Here we have to choose the atom which has same number of neutrons as 14N

The atom which has same number of neutrons as 14N among the given atoms is (D) 13C

We know, in an atom the number of electrons (atomic number) is equivalent to the number of protons. For nitrogen (N), the number of electron is 7. Thus the number of protons present in the nucleus is also 7 to make the atom uncharged.

The mass number of the atom is the number of the neutrons + number of the protons. In 14N there are 7 protons and 7 neutrons.

Thus among the given atoms the atom which has 7 neutrons will have the same number of neutrons.

A) Now in 16O the atomic number is 8 and mass number is 16. Thus the number of protons and neutrons are each 8 units.

B) In 15N, the atomic number is 7 but mass number is 15, thus number of protons and neutrons are 7 and 8 respectively.

C) In 14P the atomic number is 15 but mass number is 14, so number of protons and neutrons are 15 and -1 (not exist) respectively.

D) In 13C the atomic number is 6 and mass number is 13. So the number of protons are 6 and number of neutrons are 7.

Thus the correct answer will be D) 13C.

Do any of the elements have similar properties? ​
Marysya12 [62]

Hello! Charchar here!

Answer:

I don't know what the elements are soo

The elements in the first column of the Periodic Table (other than hydrogen) are known as Group 1A metals, or alkali metals. When you compare the chemical properties of these elements (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium), what you'll notice is that they are all remarkably similar.

Explanation:

Hope this helped!

Have a nice day!

Which of the following compounds contains the Lead (II) ion?<br> PbO<br> PbCl4<br> Pb2O<br> Pb2S
KATRIN_1 [288]
<span>PbO Let's look at each of the 4 compounds and see what's needed. PbO. * Oxygen has a valance shell that's missing 2 electrons and wants to get those 2 elections. Lead donates them, so you have a Lead (II) ions. This is a correct choice. PbCl4 * Chlorine wants to grab 1 electron to fill it's valance shell and Lead donates that election. However, there's 4 chlorine atoms and every one of them wants and electron, and lead is donating all 4 of the desired electrons making the Lead (IV) ion. So this is a bad choice. Pb2O * Oxygen still wants 2 electrons and gets them from the lead. But there's 2 lead atoms and each of them donates 1 election making for 2 Lead(I) ions. So this too is a bad choice. Pb2S * Sulfur is in the same column of the periodic table as oxygen and if this compound were to exist would have similar properties as Pb2O and would have Lead(I) ions. So this is a bad choice.</span>
