Answer:
Element symbol Cu
Number of protons 29
Number of electrons 28
Explanation:
To get the element symbol, we need the name of the element. To correctly identify the name of the element, we need the proton number.
Now the mass number is 65 and the number of neutrons is 36. The number of protons is this the mass number minus the number of neutrons. This equals 65 - 36 = 29 protons.
The element with 29 protons is copper Cu.
Now to get the number of electrons, for an electrically neutral atom , the number of electrons equals the number of protons. But here, the atom is not electrically neutral anymore as it has now formed a univalent positive ion of +1.
To form a positive ion, you have to do so by losing electrons. The atom in question here has just lost one electron. Thus, our of the 29, it is left with only 28 electrons.
The formula of butane is C4H10 but I don't how many atoms it contains though
Answer:
B. Two chlorine atoms
Explanation:
This electronic configuration shows that the given atom is magnesium.
Electronic configuration of magnesium:
Mg¹² = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²
There are two valance electrons of magnesium that's why it would react with two atoms of chlorine. Chlorine is present in seventeen group. It has seven valance electrons. It required just one electron to get complete octet. While magnesium needed to lose two electrons to get complete octet. That's why two chlorine atoms bonded with one magnesium atom. Thus both would get complete octet.
Mg + Cl₂ → MgCl₂
