What are the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons for the −2 anion from the 17O isotope of oxygen? (The atomic number of o

xygen is 8.)
Select one:
a. 8p+; 8n; 6e−
b. 8p+; 10n; 8e−
c. 7p+; 10n; 10e−

The correct answer is d. 8p+; 9n; 10e−

Oxygen exists in three isotopes ¹⁶O, ¹⁷O and ¹⁸O. The atomic number of oxygen is 8. It means its nuclei has 8 protons. The given is oxide⁻² anion. This means it has gained 2 electrons. Thus, oxide anion have 8 protons and 10 (8+2) electrons. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope, in this question mass number is given¹⁷O. The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Hence, number of neutrons oxide anion will be 17-8 = 9 neutrons.

Which statement best applies collision theory to preventing a dangerous reaction from occurring?
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer;

Keep the reactants in separate containers.

Explanation;

-According to the collision theory of reactivity, reactions occur when reactant molecules effectively collide. For an “effective collision” to occur, the reactant molecules must be oriented in space correctly to facilitate the breaking and forming of bonds and the rearrangement of atoms that result in the formation of product molecules.

Rosalind Franklin used x-ray diffraction to record how x-rays scatter when bounced off the surface of DNA molecules.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

e) All of the answers are correct

Explanation:

The first X-ray picture of DNA taken in 1952 by Rosalind Franklin using the  X-ray crystallography technique revealed the helical shape of DNA. Based on this discovery, it was discovered later on that the DNA molecule was made of two chains of nucleotides and at high humidity i.e when exposed to water it becomes long and thin.
