The mass number is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. Since there are 16 neutrons, there are 14 protons. This also corresponds to the atomic number, so this atom's atomic number is 14 which is also Silicon

<u>Answer:</u> The atomic number of an atom is 14.

<u>Explanation:</u>

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

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 16

Mass number = 30

Number of protons = Atomic number = Mass number - Number of neutrons = 30 - 16 = 14

Hence, the atomic number of an atom is 14.

Which of the following elements has the strongest ionization energy: Mg or Cl? Define ionization
Mila [183]

Answer:

Cl

Explanation:

The element Cl will have the strongest ionization energy from the given choices. Most non-metals have higher ionization energy compared to metals.

Ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely held electron from the gaseous phase of an atom.

  • As you go from left to right on the periodic table, it increases progressive
  • From top to bottom, the ionization energy reduces significantly.
  • The attractive force between the protons in the nucleus and the electrons plays a very important role.
  • In metals, they have very large atomic radius, the attractive force on the outer electrons is very weak.
  • This is not the case in non-metals

Use the tabulated half-cell potentials to calculate the equilibrium constant (K) for the following balanced redox reaction at 25
o-na [289]
The equation Eºcell = 0.0592/n logK must be used to find n and also Eºcell 
2 Al(s) + 3 Mg2+(aq) → 2 Al3+(aq) + 3 Mg(s) Al3+ +3e- --> Al Eº = -1.66 V Mg2+ +2e- -->Mg Eº = -2.37V 
To balance the equation, 6 moles of electrons must be transferred (2 Al and 3 Mg). This will be the value of n in the equation. 
To find Eºcell, you need the reduction potentials which should be given in a table, and given above. Eºcell = -1.66 - (-2.37) = 0.71 V log K = Eºcell x n/0.0592 = 0.71 x 6/0.0592 log K = 71.95 K = 10^71.95 K = 1.1x10^72
