Answer is: the amu of a sodium atom is 23.
The unified atomic mass unit (amu) is a standard unit of atom mass.
One unified atomic mass unit is approximately the mass of one nucleon (proton or neutron).
The unified atomic mass unit is equal 1.66·10⁻²⁷ kg.
n(p⁺) = 11; number of protons in sodium atom.
n(n°) = 12; number of neutrons of sodium atom.
n(p⁺ + n°) = 11 + 12.
n(p⁺ + n°) = 23; number of nucleons in sodium atom.
Types of Bonds can be predicted by calculating the
difference in electronegativity.
If, Electronegativity difference is,
Less
than 0.4 then it is Non Polar Covalent
Between 0.4 and 1.7 then it is Polar Covalent
Greater than 1.7 then it is Ionic
For Be and F,
E.N of Fluorine = 3.98
E.N of Beryllium = 1.57
________
E.N Difference 2.41 (Ionic Bond)
For H and Cl,
E.N of Chorine = 3.16
E.N of Hydrogen = 2.20
________
E.N Difference 0.96 (Polar Covalent Bond)
For Na and O,
E.N of Oxygen = 3.44
E.N of Sodium = 0.93
________
E.N Difference 2.51 (Ionic Bond)
For F and F,
E.N of Fluorine = 3.98
E.N of Fluorine = 3.98
________
E.N Difference 0.00 (Non-Polar Covalent Bond)
Result:
A polar covalent bond is formed between Hydrogen and Chlorine atoms.
