<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.

Which of the following atoms has the greatest atomic radius? Oxygen (o) fluorine (F) Chlorine (CL) Carbon (C)
Andrei [34K]

Periodic Trend:

The Atomic radius of atoms generally decreases from left to right across a period

Group Trend:

The atomic radius of atoms generally increases from top to bottom within a group. As atomic number increases down a group, there is a increase in the positive nuclear charge, however the co-occurring increase in the number of orbitals wins out, increasing the atomic radius down a group in the periodic table

Answer :

The Atom with the greatest atomic radius is chlorine. Fluorine can be ruled out because it is in the same period as oxygen and further to the right down the period. Chlorine has the largest atomic size because it is farthest down the group of any of the above elements listed.

Using the word bank explain why increasing the temperature increases the rate of reaction​
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:Increasing the temperature increases reaction rates because of the disproportionately large increase in the number of high energy collisions. It is only these collisions (possessing at least the activation energy for the reaction) which result in a reaction.

A runner can run at a speed of 4km/h in 2 hours. What distance will she
damaskus [11]

Answer:

Distance cover = 8 km

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of runner = 4 km/h

Time taken = 2 hour

Find:

Distance cover

Computation:

Distance = Speed x Time

Distance cover = Speed of runner x Time taken

Distance cover = 4 x 2

Distance cover = 8 km
