<u>Answer:</u> It determines the mass number of the atom.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nucleons are the subatomic particles that are present in nucleus of an atom. The particles which are present in the nucleus of an atom are protons and neutrons.

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons. It is represented as A.

A = Number of neutrons + Number of protons

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an atom. It is represented as Z.

Z = Number of protons = Number of electrons

From the above information, we conclude that the number of nucleons determines the mass number of an atom.

The number of neutrons in an atom is the number of particles present in its nucleus.
The atomic number is the number of protons whereas the mass number is the number of protons and number of neutrons together
This implies that the number of neutrons is the atom's mass number

Lists how many valence electrons are shared, gained, or lost by each atom of the 6 compounds?      
Blababa [14]
<span>The number of electrons in an atom's outermost valence shell governs its bonding behavior.

In N</span>₂, three electrons are being shared by each nitrogen atom, making a total of 6 shared electrons.

In CCl₄, 4 electrons are being shared by each carbon atom and 1 electron is being shared by each chlorine atom

In SiO₂, 4 electrons are being shared by each silicon atom and 2 electrons are being shared by each oxygen atom.

In AlCl₃, 3 electrons are being shared by each aluminum atom and 1 electron is being shared by each Cl atom

In CaCl₂, 2 electrons are lost by the calcium atom and 1 electron is gained by each chlorine atom

In LiBr, 1 electron is lost by the lithium atom and 1 electron is gained by the bromine atom

During the recharge of the lead storage battery, the chemical reaction that occurs is A.)nonspontaneous.
Paha777 [63]
The chemical reaction that occurs is spontaneous. By the time the battery will recharge the cycle lead sulfate (sulfation) starts to reconvert into sulfuric acid and also with lead. Also, during the reviving procedure as power courses through the water part of the electrolyte and water, (H2O) is changed over into its unique components, hydrogen, and oxygen.

If a compound contains a poly atomic ion then what type of compound is it A. Convalent Compound B. Ionic Compound
den301095 [7]

Answer:

B. Ionic Compound

Explanation:

An ionic compound is that compound which contains a positively charged ion called CATION and a negatively charged ion called ANION. The cation loses or transfers electrons to the anion, hence, making the former (cation) positive and the latter (anion) negative.

A polyatomic ion is an ion that contains more than one type of atom e.g OH-, NO3²-, CO3²- etc. A polyatomic ion usually has an overall charge formed from the charges of the individual atoms that makes it up. For example, in OH-, the overall charge is -1.

Since a polyatomic ion can have an overall positive or negative charge, it must enter a reaction with another ion that complements it i.e. a negative polyatomic ion will react with a positive ion to neutralize its charge. Hence, this forms an IONIC COMPOUND. This is why most compounds with polyatomic ions are IONIC COMPOUNDS.

For example, CaCO3 is an ionic compound formed when Ca²+ (cation) reacts with the polyatomic anion: CO3²-

Energy can be changed from potential to kinetic.<br> A.True<br> B.False
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

An object has potential energy (stored energy) when it is not in motion. Once a force has been applied or it begins to move the potential energy changes to kinetic energy (energy of motion).

Therefore, true. (Also would u mind giving brainliest, you don't have to hehe)

A hot air balloon is filled to 1250 m3 at 27 C. At what temperature will the balloon be filled to 1600 m3 if the pressure remain
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

384.2 K

Explanation:

First we convert 27 °C to K:

  • 27 °C + 273.16 = 300.16 K

With the absolute temperature we can use <em>Charles' law </em>to solve this problem. This law states that at constant pressure:

  • T₁V₂=T₂V₁

Where in this case:

  • T₁ = 300.16 K
  • V₂ = 1600 m³
  • T₂ = ?
  • V₁ = 1250 m³

We input the data:

300.16 K * 1600 m³ = T₂ * 1250 m³

And solve for T₂:

T₂ = 384.2 K
