<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.

Why do the atoms in a piece of copper metal have no net charge?
Marat540 [252]

Answer;

-The charges of the positive and negative copper ions cancel each other out.

Explanation;

-A normal atom has a neutral charge with equal numbers of positive and negative particles.That means an atom with a neutral charge is one where the number of electrons is equal to the atomic number.

-Atoms are electrically neutral because they have equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). If an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes an ion. If it gains one or more electrons, it now carries a net negative charge, and is thus anionic.

Write a ground state electron configuration for each neutral atom
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Pb[lead] [Xe]4f^145d^106s^26p^2

U[uranium] 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^10 4p^6 5s^2 4d^10 5p^6 6s^2 4e^14 5d^10 6p^6

7s^2 5f^4

This notation can be written in core notation or noble gas notation by replacing the

1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^10 4p^6 5s^2 4d^10 5p^6 6s^2 4e^14 5d^10 6p^6

7s^2 5f^4

with the noble gas [Rn].

[Rn]7s25f4

N[nitrogen] The full electron configuration for nitrogen is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^3.

Ti[titanium] Ti2+:[Ar]3d^2

Ti:1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 3d^2 4s^2

1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^5 = 17 electrons

(1) electron gain will result to a

negative charge (−), and

(2) electron loss will result to a positive charge (+),

1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 = 18 electrons

Hg[mercury] You should then find its atomic number is 80. It has a Xe core, so in shorthand notation, you can include [Xe]instead of

1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 3d^10 4s^2 4p^6 4d^10 5s^2 5p^6,

for 54 electrons. For the 6th row of the periodic table, we introduce the 4f orbitals, and proceed to atoms having occupied 5d orbitals. We, as usual, have the ns orbitals, and n=? for the 6th period?

Mercury has a regular electron configuration. It becomes:

[Xe]4f145d106s2

Given the balanced equation, 2 H2 + O2 -&gt; 2 H2O, answer the following
9966 [12]

Answer: O_2 is the limiting reagent

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} H_2=\frac{10.0g}{2g/mol}=5.00moles

\text{Moles of} O_2=\frac{20.0g}{32g/mol}=0.625moles

The balanced chemical reaction is :

2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O

According to stoichiometry :

1 moles of O_2 require = 2 moles of H_2

Thus 0.625 moles of O_2 will require=\frac{2}{1}\times 0.625=1.25moles of H_2

Thus O_2 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and H_2 is the excess reagent as it is present more than the required amount.
