The step in the nitrogen that is accelerated at the beginning of the eutrophication process is producer uptake of nitrogen. The correct answer is C.
Helium - 4 isotope has 2 protons and 2 neutrons.
Its atomic number is 2 (the number of protons). Atomic number is the number of protons in the atom of an element and it identifies the element. All the isotopes of an element have the same atomic number (same number of protons). So, all the isotopes of hellium have 2 protons.
The number 4 that identifies the helium - 4 isotope is the mass number, i.e. the number of protons plus the number of neutron. So, helium-4 isotope has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. While, other isotopes of helium have 2 protons but different number of neutrons.
The atomic number enable us to deduce the number of electrons in an atom because the atoms are neutral, which implies that the positive and negative charge are equal. Given that the magnitude of the charge of electons and protons are equal but the sign is opposed (protons are positve and electrons are negative) the number of electrons in the atom equals the number of protonts. That is why the atomic number is also the number of electrons of the atom.
I might go with d it seems right to me hope this helps.
Answer:
-2
Explanation:
carbonate oxifation number is -2
Make a quick chart with each element represented, and count them up. HINT - leave the polyatomic anions together - in this case, PO4
Left Right
1 Ca 3
2 O 1
5 H 2
1 PO4 2
Begin by balancing like finding common denominators of fractions - apply to both sides:
I started by adding a 2 in front of H3PO4 on the left, them 6 in front of H2O on the right. Last, a 3 in front of Ca (OH)2. Then, re-count using the chart format to make sure you're right.
3Ca(OH)2 + 2H3PO4 = Ca3(PO4)2 + 6H2O
