<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

telo118 [61]

Answer: Increasing the concentration of a reactant or decreasing the concentration of the product.

Explanation: For the equilibrium of the reaction to shift to the left, we must decrease the concentration of a reactant or increase the concentration of the product. This is based on Le Chatelier's principle which describes the effect on the equilibrium of changes in concentration or pressure of a product or a reactant. Adding more products in a system would disturb the equilibrium thus it would cause to reestablish it by shifting the reaction to the left producing the reactants. This would also be the same when you decrease the number of reactants in the system.

Which of the following is the correct formula for Ca2+ reacting with NO2??
mariarad [96]

Answer:

B. Ca(NO2)2

Explanation:

Ions (charged atoms) combine with one another to form stable ionic compounds. In this case, calicium ion (Ca2+) is said to react with NO2, which has a charge of -1 i.e. +1-1(2) = 1-2 = -1.

This means that calcium has a charge of +2 while nitrite ion has charge of -1, hence, when they combine, they exchange their charges, which become their subscript as follows:

Ca2+ + NO2- → Ca(NO2)2

Ca(NO2)2 is a stable ionic compound called calcium nitrite. Notice that it takes two atoms of NO2- to react with one atom of Ca2+.
