Molecules are made of atoms.

Answer:

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

An atom is <u>the smallest part</u> of an element that maintains the identity of that element.

A molecule is the smallest part of a compund that maintains the identity of that compound. So examples of a molecule are diatomic elements like O_{2} , N_{2}

A Bonus Tip: I dont want to confuse you but something I learn that benifited me is to know that molecules are not compounds. For a substance to be considered a compound it has to be more than one atom. In the past, I would confuse molecules as compounds because it would be O_{2} but its still the same atom so its a molecule not a compound!

How many neutrons and protons does a neutral atom of sodium with an atomic mass number of 23 have? A. 22 neutrons; 11 protons B.
atroni [7]
In order to find out how many protons a sodium atom has, you have to look at the periodic table. Sodium is Na on the periodic table and you look for the number on the top of the symbol and you can see that it has 11 protons. To find out how many neutrons, you have to subtract 11 from the mass number, which is 23. 23-11 = 12.

12 neutrons; 11 protons

If you accidentally lost some sand when you decanted tyhe NaCl, how would the % salt calculation be affected?
skad [1K]

Answer:

Unchanged.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the experiment you performed, as you previously removed the sodium chloride, its % salt calculation will not be affected by the lost of the sand. It is important to remember that such experiments must be performed carefully as the committed error is a high-impact factor regarding to the experiment's performance. It is important for you to remember that to separate the sodium chloride, it earlier dissolution in water allowed to be dissolved leveraging the insolubility of sand in water, thus, it was decanted easily.

Best regards.
