Answer: 12 Protons, 12 electrons and 16 neutrons. The number of protons and electrons always stays the same, but the neutrons is the mass-protons. In this case, 28-12=16 neutrons.
Since the choices are missing, I will tell you why non-metals tend to form covalent bonds. You can then link this answer to the best fit choice.
Ionic bond is only formed due to an electrostatic attraction force between ions of opposite charges which cannot happen in case of non-metals whose ions are mostly anions.
On the other hand, a covalent bond is formed due to electrons being shared among different atoms. This conditions is satisfied for the bonds between non-metals
Answer:
66.7 g
Explanation:
Number of atoms = 2×10²¹
Mass of 2×10²¹ atoms = 0.4 g
Mass of 0.5 moles of that element = ?
Solution:
1 mole contain 6.022×10²³ atoms
2×10²¹ atoms × 1 mol / 6.022×10²³ atoms
0.33×10⁻² mol
0.003 mol
0.003 mole have mass of 0.4 g
0.5 mol have mass 0.5/0.003×0.4 g = 66.7 g
The correct answer is C. Hope it helped!!!!!
Answer:The formulas of ionic compounds are:
a)
b)
c)
d)
Explanation:
Formulas for the an ionic compounds is determine by:
Criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.
(a) Copper bromide :Given that it contains 
ion.
(b) Manganese oxide : Given that it contains 
ion.
(c)Mercury iodide :Given that it contains 
(d) Magnesium phosphate :Given that it contains
