Explanation:
The atoms of one element differs from the atoms of other elements in terms of the number of protons they contain. This is often taken as the atomic number of such an atom.
- The number of proton is the best indicator of the atom one is dealing with.
- Based on this number, elements are categorized into distinct columns and rows on the periodic table.
- The atomic number is the number of protons or positively charge particles in the atom.
II.
It is possible to change the identity of an atom. This is only possible by altering the atomic number of the atom.
Only nuclear reactions have this capability.
When an atom undergoes nuclear reaction that involves change in number of protons, transmutation occurs and a new atom forms.

Answer: 7.693 L
Explanation:
To calculate the new volume, we use the equation given by Boyle's law. This law states that pressure is directly proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature.
The equation given by this law is:
where,
are initial pressure and volume.
are final pressure and volume.
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Thus new volume of the gas is 7.693 L
We are told we have an oxyacid of the formula HOFO. We will assume the atoms are in this order and will draw a proper lewis structure for this compound by first drawing bonds between each of the 4 atoms and then place the remaining electron pairs on each atom:
.. .. ..
H - O - F - O:
·· ·· ··
We can calculate the formal charge of an atom using the following formula:
Formal charge = [# of valence electrons] - [# of non-bonded electrons + # of bonds]
H: Formal charge = [1]-[0+1] = 0
O: Formal charge = [6]-[4+2] = 0
F: Formal charge = [7]-[4+2] = +1
O: Formal charge = [6]-[6+1] = -1
As we can see the overall charge of the molecule is neutral since the fluorine as a +1 charge and the oxygen a -1 charge.
