The mass number plays an important role for elements and their isotopes. Mass number comes from the addition of protons and neutrons (their weight). Isotopes are the elements, but with a different number of neutrons. So in turn, by subtracting the number of protons (atomic number) from the mass, you can find the number of neutrons.
This is an example of displacement reaction
<u>Explanation:</u>
- The chemical reaction in which the one element replaces the other element in a compound is called a displacement reaction. This reaction is also called a replacement reaction.
AB + C -----> AC +B
2ZnS + 3O2 -----> 2ZnO + 2SO2
- This happens when A is more reactive than B and gives a stable product. Here the zinc sulfide compound reacts with the oxygen element to the stable product of zinc oxide and sulfur dioxide.
- In short, the more reactive element displaces the less reactive element is called a displacement reaction.
It's a physical property because it doesn't change the element of the metal.
does this make sense?
Explanation:
Scandium has atomic number of 21. This means that in it's neutral state its going to have 21 electrons.
a) The full electronic configuration is given as;
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d1 4s2
The final electron is placed in the d orbital. The shell is 3d
(b) When scandium has a charge if +1, it has lost an electron. The total number of electrons would now be 21-1 = 20
The electronic configuration would be given as;
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2
The electron in the 3d orbital would be removed.
Answer:
c.
Explanation:
If the object starts to slide it must be on a slope.
There are 2 forces acting on the object - gravity and the friction between the object and the surface.
If sliding starts then the forces must be unbalanced.
The force of gravity is greater than the friction.
