Isotope ¹⁸F⁻ contains:
1) p⁺ = 9; number of protons.
Fluorine has a<span>tomic number Z = 9 (total number of protons).
2) e</span>⁻<span> = 10; </span>number of electrons.<span>
In element number of electrons and protons are the same, because element has neutral charge, but because in this example, fluorine is anion with negative charge, it has one electron more.
3) n</span>° = 9; number of neutrons.
<span>Mass number
A = 18 is total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus, so number of neutrons is A-Z = 18-9=9.</span>
Only answers C and D would make sense in this question. Hope I helped please give brainiest!
<span>Average oxidation state = VO1.19
Oxygen is-2. Then 1.19 (-2) = -2.38
Average oxidation state of V is +2.38
Consider 100 formula units of VO1.19
There would be 119 Oxide ions = Each oxide is -2. Total charge = -2(119) = -238
The total charge of all the vanadium ions would be +238.
Let x = number of of V+2
Then 100 – x = number of V+3
X(+2) + 100-x(+3) = +238
2x + 300 – 3x = 238
-x = 238-300 = -62
x = 62
Thus 62/100 are V+2
62/100 * 100 = 62%
</span>62 % is the percentage of the vanadium atoms are in the lower oxidation state. Thank you for posting your question. I hope that this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.
D. Electron cloud allowed the particles to pass through
The correct answer B. increase the flame setting to produce more heat
