120 neutrons are present in mercury
vivado [14]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

120 neutrons

Explanation:

Mercury has an atomic number of 80. The atomic number (Z) represents the number of protons. Then,

Z = p⁺ = 80

Mercury has a mass number of 200. The mass number (A) represents the sum of protons and neutrons. Then,

A = p⁺ + n° = 200

We can establish that,

A = Z + n°

n° = A - Z

n° = 200 - 80 = 120

What is the molecular geometry if you have 3 single bonds and 1 lone pair around the central atom?
Elodia [21]

Answer:

There are 2 double bond units and 1 lone pair, which will try to get as far apart as possible - taking up a trigonal planar arrangement. Because the lone pair isn't counted when you describe the shape, SO2 is described as bent or V-shaped.

If you have a gold brick that is 2cm by 3cm by 4cm and has density of 19.3g/cm3, what is its mass?
natulia [17]
Volume = a x a x a  

V = 2 cm x 3 cm x 4 cm => 24 cm³

Density = 19.3 g/cm³

Mass = ?

Therefore:

m = D x V

m = 19.3 x 24

m = 463.2 g
