R
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

C.) 35

Explanation:

The mass is made up of the total protons and neutrons in an atom. Protons and neutrons both have a mass of 1 amu. Electrons are not included in this measurement because they have an insignificant mass (practically 0).

(17 protons x 1 amu) + (18 neutrons x 1 amu) = 35 amu

Therefore, if an atom contains 17 protons and 18 neutrons, the mass should be 35 amu.

Two categories of compounds are
crimeas [40]

Answer is: (3) ionic and molecular.

Ionic compounds are made of ions held together with ionic bonds.

Ionic bond forms when a cation transfers its extra electron to an anion who needs it.  

For example compound magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) has ionic bond (the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions).  

Magnesium (metal) transfers two electrons (became positive cation) to chlorine (became negative anion).  

Molecular compounds are made up of molecules whose atoms are connected with covalent bonds.

Covalent bond is bond between nonmetals.  

For example, molecule carbon monoxide CO has covalent bond.

Carbon (C) and oxygen (O) are nonmetals.  

Carbon atom and oxygen atom are connected by a triple bond (six shared electrons in three bonding molecular orbitals) that is formed of two covalent bonds and one dative covalent bond.

Which process is endothermic?a)b)c)d)The evaporation of water from the skin.The burning of candle wax.The oxidation of iron in a
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The answer is option a. The evaporation of water from the skin

Explanation:

An endothermic reaction is any synthetic reaction that retains heat from its environment. The ingested energy gives the enactment energy to the reaction to happen.

No new bonds formed, no bonds broken in this example. water molecules go from liquid to vapour (gas ), intermolecular bond exist between polar (-OH) molecules and energy is required to break these bonds during the change from liquid to gas. So, it is endothermic .

Remaining three above examples are exothermic. combustion of gas releases energy(exothermic). burninig of the candle exothermic because the energy released from the oxygen into carbon dioxide and water.oxidation of iron also exothermic
