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

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! :)

Why does one Oxygen atom bond with two Hydrogen atoms to form water? Why don't they bond in a different ratio?
Vladimir79 [104]

This is because oxygen (2.8.6) requires two electrons on its valence shell to attain stable configuration (2.8.8). Hydrogen (1) on the other hand requires one electron on its valence shell to attain stable configuration (2). Therefore in a covalent bond, it requires two hydrogen and one oxygen to share electrons and achieve stable configuration.

Determine the heat energy needed to raise the temperature of 120 grams of ice at -5 to steam at 115°
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Q = 30355.2 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of ice = 120 g

Initial temperature = -5°C

Final temperature = 115°C

Energy required = ?

Solution:

Specific heat capacity of ice is = 2.108 j/g.°C

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

Q = m.c. ΔT

ΔT = T2 -T1

ΔT = 115 - (-5°C)

ΔT = 120 °C

Q = 120 g × 2.108 j/g.°C × 120 °C

Q = 30355.2 J

Is there DNA in the stucture of prokryotic
azamat

Answer:

i hope this helped

They have no true nucleus as the DNA is not contained within a membrane or separated from the rest of the cell, but is coiled up in a region of the cytoplasm called the nucleoid. Prokaryotic organisms have varying cell shapes.
