How to find the number of neutrons in an isotope?

Alexeev081 [22]

Chemical properties of elements are primarily determined by the electrons but not by neutrons. Therefore, the isotopes of the same element have similar chemical behavior. (a) The atomic number is 17, so there are 17 protons and 17 electrons. The mass number is 35, so there are 18 (=35-17) neutrons. Hope this helps. :)

Or a hydrogen atom, which electronic transition would result in the emission of a photon with the highest energy?

ELEN [110]

This electronic transition would result in the emission of a photon with the highest energy: 4p – 2s This can be the same with the emission of 4f to 2s which would emit energy in the visible region. The energy in the visible region would emit more energy than in the infrared region which makes this emission to have the highest energy.

Answer : The formula for the compound sodium carbonate is $Na_2CO_3$

The formula for the compound potassium permanganate is $KMnO_4$

Explanation :

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced.

The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non-metals.

(a) Sodium carbonate

In the compound, the sodium metal forms an ionic compound with polyatomic anion (carbonate) $CO_3^{2-}$ .

Here, sodium is having an oxidation state of +1 called as $Na^{1+}$ cation and carbonate $CO_3^{2-}$ is an anion with oxidation state of -2. The charges are not balanced. So, the charges are balanced by the cris-cross method. Thus, the compound formed will be, $Na_2CO_3$

Hence, the formula for the compound sodium carbonate is $Na_2CO_3$

(b) Potassium permanganate

In the compound, the potassium metal forms an ionic compound with polyatomic anion (permanganate) $MnO_4^{1-}$ .

Here, potassium is having an oxidation state of +1 called as $K^{1+}$ cation and permanganate $MnO_4^{1-}$ is an anion with oxidation state of -1. The charges are balanced. Thus, the compound formed will be, $KMnO_4$

Hence, the formula for the compound potassium permanganate is $KMnO_4$
