Given :
An atom of a certain element has 12 protons, 14 neutrons, and 2 valence electrons.
To Find :
The name of this element.
Solution :
We know, element with atomic number ( number of protons ) 12 and valance electrons is Magnesium.
Now, isotope of magnesium of proton with 14 neutrons is Mg-16 .
Therefore, name of element is Mg-16 .
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
The correct statement is:
E - The entropy of the products is greater than the entropy of the reactants.
Explanation:
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ → 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O
As glucose is a large molecule and then it is transformed into many molecules of water and carbon dioxide, the entropy of the system increases. If the number of molecules increases, the disorder increases.
Initial state: 7 molecules (1 glucose + 6 oxygen)
Final state: 12 molecules (6 carbon dioxide + 6 water)
<span>The copper would go under oxidation since it will be losing two electrons. Copper starts out with an oxidation number of zero, but in order to balance the compound of CuO with the Oxygen having an oxidation number of -2, a positive 2 is required</span>
