How many of each subatomic particle type does each of the following atoms contain: a. 90_Ag b. barium-132

1 answer:

7 0

Answer: Silver has 47 electrons, 47 protons and 43 neutrons. Barium has 56 electrons, 56 protons and 76 neutrons.

Explanation:

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

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

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

For Silver:

Atomic number = 47

Mass number = 90

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 47

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number = 90 - 47 = 43

Hence, silver has 47 electrons, 47 protons and 43 neutrons.

For Barium:

Atomic number = 56

Mass number = 132

Atomic number = Number of protons = Number of electrons = 56

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number = 132 - 56 = 76

Hence, barium has 56 electrons, 56 protons and 76 neutrons.

What is the maximum amount of kcl that can dissolve in 200g of water?

Likurg_2 [28]

The solubility of potassium chloride in at room temperature is approximately 34 g per 100 g of water. Therefore, the maximum amount that could be dissolved would be 34/100 ( 200) = 68 g of KCl. When more than this amount is added, excess potassium would not dissolve forming crystals in the solution.

the average speeds of gas molecules in.cylinders A,b,c,d are 0.01 m/s, 0.005m/s ,0.1 m/s and 0.5 m/s, respectively .which cylind

Darya [45]

The average speed of the gas is related to the kinetic energy of the gas. The kinetic energy of the gas is also related to the temperature of the gas. If the average speed of the gas is closer to zero, it means that it has very low motion or kinetic energy. This can be inferred that the gas has a very low temperature. At absolute zero, the motion of all the gas molecules stops. This means that the kinetic energy of the gas is also zero. Zero kinetic energy means zero average speed. So, the answer is cylinder B. The average speed of the gas in cylinder B is closest to zero.

Give the name and formula of the compound formed from the following elements: (a) sodium and nitrogen; (b) oxygen and strontium;

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

For a: The chemical name and chemical formula formed is sodium nitride and $Na_3N$

For b: The chemical name and chemical formula formed is strontium oxide and $SrO$

For c: The chemical name and chemical formula formed is aluminium chloride and $AlCl_3$

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

For a: Sodium and nitrogen:

Sodium is the 11th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^1$

To form $Na^{+}$ ion, this element will loose 1 electron.

Nitrogen is the 7th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^3$ .

To form $N^{3-}$ ion, this element will gain 3 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for sodium nitride is $Na_3N$

For b: Oxygen and strontium

Strontium is the 38th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Kr]5s^2$ .

To form $Sr^{2+}$ ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Oxygen is the 8th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^4$ .

To form $O^{2-}$ ion, this element will gain 2 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for strontium oxide is $SrO$

For c: Aluminium and chlorine

Aluminium is the 13th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^23p^1$

To form $Al^{3+}$ ion, this element will loose 3 electrons.

Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^23p^5$

To form $Cl^{-}$ ion, this element will gain 1 electron.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for aluminium chloride is $AlCl_3$
