<h3>Answer:</h3>

             Number of Protons  =  9

             Number of Neutrons  =  9

             Number of Electrons  =  10

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Number of Protons:

                               The number of protons present in any atom are equal to the atomic number of that particular atom. Hence, as the atomic number of Fluorine is 9 therefore, it contains 9 protons.

Number Neutrons:

                             The number of neutrons present in atom are calculated as,

                                # of Neutrons  =  Atomic Mass - # of protons

As given,

                                Atomic Mass  =  18

                                # of Protons  =  9

So,

                                # of Neutrons  =  18 - 9

                                # of Neutrons  =  9

Number of Electrons:

                                   As we know for a neutral atom the number of electrons are exactly equal to the number of protons present in its nucleus. So, for 9 protons in neutral Fluorine atom there must be 9 electrons. But, we are given with Fluoride Ion (i.e. F⁻) so it contains one extra electron hence, it contains the total of 10 electrons respectively.

Answer:

Anhydrous copper (II) sulphate is white because it has no water in it. When drops of water are added, copper (II) sulphate turns blue. This colour change can be used to detect the presence of water (or water vapour).

Ca(OH)2 + H2SO4 ⟶2H2O + CaSO4 What volume of 1.45 M Ca(OH)2 is needed to react with 25.0 moles of H2SO4?
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

We need 17.2 L of Ca(OH)2

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Concentration of Ca(OH)2 = 1.45 M

Moles of H2SO4 = 25.0 moles

Step 2: The balanced equation

Ca(OH)2 + H2SO4 ⟶2H2O + CaSO4

Step 3: Calculate moles Ca(OH)2

For 1 mol Ca(OH)2 we need 1 mol H2SO4 to produce 2 moles H2O and 1 mol CaSO4

For 25.0 moles H2SO4 we'll need 25.0 moles Ca(OH)2 to produce 50 moles H2O and 25.0 moles CaSO4

Step 4: Calculate volume of Ca(OH)2

Volume Ca(OH)2 = moles Ca(OH)2 / concentration Ca(OH)2

Volume Ca(OH)2 = 25.0 moles / 1.45 M

Volume Ca(OH)2 = 17.2 L

We need 17.2 L of Ca(OH)2

The radius of a lithium atom is 130 picometers, and the radius of a fluorine atom is 60 picometers. The radius of a lithium ion,
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

A positive ions is always smaller than the corresponding atom.

A negative ion is always larger than the corresponding atom.

Explanation:

The reason for this is that, when a positive ion is formed, a full shell is usually removed with its electrons thereby reducing the size of the electron cloud and decreasing the size of the electron cloud.

A negative ion is formed by addition of more electrons to the electron cloud hence it spreads out. Interelectronic repulsion accounts for the larger size of the negative ion.
