The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. The number of protons define the identity of an element (i.e., an element with 6 protons is a carbon atom, no matter how many neutrons may be present).
Answer:
The structures are attached in file.
Hydrogen bonding and intermolecular forces is the reason for ranks allotted.
Explanation:
In determining Lewis structure, we calculate the overall number of valence electrons available for bonding. Making carbon (the least electronegative atom) the central atom in the structure, we allocate valence electrons until each atom has achieved stability.
In order of decreasing affinity to water molecules:
This is due to the fact that the 
will accept protons more readily than the bicarbonate ion, 
. Carbonic acid, 
will not accept any more protons, hence it is the least attractive to water molecule, even though soluble.
Answer:
Explanation:
SODIUM ATOM;
SODIUM ATOM IS NEUTRAL
SODIUM ION;
IT IS A CHARGED SPECIE WITH A CHARGE OF +1
SODIUM ATOM:
THE NUMBER OF PROTONS AND ELECTRONS ARE SAME ie:11
SODIUM ION:
NUMBER OF PROTONS AND ELECTRONS ARE NOT SAME ie. ELETRON: 10, PROTONS:11

Answer:
D.) Mg(NO₃)₂
Explanation:
Since magnesium (Mg) is a metal and nitrate (NO₃) is a polyatomic anion, they would combine to form an ionic compound. Magnesium would form the cation Mg²⁺ because it generally has 2 valence electrons. Nitrate always has a -1 charge.
In order for the overall compound to be neutral (have a charge of 0), there must be one Mg²⁺ and two NO₃⁻ ions in the compound (+2 + (-1) + (-1) = 0).
Therefore, the formula for the compound formed is Mg(NO₃)₂.
