How to find how many electrons are in an element

Murljashka [212]

Explanation:

1) Locate the atomic number in the upper left corner of the square. The atomic number will tell you the number of protons

2) In a neutral state, the element will contain the same number of protons as it will electrons.

--> Boron (B) has an atomic number of 5, so it has 5 protons.

--> Having 5 protons (+1 charge each) means to be balanced, it must have 5 electrons (-1 charge each)

However, what if it's not in a neutral state?

If it's not in a neutral state, it will look something like this:

Ca ^ 2+

<em>Btw, the "^" means that it will be written like it's an exponent. That confuses people sometimes.</em>

Anyways, the "2+" means it's an ion with a positive charge of 2. For us to have a positive charge, it means it's lost two electrons (cause electrons are negative, so taking them away means we are left with a more positive charge).

To get the number of remaining electrons, subtract the 2 from the atomic mass. In this case, that would be 20.

20 - 2 = 18 electrons

Another example:

N ^3-

Atomic Number: 7

7 + 3 = 10 electrons.

Why did I add here instead of subtracting? It's cause the 3- means we have added electrons, resulting in the ion having a negative charge. It's got more electrons than usual.

Hopefully this helps a bit.

Which change in the sun’s gravity would occur if the sun’s mass were reduced by one-half?(1 point)

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Gravity or the gravitational force is defined as the force of attraction occurring between all states of matter. The sun’s gravity, mass, and radius plays a crucial role in the properties of the Sun.

Explanation:

The gravity of an object can be determined using the formula:

$\text{g}&=\frac{\text{GM}}{\text{R}^{2} }}$

Now, according to the question, the mass of the sun is halved, which will be written as:

$\text{g}&=\frac{\text{G}\frac{\text{M}}{2}}{\text{R}^{2} }}$

Thus, according to the equation, the mass of an object is directly proportional to the gravitational field. since, the mass of the Sun is reduced to half, the gravity of the Sun will be halved.

Consider the following ionization reaction.

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry, an acid is a proton donor while a base is a proton acceptor.

Hence, if we consider the reaction above, we will notice that for each base there is a conjugate acid and for each acid there is a conjugate base.

For the acid HNO3, its conjugate base is NO3^- while for the acid H3O^+, its conjugate base is H2O.
