Why does an atom of 23NA have 23 electrons

1 answer:

7 0

It is actually something standardized more so than theoretical, however in terms of atoms in general the electrons are based on the amount of electronic shells that an atom has and the amount of electrons that atom can accommodate. In the case of sodium, it has three shells with 2 electrons on the first shell which is the maximum, 8 on the second shell which is also the max and 1 on their final shell
So simply put an ATOM of Sodium (Na) has 23 electrons because it has 23 protons which is a fact

A location along stream where most erosions occur

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

At a stream's headwaters, often high in the mountains, gradients are steep. The stream moves fast and does lots of work eroding the stream bed.As a stream moves into lower areas, the gradient is not as steep. Now the stream does more work eroding the edges of its banks.

How many total electrons does the P^3- ion have? O a. 3 O b. 31 O c.1 O d. 15 O e. 18

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

e. 18

Explanation:

A neutral P atom has an atomic number of 15, which means there are 15 protons in the atom. In order to be neutral, the P atom must also have 15 electrons.

The P³⁻ anion has 3 electrons more than the neutral P atom since it has a charge of -3.

Thus, the total number of electrons are 15 + 3 = 18 electrons.

A city in Laguna generates 0.96 kg per capita per day of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Makati City in Metro Manila generates 1.9

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

i) amount of MSW generated:

Laguna: 19200 Kg/day

Makati: 38000 Kg/day

ii) number of trucks to collect twice weekly:

Laguna: 3 trucks

Makati: 5 trucks

iii) volume of MSW in tons that enter landfill/week:

Laguna: 147.84 ton/week

Makati: 292 ton/week

Explanation:

i) Laguna: 0.96 Kg person / day of MSW * 20000 = 19200 Kg MSW / day

⇒ Laguna: 19200 Kg/day * ( 7day/ week ) = 134400 Kg/week

Makati: 1.9 Kg person / day of MSW * 20000 = 38000 Kg MSW / day

⇒ Makati: 38000 Kg/day * ( 7day/week ) = 266000 Kg/week

ii) truck capacity = 4.4 ton * ( Kg / 0.0011 ton ) = 4000 Kg

⇒ quote/day = 4000 Kg * 0.75 = 3000 Kg

⇒ loads/day = 2 * 3000 kg = 6000 Kg

⇒ operate/week = 5 * 6000 Kg = 30000 Kg

∴ Laguna: number of trucks needed/week= 134400 / 30000 = 4.48 ≅ 5 trucks

⇒ number of trucks to collect twice weekly = 5 / 2 = 2.5 ≅ 3 trucks

∴ Makati : number of trucks needed/week = 266000 / 30000 = 8.86 ≅ 9 trucks

⇒ number of trucks to collect twice weekly = 9 / 2 = 4.5 ≅ 5 trucks

iii) enter landfill/week:

Laguna: 134400Kg MSW/week * ( 0.0011 ton/Kg ) = 147.84 ton/week

Makati: 266000Kg MSW/week * ( 0.0011 ton/Kg ) = 292 ton/week
