Answer:
No.
Explanation:
When mass is destroyed, it has to have been transformed into something else. Otherwise that would violate the Law of Conversion of Mass. In this case, the wood converted some of its mass in chemical energy to thermal (or heat) energy.
Answer:
This is a chemical symbol for Potassium Bromide
Full electron configuration of barium: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p6 4d10 5s2 5p6 6s2
Answer:
It has 5 neutrons
Explanation:
The fact that it is a neutral atom tells us that the number of electrons and protons is the same:
- The problem tells us there are 4 electrons, thus there are 4 protons.
The average mass of an atom is the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons:
- Mass = # Protons + # Neutrons
With the above information in mind we can <u>calculate the number of neutrons</u>:
- 9 amu = 4 Protons + # Neutrons
Answer:
Paired = 12
Unpaired = 0
Explanation:
Magnesium is alkaline earth metal.
It is present in second group.
Its atomic number is 12 and atomic mass 24 amu.
Electronic configuration:
Mg₁₂ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²
It can seen from electronic configuration that all electrons are paired because s subshell have one orbital and it can accomodate two electrons. Each s subshells in magnesium have two electrons so these are filled and have paired electrons. While p subshell have three orbitals and can accomodate six electrons two by each orbital with opposite spin thus 2p is also filled and have paired electrons.
