Answer: 2.60 x 10^23 molecules
50.0 grams x (1 mol/115.79 grams) = 0.431816219 moles
0.431816219 mol x (6.02 x 10^23 molecules/1 mol) = 2.599533638 x 10^23 molecules (final answer is rounded)
Simply look at the periodic table and fill in what you know based on the table
The number of protons = atomic number
The number of electrons, Which is the same as the atomic number for atoms.
The number of valence electrons that is given by the group that the element is in, the top number of each column in the periodic table.
Answer:
Na₁₁ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹
Explanation:
Sodium is present in group 1.
It is alkali metal.
It has one valence electron.
The atomic number of sodium is 11.
Its atomic mass is 23 amu.
The longhand notation of electronic configuration of sodium can be written as,
Na₁₁ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹
The electronic configuration in shorthand notation( noble gas) would be written as,
Na₁₁ = [Ne] 3s¹
Sodium loses its one valence electron to complete the octet and get stable thus form +1 cation.
It react with halogen and form salt. Such as sodium chloride.
2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl
