The answer would be 68. The atomic number will signify the number of protons in an element so if the atomic number is 68, then the number of protons is 68 and the number of electrons is also 68 in order to maintain a nuclear charge.

Answer: 68.

Explanation:

The atomic number is the number that idenfities an element.

The atomic number is the number of protons of an element.

Every element has a different number of protons.

The elements are arranged in the periodic table as per their atomic number (number of protons).

The first element is hydrogen (H), its atomic number is 1, and it has 1 proton.

The second element is helium (He), its atomic number is 2 (it has 2 protons)-

Those two elements form the first period (row) of the periodic table.

The second row (period) has the elements Li, Be, B, C, N, O, F and Ne, whose respective atomic numbers (number of protons are) 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, respectively.

And so, you may idenfity each of the 118 elements known, with a different atomic number (number of protons).

Why is it important to know where a resource, that you're using, is renewable or nonrenewable?
NemiM [27]

Answer:

It is important to know if a resource is renewable or non-renewable because renewable resources are self-sustaining (unlike non-renewable resources). If a non-renewable resource is used too often, that resource may eventually become non-existant. This can also happen to renewable resources, but it is more difficult.

To reduce 16 ounces of a 25% solution of antiseptic to a 10% solution, how much distilled water should a nurse add?
NemiM [27]
<span>Let x = amt of distilled water
:
A simple equation
.25(16) = .10(x+16)
4 = .10x + 1.6

4 - 1.6 = .1x
2.4 = .1x
x = 2.4/0.1
x = 24 oz of distilled water
:
:
Prove this by seeing the amt of antiseptic is the same (only the % changes)
.25(16) = .10(24+16)
4 = .1(40)

Describe what does happen to the electrons when metal atoms are bonded together.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: In metallic bonds, the valence electrons from the s and p orbitals of the interacting metal atoms delocalize. That is to say, instead of orbiting their respective metal atoms, they form a “sea” of electrons that surrounds the positively charged atomic nuclei of the interacting metal ions. Metals are shiny.

Explanation: Hope this helped!

9- Which pair of formulae represents two alkanes? (1 mark)
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

A) CH4 and C8H18

Explanation:

  • General Formula for an Alkane = CnH2n+2

  • This means for every number of Carbon (C) atoms, there are twice as many Hydrogen (H) atoms with an additional two added onto that.

  • Therefore, if there is one Carbon Atom, and we multiply that by two, and then add an additional two, we get 4 Hydrogen atoms, so CH4, which is our first Formulae

  • Secondly, if we have eight Carbon Atoms, and we multiple that by two (16), and then add an additional two, we get 18 Hydrogen atoms, so C8H18, which is our second Formulae

  • The other Formulas do not follow this 'General Formula'
