If we have a neutral atom, then it has the same number protons and neutrons.

The number protons and neutrons for neutral atom shows atomic number.

"A neutral atom has an atomic number of 20" means that atom has 20 protons (that give charge "+ 20" ) and 20 electrons (that give charge "-20").

Answer is 20 electrons.

Answer:

The atom with 20 atomic number has 20 electrons.

Explanation:

Atomic number of an atom,Z = 20

Mass number of an atom ,A = 42

Z = Atomic number = Number of proton = Number of electron (neutral atom)

Z = 20

The atom with 20 atomic number has 20 protons.

The atom with 20 atomic number has 20 electrons.

Number of neutrons = A - Z = 42 - 20 = 22

The atom with 20 atomic number has 22 neutrons.

Why is there an energy crisis if energy is supposedly conserved? Explain your answer and cite one example
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but it does change its form. And not all forms of energy are usable and it gets dissipated as heat energy and sound energy. The energy that is wasted cannot be recovered.

Select the correct answer. What is the enthalpy for the reaction represented in the following energy diagram? A. +200 kJ B. +350
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Option C. +150KJ

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Heat of reactant (Hr) = 200KJ

Heat of product (Hp) = 350KJ

Change in enthalphy (ΔH) =..?

The enthalphy of the reaction can be obtained as follow:

Change in enthalphy (ΔH) = Heat of reactant (Hp) – Heat of reactant (Hr)

ΔH = Hp – Hr

ΔH = 350 – 200

ΔH = +150KJ

Therefore, the enthalphy for the reaction above is +150KJ

Which hybrid orbitals overlap to form the sigma bonds between the indicated atoms in xanthine?
amid [387]

Answer:

C.) Csp² - Nsp³

Explanation:

Because the carbon has only 3 unique bonds, the conformation of the carbon should be Csp² (s + p + p). While the nitrogen also has only 3 bonds, making up 3 orbitals, it also has a lone pair of electrons. These electrons also take up one orbital. Therefore, the conformation of nitrogen is Nsp³ (s + p + p + p).
