Answer:
atomic mass= 33
Charge= -2
Explanation:
In an atom, are contained three SUBATOMIC particles viz: proton and neutron found in the nucleus, electrons surrounding the nucleus. Protons contain the positive charge of an atom while electrons contain the negative charge of an atom. The number of protons and electrons in an atom determines the charge of an ion (charged atom). Also, the atomic mass or mass number of that atom is got by adding the number of protons + number of neutrons.
In this case where the number of protons and number of neutrons are 16 and 17 respectively, the mass no. or atomic mass is 17 + 16 = 33.
Also, since two electrons are gained by this atom, it means the electron numbe, which is normally equal to the proton number in a neutral atom, will be increased by 2. Hence, the electron number will be 18 in this case.
The charge of the atom= no. of protons - no. of electrons = 16 - 18 = -2.
The chemical formula : 3HgBr₂(Mercury(II) bromide)
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
The chemical formulas of Mercury and Bromine
Required
The appropriate chemical formula
Solution
A molecular formula is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.
The number of molecules is determined by the coefficient in front of the compound
the number of atoms is determined by the subscript after the atom and the coefficient
Three molecules⇒ coefficient = 3
one atom of Mercury ⇒Hg
two atoms of Bromine ⇒ Br₂
The chemical formula : 3HgBr₂
The neutrons take up most of the space of an atom
<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is saturated solution.
<u>Explanation:</u>
For the given options:
Dilute solutions are defined as the solutions in which solute particles are present in less very amount than the solvent particles.
Unsaturated solutions are defined as the solutions where more and more of solute particles can be dissolved in the given amount of solvent.
Saturated solutions are defined as the solutions where no more solute particles can be dissolved in the solvent. The concentration of the solute particles that can be dissolved in a solution is maximum.
Supersaturated solutions are defined as the solutions where more amount of solute particles are present than the solvent particles.
From the above information, we conclude that the given solution is saturated solution.
