<span>Atomic number of magnesium is 12. That implies that in ground state magnesium has 2 electrons in the first level, 8 electrons in the second level, and 2 electrons in the third level. That is represented by 2 8 2. That the atom is in an excited state means that one electron (at least) is a upper level than where it is in grounded state. That situation is represented by the option (1) 2 7 3, where one electron from the second level has been promoted to the third level.</span>

The answers are (1) and (3). Because the number of atoms in magnesium is 12.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2>

The atomic number or proton number (symbol Z) of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus. The amount is identical to the amount of charge in the core. The atomic number uniquely identifies chemical elements. In uncharged atoms, the atomic number is also the same as the number of electrons. The sum of atomic numbers Z and the number of neutrons N gives the mass number A of an atom. Because protons and neutrons have roughly the same mass (and the mass of electrons is ignored for many purposes) and nucleon bond energy is always small compared to nucleon mass, when the atomic mass of each atom is expressed in units of integrated atomic mass (into a quantity called "mass relative isotope "), worth about 1% of all A. numbers. Atoms with the same atomic number Z but neutron N numbers are different, and therefore have different atomic masses, known as isotopes. More than three-quarters of the elements present in nature are in a mixture of isotope conditions, and the average mass of the isotope for the mixture of isotopes of an element (called relative atomic mass) in the environment on Earth, determines the standard atomic weight of the element. Historically, the weight of these atomic elements (compared to hydrogen) is the amount that can be measured by chemists in the 19th century.

The writing of the elemental symbol was introduced in the Middle Ages by John Dalton (1810) who made a very simple elemental symbol as a circle. Along with the development of the discovery of the element J.J Berzelius (1779-1848) made the symbol of the element that is used as the basis for writing the element symbol until now, with the provisions: one symbol element consisting of one letter, then the writing must be in capital letters. Two symbol elements consisting of two letters, then the writing with capital letters in the first letter, and lowercase letters for the second.

The chemical formula of a substance states the type and the relative number of atoms contained in that substance. The number that states the number of atoms of an element in a chemical formula is called the index number. Chemical formulas may be either molecular formulas or empirical formulas.  

The formula could be a formula that states the number of atoms of the weather that frame one molecule of a compound. So the molecular formula expresses the actual arrangement of matter molecules.

Hydrogen is an element with two naturally occurring isotopes: 2 H and 3 H. This means that 2 H, which has a mass number of 2, ha
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

TRUE.

Explanation:

Mass Number is the sum of protons and neutrons present in the nucleus of an atom. Isotopy is a phenonmenon that occurs when atoms of same elements have different mass number (Number of neutrons).

2H isotope has 1 proton and 1 neutron.

3H isotope has 1 proton and 2 neutrons.

This meeans 2H isotope has fewer neutrons when compared to the 3H isotope. The correct option is TRUE.

quizlet nitrogen can have variable number of nuetrons(isotopes) it can also have varible number of electrons ehile becomon an io
mafiozo [28]

Nitrogen has 7 protons, 7 neutrons, and 7 electrons.

Seven protons, seven neutrons, and seven electrons make up nitrogen-14.

Utilize the atomic number and mass number of an atom to determine the number of subatomic particles it contains: Atomic number Equals proton count. Electron count equals atomic number. Atomic number - mass number equals the number of neutrons.

Seven protons, seven neutrons, and seven electrons make up the atom of nitrogen. The nucleus is the collection of protons and neutrons that make up the center of an atom. The 7 electrons, which are much smaller than the nucleus, orbit it in what is known as orbits. Since nitrogen-14 is a neutral atom, the number of protons in its nucleus must match the number of electrons around it.

The balanced reaction is 3 Ca ( s ) + N 2 ( g )  →  Ca 3 N 2 ( s ).

<u>Explanation</u>:

A chemical equation is said to be balanced when the total number of atoms present on the reactants side is equal to the total number of atoms present on the product side.

The unbalanced chemical equation is as follows,

                             Ca ( s ) + N 2 ( g )  →  Ca 3 N 2 ( s )

To balance this equation, you need to look at how many atoms of each element are present on each side of the chemical equation.

 Calcium has  1  atom on the reactant and  3  on the products side. To balance the reaction we need to multiply the calcium atom by  3  on the reactants side.

                            3 Ca ( s ) + N 2 ( g )  →  Ca 3 N 2 ( s )    

Now  Nitrogen has a coefficient of  2  on both sides of the reaction. Hence the balanced chemical equation will thus be

                              3 Ca ( s ) + N 2 ( g )  →  Ca 3 N 2 ( s )
