The atomic number of an element best corresponds to which of the following?

Chemistry

Answer: The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element.

Explanation: the atomic number of an element is simply the proton number of that element. This is the most reason while the ion of a particular element still retain its atomic number whether it gains or loss electrons. For example, sodium atom (Na) has 11 electrons, 11 protons and 12 neutrons. Sodium ion (Na+) on the other hand has 10 electrons because it loss one electron, 11 proton and 12 neutrons. If the atomic number was to be determined by the number of electrons, then the atomic number of sodium atom and sodium ion would have been different. So the best way to determine the atomic number is by the number of protons. Neutron number will only bring about isotope and not atomic number

The net ionic equation of the reaction is:

  • Pb²⁺aq) + 2 I(aq) → PbI2(s)

<h3>What is a net ionic ionic equation?</h3>

A net ionic equation is an equation which shows only the ions that are involved in the formation of a product in the reaction as well as the product of the reaction alone. Spectator ions are omitted.

The net ionic equation of the reaction is given below:

Pb²⁺aq) + 2 I(aq) → PbI2(s)

In conclusion, a net ionic equation does not show spectator ions.

mass of 6.584 g. After it is heated, it has a mass of 4.194 g. What is the percentage by mass of water in the hydrate?
Bad White [126]
M₁=6.584 g
m₂=4,194 g

m(H₂O)=m₁-m₂

w(H₂O)=m(H₂O)/m₁

w(H₂O)=(m₁-m₂)/m₁

w(H₂O)=(6.584-4.194)/6.584=0.3630  (36.30%)

the percentage by mass of water in the hydrate 36.30

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

has 4 electrons in its valence shell.

Explanation:

Silicon has 14 protons, so its neutral atom has also 14 electrons, thus, the electron distribution following the Linus Pauling's diagram is:

1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p²

Thus, it has 4 electrons in its valence shell (3), likely carbon. So, silicon would have some of the properties of carbon, such as form 4 bonds, and the structure would be similar.
