<u>Answer:</u> Number of protons and electrons in Zinc are 30 and number of neutrons in zinc are 35.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Zinc is the 30th element of the periodic table having mass number of 65.

  • Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons present in an element. It is represented as Z.

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons

For Zinc:

Z = 30

So, Number of protons = Number of electrons = 30

  • Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons. It is represented as A.

Mass number = Number of neutrons + Number of protons

A = 65

So, Number of neutrons = 65 - 30 = 35

Hence,  number of protons and electrons in Zinc are 30 and number of neutrons in zinc are 35.

Explain why the coin is able to float on top of the water in this glass.
zubka84 [21]
Surface tension is the result of water molecules pulling inward with a strong attractive force. 
The attractive force brings the molecules on the surface of the water close together.
The attractive force causes the surface of the water to be drawn toward the water molecules beneath the surface. <span>
Since there are no water molecules above the surface, there are uneven forces. This causes surface tension, allowing the coin to float on the water’s surface.</span>

How many atoms of S are there?
jonny [76]
Atoms of sulfur = 9.60⋅g32.06⋅g⋅mol−1×6.022×1023⋅mol−1 . Because the units all cancel out, the answer is clearly a number, ≅2×1023 as required.

A gas that effuses through a porous cylinder 1.87 times faster than chlorine gas. what is the molar mass and identity.
Rufina [12.5K]
From the Graham's law of effusion;
R1/R2 = √MM2/√MM1
Molar mass of chlorine gas is 71
Therefore;
1.87= √ 71 /√mm1
= 1.87² = 71/mm1 
mm1 = 71/1.87²
         = 71/3.4969
         = 20.3
Thus, the molar mass of the other gas is 20.3 , and i think the gas is neon
