<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.

padilas [110]

Answer:

The majority of the weight in an atom is found in the nucleus.

Explanation:

The protons and neutrons that make up the nucleus of the atom may take up a tiny amount of space in comparison to the rest of the atom, but they are far more dense than the electrons that orbit the nucleus.

Suppose you were preparing 1.0 L of a bleaching solution in a volumetric flask, and it calls for 0.21 mol of NaOCl. If all you h
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

0.256 L  

Explanation:

We should use the following formula:

concentration (1) × volume (1) =  concentration (2) × volume (2)

concentration (1) = 0.82 M NaOCl

volume (1) = ?

concentration (2) = 0.21 M NaOCl

volume (2) = 1 L

volume (1) = [concentration (2) × volume (2)] / concentration (1)

volume (1) = [0.21 / 1] / 0.82 = 0.256 L
