The smaller number is the number of protons, and the greater number is the mass.
Answer:
To gain stability
Explanation:
If the outermost shell is not completely filled with electrons, the element has one of the three options: gaining electrons, losing electrons or sharing electrons. By gaining or losing electrons, ionic compounds are produced. Sharing of electrons results in the formation of covalent compounds.
B- Predict the damages due to an earthquake
Answer:
The last option:
- NH₃ (aq) + H⁺ (aq) → NH₄⁺ (aq)
Explanation:
1) Word equation
- Aqueous ammonia + nitric acid → aqueous ammonium nitrate
2) Chemical (molecular) equation
- NH₃ (aq) + HNO₃ (aq) → NH₄ NO₃
3) Ionization reactions
Write the dissociation of the soluble ionic compounds:
4) Total ionic equation:
- NH₃ (aq) + H⁺ (aq) + NO₃⁻ (aq) → NH₄⁺ (aq) + NO₃⁻ (aq)
5) Net ionic equation
You must cancel the spectator ions, which are those ions that are repeated in both reactant and product sides, i.e. NO₃⁻. They are name spectator because they do not participate (change) during the reaction.
- NH₃ (aq) + H⁺ (aq) → NH₄⁺ (aq)
And that is the last choice of the list.
