Answer:
use coefficients and subscripts to determine how many atoms are in a compound. If there is no subscript or coefficient, assume it is 1. If there is a coefficient, multiply it with the subscripts. For counting cations and anions, determine first which is the anion and cation (anion = nonmetal, cation = metal), then count the number of that ion.
Example:
NaCl
one atom of Na, one atom of Cl. Since Na is a metal, it is a cation. Cl is a nonmetal, so it is an anion.
2CaCl2
2 atoms of Ca, 4 atoms of Cl. There are 2 cations, since Na is a metal, and 4 anions since Cl is a nonmetal
Answer:
A) The mass would be the same.
Explanation:
Since there is no loss of any particle to vapor during the phase change process from solid to liquid, the mass of the before and after the process will remain the same.
- In this way, the law of conservation of mass is obeyed.
- Mass is the amount of matter contained in a substance.
- Since there is no room for escape or matter loss, the mass will remain the same.
As the number of electrons added to the same principal energy level increases, atomic size generally
C. Decreases.
