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! :)

The four fundamental forces are arranged in the increasing order of their relative strength.
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is - both act only between non-atomic particles.

Explanation:

The decreasing order of their relative strength is - the strong force, electromagnetism, weak force, gravity.

so, A would be here = gravity

B would be  = weak force

C  would be = strong force

The weak and strong forces both are fundamental forces that act on sub-atomic particles only such as quarks.

Give the formulas of the compounds in each set (a) lead(l|) oxide and lead(lV) oxide; (b) lithium nitride, lithium nitrite, and
Ivanshal [37]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The formula of lead (II) oxide and lead (IV) oxide is PbO\text{ and }PbO_2 respectively.

<u>For b:</u> The formula of lithium nitride, lithium nitrite and lithium nitrate is Li_3N,LiNO_2\text{ and }LiNO_3 respectively.

<u>For c:</u> The formula of Strontium hydride and strontium hydroxide is SrH_2\text{ and }Sr(OH)_2 respectively.

<u>For d:</u> The formula of magnesium oxide and manganese (II) oxide is MgO\text{ and }MnO respectively.

<u>Explanation:</u>

All the given compounds are ionic compounds. This means that between the atoms complete sharing of electrons takes place.

  • <u>For a:</u>

Lead is the 82th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [Xe]4f^{14}5d^{10}6s^26p^2.

To form Pb^{2+} ion, this element will loose 2 electrons and to form Pb^{4+} ion, this element will loose 4 electrons.

Oxygen is the 8th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [He]2s^22p^4.

To form O^{2-} ion, this element will gain 2 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for lead (II) oxide is PbO and for lead (IV) oxide is PbO_2

Thus, the formula of lead (II) oxide and lead (IV) oxide is PbO\text{ and }PbO_2 respectively.

  • <u>For b:</u>

Lithium is the 3rd element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [He]2s^1.

To form Li^{+} ion, this element will loose 1 electron.

Nitrogen is the 7th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [He]2s^22p^3.

To form N^{3-} ion, this element will gain 3 electrons.

Nitrite ion is a polyatomic ion having chemical formula of NO_2^{-}

Nitrate ion is a polyatomic ion having chemical formula of NO_3^{-}

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for lithium nitride is Li_3N, for lithium nitrite is LiNO_2 and for lithium nitrate is LiNO_3

Thus, the formula of lithium nitride, lithium nitrite and lithium nitrate is Li_3N,LiNO_2\text{ and }LiNO_3 respectively.

  • <u>For c:</u>

Strontium is the 38th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [Kr]5s^2.

To form Sr^{2+} ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Hydrogen is the 1st element of periodic table having electronic configuration of 1s^1.

To form H^{-} ion, this element will gain 1 electron and is named as hydride ion.

Hydroxide ion is a polyatomic ion having chemical formula of OH^{-}

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for strontium hydride is SrH_2 and for strontium hydroxide is Sr(OH)_2

Thus, the formula of Strontium hydride and strontium hydroxide is SrH_2\text{ and }Sr(OH)_2 respectively.

  • <u>For d:</u>

Magnesium is the 12th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ne]3s^2.

To form Mg^{2+} ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Manganese is the 25th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ar]3d^54s^2

To form Mn^{2+} ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Oxygen is the 8th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [He]2s^22p^4.

To form O^{2-} ion, this element will gain 2 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for magnesium oxide is MgO and for manganese (II) oxide is MnO.

Thus, the formula of magnesium oxide and manganese (II) oxide is MgO\text{ and }MnO respectively.

The empirical formula of a compound is found to be P2O5. Experiments show that the molar mass of the compound is 426g/mol. What
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Molecular formula = P₄O₁₀

Explanation:

Given data:

Empirical formula of compound = P₂O₅

Molar mass of compound = 426 g/mol

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Molecular formula:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass=  P₂O₅  = 283.89 g/mol

n = 426 g/mol / 283.89 g/mol

n = 2

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 2 (P₂O₅ )

Molecular formula = P₄O₁₀
