The subatomic particles that identifies an element and also represents its atomic number would be A. The number of protons.

Answer:  a. the number of protons

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an electrically neutral atom.

Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

In an atom, when electrons are lost, the atom gains a positive charge and forms cation. In an atom, when electrons are gained, the atom occupies a negative charge and forms anion.

Hence, neutrons and protons affects the mass number and electrons affects the charge on an atom. The atomic number of an element is determined by the number of protons.

You are given a piece of paper and a match. The paper has a mass of 2.5 g. You then light the match and light the piece of paper
kow [346]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

<em>No. </em>T<em>he demonstration does not violate the conservation of mass.</em>

<u>The law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a reaction. However, mass can be converted from one form to another during the reaction.</u>

In this case, even though the remaining bits of paper weigh 0.5 g while the original paper weighed 2.5 g, the ashes and smoke/gas from the burning will all add up to the lost weight of the paper.

<em>The burned part has been converted into other forms. If the smoke/gas and the ashes are properly captured, they will mark up with the weight of the remaining paper to give the weight of the original paper. </em>

describe how knowledge of the periodic table would be important in three different careers, based on what you’ve read.
ANEK [815]

The knowledge of periodic table would be important in these three different careers such as medicine, pharmacology and engineering.

<h3>What is the importance of periodic table in following careers?</h3>

Periodic table is organised the whole elements vertically in groups and horizontally in periods with increasing atomic number.

The knowledge of arrangement of these elements serves alot of purposes in the following three different careers:

  • Medicine: The element, iron is an important metal in the periodic table used in treatment of low blood levels.

  • Pharmacology: The transition metals are useful in the field of pharmacology for the production of drugs. Example of such elements are chromium, manganese, cobalt, nickel, copper, and molybdenum.

  • Engineering: The information of elements in the periodic table helps engineers in designing of materials used for constructions.

Therefore, the knowledge of periodic table is very important in these three different careers such as medicine, pharmacology and engineering.

What type of compound is fe3n2
Shkiper50 [21]

Fe3N2, also known as Iron (II) nitride, is an ionic compound.


Ionic compounds are compounds that consists of metals and non-metals bonded with ionic bonds. The metal ion gives up electron(s) to the non-metals.


Since iron is a metal and nitrogen is an non-metal, the bond they would form would be an ionic bond. Iron gives up 2 electrons to form iron(II) ion, while nitrogen gains 3 electrons to form nitride ion. Since one iron cannot let a nitrogen gain 3 electrons, so in the compound, there would be 3 iron (ii) ions that has given up 6 electrons in total while 2 nitride ions have gained 6 electrons in total.
