Explanation:
Ions are the species that contain a charge either positive or negative charge.
When a neutral atom loses an electron then it acquires a positive charge. Whereas if a neutral atom gains an electron then it acquires a negative charge.
For example,
means there is +1 charge on sodium.
But if a compound does not contain any charge then it means the compound is neutral.
For example, in the compound
there is no charge so, this compound is neutral.
Hence, we can conclude that no ions are present in a sample of
.
Given the following balanced equation , if 5.00 moles of hydrogen gas and 5.00 miles
Energy, I think, haven't done that since 8th grade
<span>Balanced nuclear reaction: 234/91 Pa → 4/2 He + 230/89 Ac.
1) number of protons and neutrons on both side of nuclear reaction must be the same. There are 91 protons (atomic number) and 143 neutrons (mass number - atomic number, 234 - 91 = 143 or (4-2) + (230 - 89) = 143)) on both side of reaction.
2) a</span>lpha
decay is radioactive decay<span> in which
an atomic nucleus emits
an alpha particle (helium
nucleus) and transforms into an atom with an atomic
number that is reduced by two and mass number that is reduced by four, so atomic mass of new element is 89 (91 - 2) and mass number is 230 (234 - 4 = 230).
3) look at atomic number, element with atomic number 89 is actinium.</span>
