Answer : The correct option is, (A) 10

Explanation :

Atomic number : It is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons.  That means,

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Atomic mass : It is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons.

Atomic mass = Number of neutrons + Number of protons

As we are given that,

The atomic number of an element = 10

The atomic mass of an element = 20

Now we have to determine the number of neutrons.

Atomic number = number of protons = 10

Atomic mass = Number of neutrons + Number of protons

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Number of protons

Number of neutrons = 20 - 10 = 10

Therefore, the number of neutrons are, 10

A chemistry student must write down in her lab notebook the concentration of a solution of sodium hydroxide. The concentration o
taurus [48]

Answer:

The concentration the student should write down in her lab is 2.2 mol/L

Explanation:

Atomic mass of the elements are:

Na: 22.989 u

S: 32.065 u

O: 15.999 u

Molar mass of sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3 = (2*22.989 + 2*32.065 + 3*15.999) g/mol = 158.105 g/mol.

Mass of Na2S2O3 taken = (19.440 - 2.2) g = 17.240 g.

For mole(s) of Na2S2O3 = (mass taken)/(molar mass)

= (17.240 g)/(158.105 g/mol) = 0.1090 mole.

Volume of the solution = 50.29 mL = (50.29 mL)*(1 L)/(1000 mL)

= 0.05029 L.

To find the molar concentration of the sodium thiosulfate solution prepared we use the formula:

= (moles of sodium thiosulfate)/(volume of solution in L)

= (0.1090 mole)/(0.05029 L)

= 2.1674 mol/L

What label is given to an orbital with quantum numbers n=4 and l=1?
shtirl [24]

The principal quantum number, <span>nn</span>, designates the principal electron shell. Because n describes the most probable distance of the electrons from the nucleus, the larger the number n is, the farther the electron is from the nucleus, the larger the size of the orbital, and the larger the atom is. n can be any positive integer starting at 1, as <span><span>n=1</span><span>n=1</span></span> designates the first principal shell (the innermost shell). The first principal shell is also called the ground state, or lowest energy state. This explains why <span>nn</span> can not be 0 or any negative integer, because there exists no atoms with zero or a negative amount of energy levels/principal shells. When an electron is in an excited state or it gains energy, it may jump to the second principle shell, where <span><span>n=2</span><span>n=2</span></span>. This is called absorption because the electron is "absorbing" photons, or energy. Known as emission, electrons can also "emit" energy as they jump to lower principle shells, where n decreases by whole numbers. As the energy of the electron increases, so does the principal quantum number, e.g., n = 3 indicates the third principal shell, n = 4 indicates the fourth principal shell, and so on.
