A) Z + 4

In the actual atom, half of the nucleus would be protons and the other half neutrons, hence the 2z. The additional four in the expression must be neutrons because adding protons would change the element all together.

Answer:

A) Z+4

Explanation:

Atomic number of the isotope = Z

Mass number of the isotope = 2Z+4.

Atomic number = Number of protons in the atom = Number of electrons in the atom

Mass number = Number of protons in the atom + Number of neutrons in the atom

Hence number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons

= 2Z + 4 - Z = Z + 4

Hence the required answer to the question is represented by option A which is Z + 4.

Atoms have a tendency to complete their outer energy level. This is known as _____.
Alina [70]

Answer : Option C) The Octet Rule

Explanation : Atoms have a tendency to complete their outer energy level. This is known as Octet Rule.

The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb which reflects the observation, that atoms of main-group elements tends to combine in such a way that each atom gets eight electrons in its valence shell, which gives it the same electron configuration as that of a noble gas.

In short, the tendency of an atom to fill its valence shell and attain a stable state it acquires or donates the electron is called as octet rule.

Valence electrons<br> Fill in the blanks
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Valence electrons or outer electrons are most important as they participate in bonding. The octet rule states that atoms gain, lose, or share valence electrons to have filled energy levels.. this gives atoms a stable configuration like that of the nearest noble gas.

What is the formal charge of nitrogen in no2cl
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The formal charge on nitrogen in NO_{2}Cl is +1.

Explanation:

The structure of NO_{2}Cl is as follows.

(In attachment)

Formal\, charge = Valence\, electron - (nonbonding\, electrons + \frac{Bonding\,electrons}{2})

From the structure, Nitrogen has no non bonding electrons. Nitrogen has four bonds and each bond corresponds to 2 electrons. Hence, nitrogen have eight bonding electrons and five valence electrons.

Formal\,charge\,on\,nitrogen = 5-[0+ \frac{8}{2}]= +1

Therefore, The formal charge on nitrogen in NO_{2}Cl is +1.
