What do you look at to tell the reactivity of an atom?

Chemistry

tia_tia [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom determines its reactivity. Noble gases have low reactivity because they have full electron shells. Halogens are highly reactive because they readily gain an electron to fill their outermost shell.

Complete the nuclear equation<br><br> 42 K → 0 e <br>19____-1
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

42 19 K→42 20 Ca+e−

Explanation:

Naturally-occurring potassium atoms have a weighted average atomic mass of 39.10 (as seen on most modern versions of the periodic table.) Each potassium atom contains 19 protons p+ and thus an average potassium atom contains about 39.10−19≈20 neutrons n0.

This particular isotope of potassium-42 contains 42 nucleons (i.e., protons and neutrons, combined;) Like other isotopes of potassium 19 out of these nucleons are protons; the rest 42−19=23 are therefore neutrons.

An atom of Fe has 30 neutrons. What is the mass number of this atom?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

56

Explanation:

The mass number of an atom is a sum of its number of protons and neutrons. Iron (Fe) has an atomic number of 26. This means that it has 26 protons. Since we know it has 26 protons and are told it has 30 neutrons. The mass number of this atom of Iron is 26+30 = 56

Which of the four solutions is the best buffer against addition of acid or base?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

b. Na2HPO4 + NaH2PO4.

A <em>buffer </em>is a solution of a weak acid and its conjugate base. The weak acid is H2PO4^(-) and its conjugate base is HPO4^(2-).

All the other options are incorrect because they consist of only a single component.
