If an atom has an atomic number of 6 and and abdomens mass of 12 how many electrons does it have

Chemistry

Basile [38]3 years ago
5 0
Atomic number refers to the proton number of the atom itself. Number of electrons in an atom (an atom that is not reacted with any other molecules / Just the atom alone), is the same as the number of protons, because each electron has 1 negative charge, and each proton 1 positive charge, where they cancel out on each other to become a neutral charge.

So, when atomic number is 6, proton number is also 6, and number of electrons will also be 6 in that atom.

Hope this helps! :)

A state property X has a value 89.6 units. It undergoes the following changes, first increase by
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

B) -4.1 units

Explanation:

According to this question, a state property X has a value 89.6 units. It undergoes the certain changes as follows:

- first increase by 3.6 units

- then increase by another 18.7 units

- then decrease by 12.2 units

- and finally attains a value of 85.5 units

This can be mathematically represented by 89.6 - {3.6 + 18.7 - 12.2 - x) = 85.5

To get x, we say;

89.6 + 3.6 = 93.2

93.2 + 18.7 = 111.9

111.9 - 12.2 = 99.7

99.7 - 85.5 = 14.2units.

The changes that occured is represented as follows:

= (3.6 + 18.7) - (12.2 + 14.2)

= 22.3 - 26.4

= -4.1 units

What would indicate that a physical change takes place when copper is drawn into wire?
Lina20 [59]

Any change in which the composition of material does not change that is it retains its identity but changes its state or form is known as a physical change.

The properties of metal to draw them into wires is known as ductility.  When a copper is drawn into wire the only change that occurs is change in its shape and size no change will take place into its composition that is the wires are still possessing the properties of copper metal. Thus, a physical change takes place when copper is drawn into wire.

Choose the appropriate electron configuration for an element whose third shell contains six electrons.​
slamgirl [31]

For an element whose third shell contains six electrons, the appropriate electron configuration is; 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4.

The electron configuration shows the distribution of electrons in the shells of an atom and in orbitals.

We have been told that the six electrons are found in the third shell. This shell has n=3 and the configuration of this shell must ns2 np4.

The only electron configuration that meets this standard is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4.
