"windweathered" because the use of wind weathering would bring the sand all around and it would be wind weathered
One mole of a substance contains 6.02 × 10∧23 particles. Thus we first convert 89.2 g to moles. 1 mole of sodium contains 23 g
Hence 89.2 g = 89.2 / 23 g = 3.878 moles
Therefore, 3.878 × 6.02×10∧23 particles= 23.346 × 10∧23 particles
Hence 89.2 g of sodium contains 2.335 ×10∧24 particles
There are some standard numbers that help us describe the structure of an atom and help us categorize them. Those are the atomic number, the mass number and the numbers of electrons in an atom (or ion). Atoms are electrically neutral, hence they have the same number of protons as electrons. If an atom has a charge and has thus become an ion, it is because electrons joined it or left. For example in this case, since the ion has +2 charge, 2 electrons left it and thus the ion has 4 electrons (2 electrons less than its protons). The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons of an atom (that are in the nucleus). In this case, this yields a mass number of 13 for this ion. The atomic number of an atom (or ion) is the total number of protons in the nucleus. Protons do not leave the nucleus except for radioactive reactions and thus the atomic number of an atom (or ion) does not change in chemical reactions. In this case, the ion has an atomic number of 6.
