<u>Answer:</u> The element is Fluorine.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Atomic mass is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

We are given:

Number of protons = 9 = Atomic number

Number of electrons = 9

Number of neutrons = 10

Mass number = 9 + 10 = 19

The element having atomic number equal to 9 and mass number equal to 19 is fluorine.

Hence, the element is Fluorine.

The correct answer is C.  We know this is true since the number of protons an atom has is its atomic number.  Since this atom  has 9 protons, look for the element on the periodic table that has an atomic number of 9.  The element that has an atomic number of 9 is flouring.

I hope this helps.

Which of the following is true in regard to ions? A. A cation will hold a positive charge if it gains one or more electrons. B.
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

B. An ionized atom has a number of protons that is unequal to the number of electrons.

Explanation:

For a neutral atom , the number of proton and electron is equal. An ionized atom has either loss or gain electron, thereby making the number of proton and electron unequal. The answer B is true because an ionized atom has either loss or gain electron to make the number of electron and proton unequal.

Option A is incorrect because a cations holds a positive charge when it loss one or more electron not when it gains one or more electron(s). Anions possess negative charge for gaining electron(s).

Option C is not true because ions can also carry negative charges and they are called anions.

Option D is false because losing one or more electron will turn an atom to a cations.

Electrochemical cells can be used to measure ionic concentrations. A cell is set up with a pair of Zn electrodes, each immersed
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

the concentration of the solution is 0.00906 M

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that from Nernst Equation;

E = E⁰ - ((0.0592/n) logQ)

now, E₀ for concentration cell is 0

n for this redox is 2

concentration of the unknown solution is x

so we substitute

0.045 = 0 - ( 0.0592 / 2)log( x/0.300 ))

0.045 = -0.0296log( x/0.300 )

divide both side by 0.0296

1.52 = -log( x/0.300 )

x/0.300 = 10^{-1.52

x/0.300 = 0.0301995

we cross multiply

x = 0.300 × 0.0301995

x =  0.00906 M

Therefore, the concentration of the solution is 0.00906 M
