One atom of 20 F contains 11 neutrons

<h3>Further Explanation</h3><h3>An atom</h3>
  • An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction. An atom is made up of sub-atomic particles; neutrons, protons and electrons.
<h3>Protons</h3>
  • Protons are subatomic particles that are found in the nucleus of an atom. They are positively charged. with a charge of +1.
  • The number of protons differ from one element to another and thus used as the atomic number of an individual element.
  • The nucleus of an atom is positively charged due to the positive charge of the protons.  
  • Additionally, protons do not take part in chemical reactions but in nuclear reactions.
<h3>Neutrons  </h3>
  • They are sub-atomic particles in an atom that are found in the nucleus of an atom. They have a zero charge or no charge.
  • Neutrons are slightly heavier than protons.
  • The number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus of an atom results to the atomic mass number of an atom. Like protons they only take part in nuclear reactions.
<h3>Electrons  </h3>
  • They are found orbiting the nucleus on energy shells based on Clouds’ theory. Electrons are negatively charged each with a charge of -1.
  • The number of electrons and protons in a neutral atom are equal. Additionally they have the least mass of the three sub-atomic particles.
  • Electrons are the only sub-atomic particles that take part in chemical reactions.
<h3>Atomic number</h3>
  • Atomic number refers to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. The atomic number of fluorine is 9, since it has 9 protons in its nucleus.
<h3>Mass number</h3>
  • Mass number refers to the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
  • Mass number = protons + neutrons

Therefore; 20 F has a mass number of fluorine.

Neutrons = Mass number - protons

                 = 20 - 9

                 = 11

Therefore; 20 F has 11 neutrons

Keywords: Atom, sub-atomic particles, electrons, protons, neutrons

Can someone answer question 3 ASAP please
allsm [11]

Answer:

Molecules must collide with sufficient energy, known as the activation energy, so that chemical bonds can break. Molecules must collide with the proper orientation. A collision that meets these two criteria, and that results in a chemical reaction, is known as a successful collision or an effective collision.

Imagine that Ana has a block made of pure gold. If she cuts this block into two equal pieces, pick the statement that best descr
dimaraw [331]

Answer : The correct statement is:

The density of each piece is the same as that of the original block.

Explanation :

Intensive property : It is defined as a property of substance which does not change as the amount of substance changes.

Examples: Temperature, refractive index, density, hardness, etc.

According to question, if Ana has a block made of pure gold and she cuts this block into two equal pieces then the density of each piece is the same as that of the original block because density is an intensive property that does not changes until and unless material is changed.

That means density remains same as that of the original piece.

Hence, the correct statement is the density of each piece is the same as that of the original block.
