Answer:

In a metal, individual atoms lose electrons to become positive "ions."

Explanation:

The electrically charged particles are called as the ions. When the atoms lose or can gain electrons these charged particles are formed. When the atoms start losing electron so as to become positive ion are the metals, and the negative ions are formed by the non-metals. A force called electrostatic force acts between the oppositely charged ions which is known as the ionic bond. The metals not exactly lose electrons quickly to become stable, in case of the ionic bond formation they lose electrons.

How many Ne atoms are contained in 32.0 g of the element?
Svetlanka [38]
Mass atomic of Ne=20.18 u
Therefore:
molar mass=20.18 g/1 mol

1 mole=6.022*10²³ particles (atoms or molecules)

Then: 6.022*10²³ atoms are contained in 20.18g

Now, We can solve this problem by the three rule.

6.022*10²³ atoms-------------------20.18 g
x------------------------------------------32 g

x=(6.022*10²³ atoms * 32 g)/20.18 g=9.55*10²³ atoms.

Answer: 9.55*10²³ Ne atoms are contained in 32 g of the element.
