How do you find a neutron number?

Chemistry
1 answer:
MariettaO [177]3 years ago
6 0
The atomic mass of an element is the sum of the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Because electron mass is virtualy none it contributes to very little of an element's mass.

Thus the atomic mass is the sum of the number of electrons and protons. 

Therefore the number of neutrons can be found by subtracting the number of protons from the atomic mass

Need help, please. :)
wolverine [178]

A change of one unit on the pH scale represents a change in the concentration of hydrogen ions by a factor of 10, a change in two units represents a change in the concentration of hydrogen ions by a factor of 100. Thus, small changes in pH represent large changes in the concentrations of hydrogen ions.

The electron affinity of an element is positive if energy is absorbed during the process of accepting an electron and negative i
julsineya [31]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Electron affinity is the energy released when an extra electron is added to a neutral gaseous atom. A negative value of electron affinity indicates that energy is given out and vice versa.

Metals have positive electron affinity since electrons rarely accept electrons, so;

Na(g)+ 1e^- → Na^-(g)      positive

Mg(g)+1e^- → Mg^-(g)      positive

For the last case; Br(g)+ 1e^- → Br^-(g), the electron affinity for the non-metals is negative. hence the answer

1. 4Na + 02 → 2Na20<br> find the reaction
Vadim26 [7]

oxidation reaction

Explanation:

2 Na2O → 4 Na + O2

This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:

4 NaI + 4 e- → 4 Na0(reduction)

2 O-II - 4 e- → 2 O0(oxidation)

Na2O is an oxidizing agent, Na2O is a reducing agent.
