True or False? An elements reactivity id determined by the number of protons found in an atom of the element? PLEASE HELP ME

1 answer:

False, I think.
I would say it is determined by the number of electrons. The number of protons determines what element it is.
An element will try and fill it's outer shell, and so elements such as neon (a noble gas) is difficult to do anything with as it already has a full outer shell of 8 electrons. Something with 7 outer electrons, however, will be much more reactive as they will try to fill up that last space through a chemical bond.
Not sure if I explained that very well haha,
basically i would say false

A solution of ammonia and water contains 2.10×1025 water molecules and 7.10×1024 ammonia molecules. How many total hydrogen atom

Natali5045456 [20]

There are 6.33 × 10²⁵ hydrogen atoms in this solution in total.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

There are two hydrogen atoms in each water $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecule.
There are three hydrogen atoms in each ammonia $\text{NH}_3$ molecule.

2.10 × 10²⁵ water molecules and 7.10 × 10²⁴ ammonia molecules will contain

$2 \times 2.10 \times 10^{25} + 3 \times 7.10 \times 10^{24} = 6.33 \times 10^{25}$ hydrogen atoms in total.
