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

Can someone please help me:( please dont scroll <br><br> create 2 quantitative observations
shusha [124]

Answer:

a quantitative observation implies that the subject can be measured by quantity, aka amount or in numbers.

Ex 1: adding one gram of salt to one gram of sugar makes two grams of seasoning. in this example, there are individual quantities (1 gram of each) and total quantity (2 grams). this only changes if the substances have a chemical reaction, such as one of them destroying the other, then the weight would change.

Ex 2: a more simple example is the weight of something. putting the substance on a scale (one specifically for whatever you are measuring, whether it be liquid or solid) is the best way to determine its quantity.
