Answer:

A gold atom in its neutral state has 79 electrons

Explanation:

The atomic number of gold (Au) in the periodic table is 79. Atomic number is the number of protons present in the nucleus of an atom. The number of protons in an atom is equivalent to the number of electrons in a neutral atom, this is because the number of positively charged particles (protons) must be balanced by the number of negatively charged particles (electrons).

A gold atom has an atomic number of 79. The atomic number is equal to the number of protons. The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons an atom has in its neutral state.

Well, that was pretty complicated.

Simply, a gold atom has 79 electrons in it's neutral state.

How is an isotope different from the standard form of a chemical element?
velikii [3]

Answer:

  • The standard form of a chemical element is the natural mixture of several isotopes of the same element, which is atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons, while an isotope is a particular kind of atom with a definite number of neutrons.

Explanation:

A <em>chemical element</em> is a pure substance formed by atoms with the same atomic number (number of protons). This is because it is the number of protons what identifies an element.

For example: oxygen is a chemical element, so oxygen is formed by only atoms of oxygen, and the atomic number of those atoms is 8, because every oxygen atom has 8 protons.

Nevertheless, some atoms of oxygen, may have different number of neutrons. Isotopes are different kind of atoms of the same element, which only differ in the number of neutrons. So, some atoms of oxygen will have 8 neutrons, other 9 neutrons, and other 10 neutrons (those are the stable isotopes of oxygen).

That difference in neutrons, is generally accepted that, does not modifiy substantially the chemical properties of the element, but the mass number. So, the isotopes with more neutrons wil be heavier, and the isotopes with less neutrons will be lighter.

  • Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons.

In general a chemical element is formed by a mixutre of isotopes of the same element.

A gas mixture contains 3.0 mol of hydrogen (H2) and 7.3 mol of nitrogen (N2). The total pressure of the mixture is 304 kPa. What
Inga [223]

Answer:

Mole fraction H₂ = 0.29

Partial pressure of H₂ → 88.5 kPa

Explanation:

You need to know this relation to solve this:

Moles of a gas / Total moles = Partial pressure of the gas / Total pressure

Total moles = 3 mol + 7.3 mol → 10.3 moles

Mole fraction H₂ → 3 moles / 10.3 moles = 0.29

Mole fraction = Partial pressure of the gas / Total pressure

0.29 . 304 kPa = Partial pressure of H₂ → 88.5 kPa
