Answer: The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom of an element. In our example, krypton's atomic number is 36. This tells us that an atom of krypton has 36 protons in its nucleus.
Explanation:
Answer:
C.) No. of electrons
Explanation:
A.) is incorrect. The atomic number represents the number of protons in an element. Nitrogen (N) and sodium (Na) always have a differing amount of protons.
B.) is incorrect. The mass number represents the number of protons and neutrons in an element. The number of neutrons and protons are specific to each element (disregarding isotopes). When elements ionize, these amounts are not altered.
C.) is correct. When an element becomes an ion, the number of electrons change. When nitrogen gains 3 electrons and sodium loses 1 electron, they end up having the same number of electrons (10).
D.) is incorrect. When elements ionize, the number of neutrons does not change. The only way two different elements could have the same number of neutrons is if at least one of the elements is an isotope. Isotopes are two or more atoms of the same element that differ in their amounts of neutrons.
1. 2Al(s)+6HCl(aq)⇒2AlCl₃(aq)+3H₂(g)
2. 2AgNO₃ (aq) + Cu (s)⇒Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq) + 2Ag (s)
3. 2C₃H₈O(l) + 9O₂(g) ⇒ 6CO₂(g) + 8H₂O(g)
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
There are several reactions that can occur in a chemical reaction: single replacement, double replacement, synthesis, decomposition or combustion, etc.
1.Al(s)+HCl(aq)⇒AlCl₃(aq)+H₂(g)
type : single replacement
balance :
2Al(s)+6HCl(aq)⇒2AlCl₃(aq)+3H₂(g)
2. AgNO₃ (aq) + Cu (s) ⇒ Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Ag (s)
type : single replacement
balance :
2AgNO₃ (aq) + Cu (s)⇒Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq) + 2Ag (s)
3. C₃H₈O + O₂ ⇒ CO₂ + H₂O
type : combustion of alcohol
balance :
2C₃H₈O(l) + 9O₂(g) ⇒ 6CO₂(g) + 8H₂O(g)
