Well there is the same amount of electrons as protons and if you add the number of protons and neutrons together you get the atomic number.
the number of protons is roughly half that of the atomic number but not all the time so i dont know how to find it just from the atomic mass but if you have a periodic table you can look at the atomic mass and find which element it is and then do it from there also the atomic mass is the bottom numbers the protons are the top numbers of the atom in like 2

Suppose that, from measurements in a microscope, you determine that a certain layer of graphene covers an area of 2.60μm2. conve
garri49 [273]
Given that 1 micrometer or micron (um) is equivalent by definition to 1 x 10^-6 m, this means that 1 square micron (um^2) is equivalent to (1 x 10^-6)^2 m^2, or 1 x 10^-12 m^2.

(2.60 um^2) * (1 x 10^-12 m^2 / 1 um^2) = 2.60 x 10^-12 m^2
Therefore the layer of graphene covers an area of 2.60 x 10^-12 m^2.

Answer:

1. How do metals and non-metals react with acids?

Ans : Non metals does not react with acids while metals react with acids and produce hydrogen gas that burns with a 'pop'sound.

2. Write and explain the chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium with sulphuric acid and aluminium with hydrochloric acid.

Magnesium + sulphuric acid = Hydrogen + salt

Mg(s) + H2SO4 (aq) MgSO 4(aq) +H2 (g)

Aluminium + Hydrochloric acid = Hydrogen + Aluminium chloride

2Al(s)+6HCl(aq)→2AlCl3(aq)+3H2(g)
