The number of neutrons is the difference between the mass number and the number of protons.

You get the element by looking at the atomic number which is the number of protons. In this case, it is 9 and yes, it is F.

However it is not an atom because it has 10 electrons so you have a fluoride ion F-. 

The number of neutrons = 19 - 9 = 10

Therefore, the answer is D.

- Explain how ionic bonds, covalent bonds, and metallic bonds each form and how.

-Dominant- [34]

Answer: -Ionic bonds form when one atom provides electrons to another atom. Covalent Bonds: Covalent bonds form when two atom shares their valence electrons. Metallic Bonds: Metallic bonds form when a variable number of atoms share a variable number of electrons in a metal lattice.

-Covalent Bonds.

Covalent Compounds. Contain no metals and no ions. Covalent compounds contain nonmetals only.

Example:

Ionic Compounds. A metal with a non-metal. Doesn't use prefixes for naming. Name the metal and change the nonmetal ending to -ide.

Explanation: Ionic bonds form when a nonmetal and a metal exchange electrons, while covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between two nonmetals. An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions.

Answer:

The percent composition of this compound is 94%

Explanation:

The reaction can be formed as

$2 \mathrm{Fe}+3 \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{FeCl}_{3}$

$\frac{\text { Weight of } \mathrm{Cl}_{2}}{\text { 3* Molar Mass of } \mathrm{Cl}_{2}}=\frac{\text { Weight of } \mathrm{Fe}}{2 * \text { Molar Mass of Fe }}$

$\frac{\text { Weight of } \mathrm{Cl}_{2}}{3 *(2 * 35.5)}=\frac{3.56}{2 * 55.8}$

$\text { Weight of } C l_{2}=\frac{3.56 * 3 * 71}{2 * 55.8}=6.79 \mathrm{g}$

$\mathrm{n}\left(\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right)=\mathrm{m}\left(\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right) / \mathrm{M}\left(\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right)=6.79 / 71=0.1 \mathrm{m}$

$\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{Fe})=\mathrm{m}(\mathrm{Fe}) / \mathrm{M}(\mathrm{Fe})=3.56 / 55.8=0.06 \mathrm{m}$

Based on no. of iron reacted,

$\mathrm{n}(\text { moles of } \mathrm{Fe})=\mathrm{n}\left(\text { moles of } \mathrm{FeCl}_{3}\right)$

n = m/M

$\mathrm{m}\left(\mathrm{FeCl}_{3}\right)=\mathrm{n}^{*} \mathrm{M}=0.06^{*} 162.5=9.75 \mathrm{g}$

% composition of $FeCl_3$

= $(9.75 / 10.39)^{*} 100$

= 94%

Explain how thermal energy is transferred in convection.

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Convection occurs when particles with a lot of heat energy in a liquid or gas move and take the place of particles with less heat energy. Heat energy is transferred from hot places to cooler places by convection. Liquids and gases expand when they are heated. ... As a result, the particles take up more volume.
