<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

What is the boiling point of a solution containing 203 g of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) and 1035 g of water? (Kb for water is 0.52
Andru [333]

Answer:

101,37°C

Explanation:

Boiling point elevation is one of the colligative properties of matter. The formula is:

ΔT = kb×m <em>(1)</em>

Where:

ΔT is change in boiling point: (X-100°C) -X is the boiling point of the solution-

kb is ebulloscopic constant (0,52°C/m)

And m is molality of solution (mol of ethylene glycol / kg of solution). Moles of ethylene glycol (MW: 62,07g/mol):

203g × (1mol /62,07g) = <em>3,27moles of ethlyene glycol</em>

<em />

Molality is: 3,27moles of ethlyene glycol / (1,035kg + 0,203kg) = 2,64m

Replacing these values in (1):

X - 100°C = 0,52°C/m×2,64m

X - 100°C = 1,37°C

<em>X = 101,37°C</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

Answer:

It conducts electricity

It conducts heat

Water is needed for rusting

Explanation:

Metals refer to elements that are found towards the left hand side of the periodic table of elements. They are found in groups 1- 13 and few of them are also found at the bottom of groups 14 and 15.

Now these metal have certain properties that are general to all of them. two of these properties listed among the options in the question are;

i) They conduct electricity

ii) They conduct heat

These properties apply to all metals universally.

Rusting is an electrochemical reaction in which hydrated iron III oxide is formed. In the electrochemical reaction, water in intimately involved in the process. Hence; oxygen and water are required for rusting to take place.

Which is the correct Lewis dot structure for BeH2 ?
kherson [118]
H• •Be• •H --> H:Be:H
Since there are 4 valence electrons in total, Beryllium has 2 and Hydrogen has 2. You would put the Be in the middle because there is only 1 of them.
