The atomic number of lithium is 3. How many neutrons does an atom of lithium have if it is represented by the symbol shown below
2 answers:
Answer:
Lithium has 4 neutrons
Explanation:
The number shown above the lithium symbol (Li) is the mass number.
The mass number (A) represents the protons and neutrons an atom has.
The atomic number(Z) in the other hand represents the protons only.
So, the difference between this two numbers is the amount of neutrons.

The enthalpy change : -196.2 kJ/mol
<h3>Further explanation </h3>The change in enthalpy in the formation of 1 mole of the elements is called enthalpy of formation
The enthalpy of formation measured in standard conditions (25 ° C, 1 atm) is called the standard enthalpy of formation (ΔHf °)
(ΔH) can be positive (endothermic = requires heat) or negative (exothermic = releasing heat)
The value of ° H ° can be calculated from the change in enthalpy of standard formation:
∆H ° rxn = ∑n ∆Hf ° (product) - ∑n ∆Hf ° (reactants)
Reaction
2 H₂O₂(l)-→ 2 H₂O(l) + O₂(g)
∆H ° rxn = 2. ∆Hf ° H₂O - 2. ∆Hf °H₂O₂
