An element’s atomic number is equal to the number of protons in that element’s nucleus. The mass number is the total number of an atom’s protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge; electrons have a negative charge; and neutrons are electrically neutral.

Putting it all together, given that the atomic number of lead is 82, the number of protons a lead atom contains is 82. The number of neutrons would be the difference between 207 and 82, or 125 neutrons. Finally, since you have a neutral atom, there must be an equal number of electrons as the number of protons—that is, 82 electrons.

Thus, you’ve got 82 protons, 125 neutrons, and 82 electrons.

Propane, C3H8, consists of ________________ bonds and it can be expected to dissolve in hexane and to not dissolve in water.
PtichkaEL [24]

Non-polar covalent

Explanation:

Propane is made up of non-polar covalent bonds and it can be expected to dissolve in hexane and to not dissolve in water.

Propane is an hydrocarbon gas.

It forms by sharing of electrons between two atoms with very low electronegativity differences.

This differences results in equal sharing of the shared electron. Therefore they form a non-polar covalent bond.

Water is a polar covalent compound and cannot dissolve compounds that are not polar like propane.

Propane will only dissolve in a like substance like hexane which is equally non-polar.

What happens to the air in the colloid when ice cream melts
Contact [7]

The colloid formed by ice cream remains stable only at cold temperatures. When ice cream is warmed above freezing, its dispersed particles absorb energy and begin to move faster. When the fast-moving particles collide, they sometimes stick together.

An atom with an atomic number of 10 and a mass number of 24 would have ________.
Anastaziya [24]

An atom with an atomic number of 10 and a mass number of 24 would have 14 neutrons.

<h3>What is atomic number and mass number?</h3>

The term atomic number, conventionally denoted by the symbol Z.

Atomic number indicates the number of protons present in the nucleus of an atom, which is also equal to the number of electrons in an uncharged atom.

The mass number of a given atom is defined by the number of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus. In simple,

Protons + Neutrons = Mass Number
