Why does an atom of 23NA have 23 electrons

Chemistry

Julli [10]3 years ago

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

Express the following numbers as decimals: (a) 1.52 x 10^-2, (b) 7.78 x 10^-8, (c) 1 x 10^-6, (d) 1.6001 x 10^3.
Alchen [17]

Answer :

(a) 0.0152

(b) 0.0000000778

(c) 0.000001

(d) 1600.1

Explanation :

Scientific notation : It is the representation of expressing the numbers that are too big or too small and are represented in the decimal form with one digit before the decimal point times 10 raise to the power.

For example :

5000 is written as 5.0\times 10^3

889.9 is written as 8.899\times 10^{-2}

In this examples, 5000 and 889.9 are written in the standard notation and 5.0\times 10^3  and 8.899\times 10^{-2}  are written in the scientific notation.

(a) 1.52\times 10^{-2}

The standard notation is, 0.0152

(b) 7.78\times 10^{-8}

The standard notation is, 0.0000000778

(c) 1\times 10^{-6}

The standard notation is, 0.000001

(d) 1.6001\times 10^{3}

The standard notation is, 1600.1

7. Suppose each of these isotopes emits a beta particle. Give the iso-
Volgvan

In a beta emission, the mass number of the daughter nucleus remains unchanged while the atomic number of the daughter nucleus increases by one unit. The following are isotopes produced when the following undergo beta emission;

1) potassium-42  ------> Ca - 42

2) iodine-131 ------------> Xe - 131

3)  iron-52 ---------------> Co - 52

4)  sodium-24 -----------> Mg -24

The daughter nucleus formed after beta emission is found one place after its parent in the periodic table.

Regarding the stability of the daughter nuclei, a nucleus is unstable if the neutron-proton ratio is less than 1 or greater than 1.5.

Hence, the following daughter nuclei are stable; Ca - 42, Xe - 131, Mg -24.
