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.

For the reaction below , label each reactant as an electron pair acceptor or electron pair donor and as a Lewis acid or a Lewis
JulsSmile [24]

Since the reaction shown in the question is an acid - base reaction in the Lewis sense; the Lewis acid here is AlCl3  while the Lewis base here is Cl^- .

<h3>What is  a Lewis acid?</h3>

A Lewis acid is a substance that accepts electron pair while a Lewis base donates an electron pair.

Now consider the given reaction; AlCl3 +Cl^- ------> AlCl 4 ^-. The Lewis acid here is AlCl3  while the Lewis base here is Cl^- .

Predict the shape of the molecule.
GuDViN [60]

Number of electron pairs = \frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]

2

1

[V+N−C+A]

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

SbCl_5SbCl

5

:

In the given molecule, antimony is the central atom and there are five chlorine as monovalent atoms.

The number of electron pairs are 5 that means the hybridization will be sp^3dsp

3

B and geometry of the molecule will be trigonal bipyramidal.

Define Acid dissociation constant constant
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

An acid dissociation constant, K a, (also known as acidity constant, or acid-ionization constant) is a quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution. It is the equilibrium constant for a chemical reaction ↽ − − ⇀ − + + known as dissociation in the context of acid–base reactions.
