Answer:

Electrons and protons have opposite electric charge. They are present in the same number, but opposite electric charge. ( since the atom is neutral )

Explanation:

if we look at the periodic table we see, for the sodium atom (Na), that the atomic number (Z) is 11. The atomic number is the number of protons. Protons are positive.

Since this sodium atom is neutral, this means that there are the same number of electrons, which are negative. So also 11 electrons.

Electrons and protons have opposite electric charge.

Following the formula A = Z + N

Here is A = atomic mass, and is the sum of protons ( same as electrons ) + neutrons

As we can see on the periodic table the atomic mass of Sodium(Na) is 23

23 = 11 + N  ⇔ N = 23 -11 = 12 neutrons

What is the percent composition each element in c6h8o6
QveST [7]

Answer:

Percentage of oxygen = 30%

Percentage of carbon = 30%

Percentage of hydrogen = 40%

Explanation:

Formula:

Percentage of element = given amount / total amount × 100

Given compound:

C₆H₈O₆

Number of atoms of carbon = 6

Number of atoms of hydrogen = 8

Number of atoms of oxygen = 6

Total number of atoms = 20

Percentage of carbon = 6/20 × 100

Percentage of carbon = 30%

Percentage of Hydrogen = 8/20 × 100

Percentage of Hydrogen = 40%

Percentage of oxygen = 6/20 × 100

Percentage of oxygen = 30%

Draw the major product for the reaction of 1-butyne with water in the presence of catalytic TfOH (i.e., CF3SO3H). Then answer th
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

2-Butanone

Explanation:

From the given information:

The presence of mercury as an acid catalyst brings about the addition of water to the triple bond which yields enol. Then, according to Markownikov's rule and after tautomerism has occurred, we have a methyl ketone ( 2- Butanone) as the product.

The answer regarding the transformation is addition and hydration.
