How would the composition of an atom change if both the atomic number and mass number each increase by one?

Chemistry

Montano1993 [528]4 years ago

Answer:

The atom would have one more proton and electron.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

Consider an atom X has 6 atomic number and 12 atomic mass. Atom gain one electron and one proton thus its atomic number will be

6+1 = 7

Atomic mass 12+1 = 13

It means by increasing one proton one electron atomic number and atomic weight both will increase by one.

3 Na2O(aq) + 2 Al(NO3)3(aq) ----> _ Compound A + _ Compound B
Olin [163]
3Na2O(at) + 2Al(NO3)3(aq) —> 6NaNO3(aq) + Al2O3(s)

This is a double replacement reaction and NaNO3 is aqueous because Na is an alkali metal, plus nitrate is in the solution. Both of these are soluble. Al2O3 is not soluble because it does not contain any element that is soluble and is hence the precipitate.

Hope this helped!

Choose the answer below that gives the correct chemical symbol and classification (metal, metalloid, or nonmetal) for the elemen
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: B. The element called tin is a metal with the chemical symbol Sn.

Explanation:

A is incorrect because Ni is Nickel, not Niobium.

C is incorrect because Carbon is a nonmetal and its symbol is C, not Cr.

D is incorrect because Copper's symbol is Cu, not Ce.

E is incorrect because As is the symbol for Arsenic, not Astatine.

What is the average atomic mass compared to atomic mass
muminat

Answer:

Answer in explanation

Explanation:

The atomic mass can be defined as the addition of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. When we talk of atomic mass, we are considering the mass of a particular isotope.

The average atomic mass or otherwise called the relative atomic mass is the atomic mass of the element itself. It has been calculated by taking into consideration the atomic masses of all the contributing isotopes existing in nature.

For example we have carbon 14 and carbon 12. While 14 is the atomic mass of that isotope, 12 is the relative atomic mass of the carbon atom. The abundance in nature of the different isotopes will dictate where the final atomic mass will lean
