Answer: The number of protons plus the number of neutrons equals the atomic mass.
Explanation:
Atomic mass is defined as total number of protons and neutrons in the atom.
It is an average mass of an atom.
It is expressed in atomic mass unit that is a.m.u.
It is denoted with symbol 'A'.

Answer:
By satisfying the duet rule or the octet rule, ions are more stable.
Explanation:
Ionic bonds are formed through the exchange of valence electrons between atoms, typically a metal and a nonmetal. The loss or gain of valence electrons allows ions to obey the octet rule and become more stable.
The octet rule states that an atom is most stable when there are eight electrons in its valence shell. Atoms with less than eight electrons tend to satisfy the duet rule, having two electrons in their valence shell. By satisfying the duet rule or the octet rule, ions are more stable.

Answer: The lowest possible whole number coefficient for water is 1.
Explanation:
A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.
The balanced chemical reation for aqueous solutions of lithium hydroxide and acetic acid react to yield lithium acetate and water is:

Thus the lowest possible whole number coefficient for water is 1.
