<span>I bet this is the notation used in nuclear reactions. The superscript represents the mass number while the subscript represents the atomic number of the element X. So, we find the element with an atomic number of 12. That would be Magnesium or Mg.</span>

<em>Element X is an element of Mg which is located in group 2A and period 3</em>

<em>with 12 = atomic number and 25 = mass number</em>

\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Further~explanation}}}

The Atomic Number (Z) indicates the number of protons in an atom of an element. If the atom is neutral then the number of protons will be equal to the number of electrons. So the atomic number can also indicate the number of electrons.

So atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass Number (A) is the sum of protons and neutrons

Mass Number (A) = Number of protons + Number of Neutrons

So that the relationship between atomic numbers and mass numbers can be formulated as follows:

Atomic Number (Z) = Mass Number (A) - Number of Neutrons

In the following element notation,

\large{{{A}\atop{Z}}\right X}

Information

X = symbol of elemental atom

A = mass number

  = number of protons + number of neutrons

Z = atomic number

  = number of protons = number of electrons, on neutral elements

In an atom, there are levels of energy in the skin and sub skin.

This energy level is expressed in the form of electron configurations.

Charging electrons in the sub skin uses the following sequence:

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 5s², 4d¹⁰, 5p⁶, 6s², etc.

The location of the element group in the periodic system is determined by the number of valence electrons that fill the last sub-skin

The element period is determined from the valence shell (the largest main quantum number (n))

The chemical element group is divided into two, namely:

Group A, occupies sub skins s and p

Group B, occupies sub skin d

In the most probable question, the notation is meant

\large{{{25}\atop{12}}\right X}

So that shows:

12 = atomic number

25 = mass number

To determine the X element, we must know where the element is in the modern periodic system

Determining the location of the group and its period is sought by writing down the electron configuration

Because atomic number = 12, the number of electrons is also = 12, so the electron configuration is:

1s² 2s² sp⁶ 3s²

The last valence electron is in the 3s² orbitals so that:

Period: main quantum number (n) = 3

Group: because it ends at s orbitals with 2 electrons, the group is 2A (electrons occupying s and p orbitals are group A)

So element X is located in period 3 and group 3A. Elements that fulfill these 2 conditions are: Mg

Mole ratios how can the coefficients in a chemical equation be interpreted
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

The coefficient in a balanced chemical equation  indicates the mole ratio of both reactants and products.  

Explanation:

For example lets consider the reation between Hydrogen and Oxygen to form water:

2H2 + O2 ----------------------- 2H2O

In this reaction, the coefficients of the balanced reaction can be transformed to Mole ratio according to Avogadro's Law which states that at standard temperature and pressure, equal volume of gases contain the same  number of moles.

So the mole ratio for the above equation is  the  ratio of the coefficient:

2moles     :     1 mole               :          2 moles

Sheena has a lump of sodium, a lump of potassium and a lump of lithium, but they’ve got mixed up and she doesn’t know which one
Arada [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Just saw your request regarding answering this so here it is:

All of them belong of Group 1 in periodic table and thus are highly reactive! Pattern of reactivity for Group 1 (Alkali metals) increases as you move down the group as their radius keeps increasing and thus electrons can be easily lost. Thus, to ID the lumps, Sheena should look at their reactivity and she should get the following trend:

Most reactive: Potassium (K)

Intermediate: Sodium (Na)

Least reactive: Lithium (Li)

Hope it helps!
