What is the correct symbol of an ion containing 17 protons,20 neutrons and 18 electrons

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nataliya [291]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The symbol of the ion is A^-

Explanation:

Let A be the symbol of the element.

Proton = 17

Electron = 18

Neutron = 20

Since the element has more electrons than protons, it means it has gain electrons.

From the question given,

The difference between the electron and proton = 18 — 17 = 1

So, the element has gain 1 electron.

Therefore the symbol of the ion is A^-

Metallic bonds are responsible for many properties of metals such as conductivity true or false?.
Alex17521 [72]

It is true that metallic bonds are responsible for many properties of metals such as conductivity.

Metallic bond is a type of chemical bond.

Metallic bond is formed between electrons and positively charged metal ions.

Substances with metallic bond conduct an electric current in liquid and solid state, because they have mobile electrons.

Most metals (for example sodium, calcium, iron, silver) have strong metallic bond, because strong electrostatic attractive force between valence electrons (metals usually have low ionization energy and lose electrons easy) and positively charged metal ions.

Metallic bond increace electrical and thermal conductivity.

Which of the following describes the characteristics of a plasma? (3 points) a Particles are packed closely together, have low c
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

The correct option is;

b. The particles are positively and negatively charged, have high compressibility, and spread out to fill a container

Explanation:

Plasma are gases that contain positively and negatively charged particles. Therefore, plasma flow drift in space such that plasma. like gases has no characteristic shape or volume but takes the shape and fills the entire volume of a container in which it is placed

Other characteristics of plasma are that plasma is a conductor of electricity and magnetic fields can therefore exist in plasma due to the fact that plasma are made of atoms in which part or all of the electrons have been removed leaving the ions to roam freely in a container.
