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 type of reaction is illustrated below?2H1 --&gt; H2 + 12
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Decomposition reaction.

Explanation:

2HI —> H₂ + I₂

From the above equation, we can see clearly that HI undergoes a reaction to produce H₂ and I₂ which are the elements that make up HI.

Therefore, the equation illustrated above is a decomposition reaction because HI breaks into H₂ and I₂

NOTE: Decomposition reaction is a reaction in which a compound splits or breakdown into two or more simple elements or compound.
