The atomic number (Z) of the 3 elements F, Ne, and Na, are 9, 10, and 11.

Explanation:

Now Z refers to the number of protons in the element's nucleus, and protons are POSITIVELY charged particles. So a fluoride ion, F−, has 10 electrons rather than 9 (why?), a neutral neon atom has 10 electrons, and a sodium ion, Na+, also has 10 electrons (why?).

So the 3 species are ISOELECTRONIC; they possess the same number of electrons. 

You should look at the Periodic Table to confirm the electron number. Elements are (usually) electrically neutral (sometimes they can be ionic if they have lost or gained electrons). If there are 10 positively charged protons in the nucleus, there are NECESSARILY 10 electrons associated with the NEUTRAL atom. I don't know WHY I am capitalizing certain WORDS.

You might ask why sodium will form a positive ion, Na+, whereas F forms a negative ion, F−. This again is a Periodic phenomenon, and explicable on the basis of the electronic structure that the Table formalizes.

Neutral metals tend to be electron-rich species, which have 1 or more electrons in a valence shell remote from the nuclear charge. On the other hand, neutral non-metals have valence electrons in incomplete shells, that do not effectively shield the nuclear charge. The demonstrable consequence is that metals lose electrons to form positive ions, whereas non-metals gain electrons to form negative ions.

In the Hall-Heroult process, a large electric current is passed through a solution of aluminum oxide dissolved in molten cryolit
natka813 [3]

The given question incomplete, the complete question is:

In the Hall-Heroult process, a large electric current is passed through a solution of aluminum oxide (Al,03) dissolved in molten cryolite (Na, Alts).re in the reduction of the Al, o, to pure aluminum. Suppose a current of 1800. A is passed through a Hall-Heroult cell for 37.0 seconds. Calculate the mass of pure aluminum produced Be sure your answer has a unit symbol and the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

The correct answer is 6.2114 grams.

Explanation:

Based on the given question, the value of current or I have given is 1800 amperes, the time given is 37 seconds, and there is a need to find the mass of the pure aluminum generated in the process. Mass or weight can be determined by using Faraday's first law equation, that is, w = MIt/nF.  

Here, M is the atomic mass, w is the weight of the substance deposited, t is time, I is current, n is the number of moles of the electron, and F is the Faraday's constant, which is 96500 C. In the process mentioned in the question, aluminum oxide is reduced to give rise to pure aluminum, and in the process 3 electrons are gained. So, the value of n will be 3. The M or the atomic mass of Al is 27 gm per mole. Now putting the values in the equation we get,  

w = 27*1800*37 / 3*96500

w = 1798200 / 289500

w = 6.2114 grams

Hence, pure aluminum produced in the process is 6.2114 grams.

Choose the reaction that represents the combustion of C6H12O2.
Leona [35]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  letter D

Explanation:

In a combustion reaction, the reactants are always a molecule with Carbon that reacts with oxygen and the products are carbon dioxide and water.

According to the explanation, the only possible solution is:

a) C₆H₁₂O₂(l) ⇒ 6 C(s) + 6 H₂(g) + O₂(g)

b) Mg(s) + C₆H₁₂O₂(l) ⇒ MgC₆H₁₂O₂(aq)

c) 6 C(s) + 6 H₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇒ C₆H₁₂O₂(l)

d) C₆H₁₂O₂(l) + 8 O₂(g) ⇒ 6 CO₂(g) + 6 H₂O(g)

e) None of the above represent the combustion of C₆H₁₂O₂.
