2 electrons. it has electron configuration of 2.8.8.2 hence the last 2 will be lost for it to gain stable.

________ is defined as the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. ________ is defined as the number of protons plus the
velikii [3]

Answer:

Mass number is defined as the number of protons plus the number of neutrons.

Explanation:

Every atom of an element have proton(s), neutron(s) and electron(s). The proton number of an element is the atomic number of that element. For an electronically neutral atom the proton number is equal to the electron numbers. The neutron and the proton contributes to the mass of every atom. The electron is more active when atoms are bonding.

Mass number of an element is the number of proton plus the number of neutron.  

Atomic number of an atom is the number of proton present, so it can never be atomic number.

Isotopy talks about same element having different number of neutron but same number of protons in each atom.  Example is hydrogen that exist as protium, deuterium and tritium. It cannot be isotopic number.

Ionic number talks about elements that possess a charge. The elements have been ionized.

The answer is Mass number because the sum of proton number and neutron number is equals to mass number.

A Mercury(II) chloride dissolves in water to give poorly conducting solutions, indicating that the compound is largely nonionize
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Using valence bond theory, HgCl2 is sp hybridized while PCl3 is sp3 hybridized.

Explanation:

sp hybridized molecules are largely covalent and cannot conduct electricity hence the nonconducting nature of HgCl2. PCl3 contains a lone pair and three unpaired electrons in sp3 hybridized orbitals.

A 0.100 m solution of butanoic acid has a % deprotonation of 1.23%. determine the ph of the butanoic acid solution.
MrRissso [65]
Chemical reaction: C₃H₇COOH → C₃H₇COO⁻ + H⁺.
c(<span>butanoic acid) = 0,100 M.
</span>α = 1,23% = 0,0123.
Ka = α² · c / 1 - α.
Ka = 0,0123² · 0,1 M / 1 - 0,0123.
Ka = 0,0000153 M.
Ka = c(C₃H₇COO⁻) · c(H⁺) / c(C₃H₇COOH).
c(H⁺) = α · c(C₃H₇COOH).
c(H⁺) = 0,0123 · 0,1 M = 0,00123 mol/L.
pH = -log c(H⁺).
pH = 2,91.
