Answer:

Atomic number is the number of electrons or number of protons. That's why neon have ten number of electrons.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

For example

The neon have ten protons and ten neutrons so its atomic mass is 20 amu and atomic number is ten.

Allushta [10]

Answer: Yes, HCl is a strong acid.

acid = HCl , conjugate base = Cl^- , base = H_2O, conjugate acid = H_3O^+

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

Yes HCl is a strong acid as it completely dissociates in water to give H^+ ions.

HCl\rightarrow H^++Cl^-

For the given chemical equation:

HCl+H_2O\rightarrow H_3O^-+Cl^-

Here, HCl is loosing a proton, thus it is considered as an acid and after losing a proton, it forms Cl^- which is a conjugate base.

And, H_2O is gaining a proton, thus it is considered as a base and after gaining a proton, it forms H_3O^+ which is a conjugate acid.

Thus acid =  HCl

conjugate base = Cl^-

base = H_2O

conjugate acid = H_3O^+.
