NO.OF.MOLES= MASS/ATOMIC MASS
THE ATOMICITY OF SULPHUR IS 8 AND ITS MASS NUMBER IS 32.
SO, THE ATOMIC MASS IS 256
NO.OF.MOLES= 53.7/256
= 537/2560
= 0.2097
The correct option is C.
An atom can be either in the ground state or in an excited state. An atom is said to be in the ground state, if the total energy of its electron can not be lowered by moving one or more electrons into different orbitals. At the ground state, the electrons in the atom have the lowest energy possible and they are stable. On the other hand, an atom is said to be in an excited state, if the energy of its electrons can be lowered by transferring one or more electrons into different orbitals. An atom in an excited state has more energy and is less stable.
Explanation:
The chemical formula of an ionic compound can be written by using the symbols of the respective cations and anions.
The overall charge on the molecule should be zero.
Hence, the total charge of cations=total charge of anions.
The symbols of the given molecules are shown below:
sodium chloride ---- NaCl
magnesium chloride ---
calcium oxide ---- CaO
lithium phosphide----
aluminum sulfide ----- 
calcium nitride---- 
Answer:
Its in the Explanation
Explanation:
Here's what I got.
Aluminium-27 is an isotope of aluminium characterized by the fact that is has a mass number equal to
27
.
Now, an atom's mass number tells you the total number of protons and of neutrons that atom has in its nucleus. Since you're dealing with an isotope of aluminum, it follows that this atom must have the exact same number of protons in its nucleus.
The number of protons an atom has in its nucleus is given by the atomic number. A quick looks in the periodic table will show that aluminum has an atomic number equal to
13
.
This means that any atom that is an isotope of aluminum will have
13
protons in its nucleus.
Since you're dealing with a neutral atom, the number of electrons that surround the nucleus must be equal to the number of protons found in the nucleus.
Therefore, the aluminium-27 isotope will have
13
electrons surrounding its nucleus.
Finally, use the known mass number to determine how many neutrons you have
