Explanation:
An alpha particles is basically a helium nucleus and it contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons.
Symbol of an alpha particle is 
. Whereas a neutron is represented by a symbol 
, that is, it has zero protons and only 1 neutron.
Therefore, reaction equation when an aluminum- nuclide transforms into a phosphorus- nuclide by absorbing an alpha particle and emitting a neutron is as follows.
Balance the chemical equation for the chemical reaction.
Convert the given information into moles.
Use stoichiometry for each individual reactant to find the mass of product produced.
The reactant that produces a lesser amount of product is the limiting reagent.
The reactant that produces a larger amount of product is the excess reagent.
To find the amount of remaining excess reactant, subtract the mass of excess reagent consumed from the total mass of excess reagent given.
Answer:
– 1
Explanation:
From the question given above, we obtained the following:
Electron = 8
Net charge of nitrogen =.?
Nitrogen has atomic number of 7. This also means that nitrogen has 7 proton because atomic number of an element is the equal to number of protons in the atom of the element.
Thus, we can obtain the net charge of nitrogen with 8 electrons by calculating the difference between the protons and electrons of the nitrogen atom. This can be obtained as follow:
Proton = 7
Electron = 8
Net charge = Proton – Electron
Net charge = 7 – 8
Net charge = – 1
Therefore, the net charge of the nitrogen atom with 8 electrons is – 1
