Explanation:

Atomic number represents the total number of protons present in an atom. On the other hand, atomic mass represents the sum of total number of protons and neutrons present in an atom.

Also, when an atom is neutral then there will be equal number of protons and electrons present in the atom.

Whereas when there is loss of electrons from a neutral atom then it will attain a positive charge and when there is gain of electrons then the atom will attain a negative charge.

For example, atomic number of nitrogen is 7 and in a $N^{3-}$ ion there will be 7 + 3 = 10 electrons and there will be 7 protons.

Hence, we can conclude that the ion $N^{3-}$ has 7 protons and 10 electrons.

The ion N³⁻ is called the azide ion. In its neutral state, it occurs as the element Nitrogen. The atomic number of Nitrogen is 7. When it turns into an anion (negatively charged ion), it gains 3 more electrons. That's why its net charge becomes -3. It means that the protons is still 7, but the electrons are now 10.

Overall charge = +7 + -10 = -3

Classify the following reactions: HCl(aq)+NaOH(aq)→NaCl(aq)+H2O(l)HCl(aq)+NaOH(aq)→NaCl(aq)+H2O(l) Ba(OH)2(aq)+ZnCl2(aq)→BaCl2(a

Savatey [412]

The reactions are

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

Ba(OH)2(aq) + ZnCl2(aq) → BaCl2(aq) + Zn(OH)2(s)

2AgNO3(aq) + Mg(s) → Mg(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)

Answer:

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) = Acid-base reaction

Ba(OH)2(aq) + ZnCl2(aq) → BaCl2(aq) + Zn(OH)2(s) = Precipitation reaction

2AgNO3(aq) + Mg(s) → Mg(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s) = Redox reaction

Explanation:

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) .

The reaction above is an example of an acid-base reaction. Acid-base reaction is a chemical reaction between an acid and a base. The product is usually a salt and water. An acid dissolves in water to produce H+ ion. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid as it is completely dissociated in water. A base dissolves in water to form hydroxide ion(OH-). The sodium hydroxide is a strong base as it completely dissociate in water. The reaction between a base and an acid can be known as a neutralization reaction.

Ba(OH)2(aq) + ZnCl2(aq) → BaCl2(aq) + Zn(OH)2(s)

The reaction above is a precipitation reaction. Precipitation reaction is a reaction where two ionic bonds or cations and anions in an aqueous solution react to form an insoluble salts. The insoluble salt formed is known as the precipitate. The reaction above is an example of a double replacement reaction. From the equation the ions replace each other depending on the cations and anions. They switch partners as both reactants lose their partners to form new partnership with a different ion. The two reactants ( Ba(OH)2 and ZnCl2 ) are aqueous solution, they react to from a solid precipitates( Zn(OH)2(s) ).

2AgNO3(aq) + Mg(s) → Mg(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)

The reaction is known as an oxidation-reduction reaction(Redox reaction). A oxidation-reduction reaction their is a transfer of electron(s) between two species. The oxidation number of a chemical reaction changes by losing or gaining electrons. One of the reactant is a reducing agent and the other is an oxidizing agent.

From the reaction Mg is the reducing agent and AgNO3 is the oxidizing agents.

2 Ag+ + 2 e- → 2 Ag∧0 (reduction)

Mg∧0 - 2 e- → Mg²+ (oxidation)

Writing Chemical Equations

nignag [31]

Answer:

The prefix di means 2 and the prefix hexa means 6.

As per IUPAC rules you must use the prefixes to indicate the number of atoms of each element in the formula.

So, the proper name for the compound C2H6 is dicarbon hexahydride.

Explain why an atom can only emit specific wavelengths of light and not every possible wavelength

ella [17]

Answer:

<em>The electrons in an atom can only occupy certain allowed energy levels to a lower one</em>, the excess energy is emitted as a photon of light, with its wavelength dependent on the change in electron energy. This is why an atom can only emit specific wavelengths of light and not every possible wavelength.
