Linear Hydrogen Cyanide. In this example, HCN, the Lewis diagram shows carbon at the center with no lone electron pairs. The carbon and nitrogen are bonded through a triple bond which counts as "one electron pair". Hence the molecule has two electron pairs and is linear<span>.</span>

study the diagram and answer the following questions. a. Name A and B. b. Which element is it? Write its name and B symbol. p*=
Oksana_A [137]

Ai. A is called nucleus

Aii. B is called electron shell

B. The name of the element is Neon and the symbol of the element is Ne.

Ci. The atomic mass of the element is 20.

Cii. The atomic number of the element is 10

Di. The element belongs to group 18.

Dii. The element belongs to period 2.

E. The element has a valency of 8

A. Determination of the name of A and B

In the diagram given above, A is called the nucleus because it contains the neutrons and the protons of the atom.

B is called the electron shell because it contains the electrons of the atoms

B. Determination of the name and symbol of the element.

From the diagram given above,

The element has 10 protons. This simply means that the atomic number of the element is 10.

Comparing the atomic number of the element with those in the periodic table, the element is Neon with a symbol of Ne.

C. Determination of the atomic mass and atomic number.

Ci. Determination of the mass number

Proton = 10

Neutron = 10

<h3>Mass number =?</h3>

Mass number = Proton + Neutron

Mass number = 10 + 10

<h3>Mass number = 20</h3>

Thus, the atomic mass of the element is 20.

Cii. Determination of the atomic number.

The atomic number of an element is simply the number of protons in the atom of the element.

Proton = 10

Therefore,

Atomic number = proton = 10

Thus, the atomic number of the element is 10

D. Determination of the group and period.

Di. The group to which an element belongs to can be obtained by simply calculating the number of electrons in the outermost shell of the atom.

From the diagram given above, the outermost shell has 8 electrons. This suggest that the element has completely filled outermost shell.

Therefore, the element belongs to group 18 (i.e the noble gas)

Dii. The number of electron shell talks about the period to which and element belongs to.

From the diagram given above, the element has 2 electron shells.

Therefore, the element belongs to period 2

E. Determination of the valence electron(s)

The valence electron(s) is the number of electrons in the outermost shell of the atom.

From the diagram given above,

The outermost shell has 8 electrons.

Therefore, the element has 8 valence electrons

The half life of a new isotope found on Mars is 2 years. It takes 10 years to get the sample back to Earth. If the astronauts st
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

3.99 g

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Half life (t½) = 2 years.

Original amount (N₀) = 128 g

Time (t) = 10 years

Amount remaining (N) =..?

Next, we shall determine the rate of disintegration of the isotope. This can be obtained as follow:

Half life (t½) = 2 years.

Decay constant (K) =.?

K= 0.693/t½

K = 0.693/2

K = 0.3465 year¯¹.

Finally, we shall determine the amount remaining after 10 years i.e the amount remaining when they arrive on Earth. This can be obtained as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 128 g

Time (t) = 10 years

Decay constant (K) = 0.3465 year¯¹.

Amount remaining (N) =..?

Log (N₀/N) = kt/2.3

Log (128/N) = (0.3465 × 10)/2.3

Log (128/N) = 1.5065

Take the antilog of 1.5065

128/N = Antilog (1.5065)

128/N = 32.1

Cross multiply

128 = 32.1 × N

Divide both side by 32.1

N = 128/32.1

N = 3.99 g

Therefore, the amount remaining is 3.99 g

Let's consider a scenario in which the resting membrane potential changes from −70 mV to +70 mV, but the concentrations of all i
Inessa [10]

Answer: The correct answer is 1. outside and 2. inside.

Explanation:

During the resting potential (-70 mV), the concentration of Na+ is bigger outside than inside, so this situation generates a trend for moving inside. If we consider a scenario where the resting potential changes from -70 mV to +70 mV, we would realize that the electrical gradient would stop the entrance of Na+ ions and would make them to move outside.
