Answer:

A) False

B) True

C) True

D) True

Explanation:

A) False. If the charge of the atom is +2 means that you have two protons more than number of electrons. If you have 36 electrons you must have <em>38 protons.</em> Also, the electrons are not in the nucleus.

B) True. The isotope of X contains 38 protons, two more than the electron number.

C) True. The mass number is the number of protons + number of neutrons.

If the mass number is 79 and there are 38 protons you must have 41 neutrons.

D) True. You can now the identity of the atom with the number of protons that is the same than atomic number. The strontium, Sr, is the atom with 38 as atomic number.

I hope it helps!

Laura has 3 beakers. Each contain 200cm3 of colourless liquid. Describe how Laura could determine which beakers contain pure wat
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Laura can look for a transparent and  translucent liquid and hence determine which beaker has water and which has solution

Explanation:

Pure water is a compound that is transparent in color. However, a solution is a liquid mixture comprising of a solvent or a solute. The atoms of solute occupy space between the atoms of solvent and hence are said to dissolve in it. Water can be a solvent.  

Thus, if the beaker has a transparent liquid in it, then it would be pure water while a beaker having a translucent liquid, then it would be a solution
