<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atomic number is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons that are present in a neutral atom. It is represented as Z.

Z = Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons present in an atom. It is represented as A.

A = Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number

For the given options:

  • <u>Option A:</u>

Indium is the 49th element of the periodic table having mass number 115.

So, Number of protons = Number of electrons = 49

Number of neutrons = 115 - 49 = 66

Hence, this is not correctly described.

  • <u>Option B:</u>

Scandium is the 21st element of the periodic table having mass number 45

So, Number of protons = Number of electrons = 21

Number of neutrons = 45 - 21 = 24

Hence, this is not correctly described.

  • <u>Option C:</u>

Aluminium is the 13th element of the periodic table having mass number 27

So, Number of protons = Number of electrons = 13

Number of neutrons = 27 - 13 = 14

Hence, this is not correctly described.

  • <u>Option D:</u>

Zinc is the 30th element of the periodic table.

So, Number of protons = Number of electrons = 30

This atom has 30 protons inside the nucleus and 30 electrons outside the nucleus.

Hence, this is correctly described.

Thus, the correct answer is Option D.

These goats are eating grass on a sunny day. What is happening to the carbon in the air around the living things on the mountain
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

both

Explanation:

Carbon in the air around the living thing is moving in and out of its lungs. The movement is occurring at the same time. This is one of the most important gaseous exchange important to life.

  • The goats takes in oxygen gas from the surrounding and releases carbon dioxide in the process.
  • But, air is actually drawn in by the goat which is a mixture of several gases.
  • Air contains carbon dioxide which is a rich source of carbon
  • With the carbon dioxide from respiratory processes, the goat ejects and breathes out this waste carbon matter.
  • Therefore, the gaseous exchange in a goat involves the movement of carbon in and out of the air.

Among the following options, a valid Lewis structure of __________ cannot be drawn without violating the octet rule.
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

d. IF3

Explanation:

The Octet rule posits that atoms gain, atom lose, or share electrons in order to have a full valence shell of 8 electrons. This statement occurs when atoms also combine to form molecules until they attain or share eight valence electrons either by losing or gaining eletrons.

From the given options, a valid Lewis structure that cannot be drawn without violating the octet rule is IF3
