number of protons unless it has a certain charge and if it does, if it's positive it has more protons (+) than electrons (-), if it is negative it has more electrons (- negatively charged) than protons (+ positively charged)

Examine the layers of rock. How does layering provide evidence for determining geologic age?

ruslelena [56]

Well I can’t see the rocks but, to determine the relative age of different rocks, geologists start with the assumption that unless something has happened, in a sequence of sedimentary rock layers, the newer rock layers will be on top of older ones.

Which of these characteristics do these elements have in common?

Over [174]

C) They each form similar compounds when combined with oxygen.

Explanation:

The given elements have a common characteristics as they each form similar compounds when combined with oxygen.

Beryllium, magnesium and calcium all are located in the alkaline earth group.

Elements in the same group have the same chemical properties.

Density and melting point are physical properties of matter which varies down a group on the periodic table.
Their reaction with oxygen denotes a statement of their chemical properties.
Chemical properties of matter is a function of their valency.
Group two elements have a valency of two. They have two electrons in their outermost shell.
Therefore, they all form ionic bonds when they react with oxygen.
