D.  The number of electrons equals the atomic number for a neutral element.  Each number after the letter refers to the number of electrons in that shell.  So for D, 2+2+6+2+6+2 = 20 electrons, which is equal to the atomic number.

What is the reduction half equation of Fe(s)+ 2 HC2H3O2(aq) → Fe(C2H3O2)2(aq) + H2(g)
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

2 H⁺ + 2e = H₂    ( reduction )

Explanation:

Fe( s ) + 2 CH₃COOH = Fe ( OOCCH₃ ) ₂ + H₂

Fe( s ) = Fe⁺² + 2e     ( oxidation )

2 H⁺ + 2e = H₂    ( reduction )

Consider two equal-volume balloons under the same conditions of temperature and pressure. One contains helium, and the other con
Olegator [25]

Answer:

1. Number of gas particles (atoms or molecules)

2. Number of moles of gas

3. Average kinetic energy

Explanation:

Since the two gas has the same volume and are under the same conditions of temperature and pressure,

Then:

1. They have the same number of mole because 1 mole of any gas at stp occupies 22.4L. Now both gas will occupy the same volume because they have the same number of mole

2. Since they have the same number of mole, then they both contain the same number of molecules as explained by Avogadro's hypothesis which states that at the same temperature and pressure, 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02x10^23 molecules or atoms.

3. Being under the same conditions of temperature and pressure, they both have the same average kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of gas is directly proportional to the temperature. Now that both gas are under same temperature, their average kinetic energy are the same.

How many protons, electrons, and neutrons does 1 H+ isotope contain
nlexa [21]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

H+ contains 1 proton, 0 neutrons, 0 electrons.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.
  • Atoms are made of sub-atomic particles neutrons and protons found in the nucleus and electrons found in the energy levels.
  • A hydrogen atom contains 1 proton and 0 neutrons in the nucleus and 1 electron in the energy levels.
  • A hydrogen atom loses an electron to form an ion with 1 proton, 0 neutron and 0 electron.
