Answer: A

Explanation:

A Gold (Au) atom has 79 protons and 79 electrons. A typical gold atom has 118 neutrons, though there are 18 other radioisotopes discovered so far. 79 is its charge (atomic number), which is both its proton number and electron number

D. Protons, if you change the number of protons you change the element. You cannot change nuclei. You can have the same element with different numbers of neutrons (isotopes) and different numbers of electrons (ions). So protons will allow you to identify the element.

What is the most stable monatomic ion formed from lithium?

s344n2d4d5 [400]

<u>Answer:</u> The ion formed by lithium element is $Li^+$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ions are formed when an atom looses or gains electrons.

If an atom gains electrons, it leads to the formation of negative ions known as anions. For Example: Fluorine gains 1 electron to form $F^-$ ions.

If an atom looses electrons, it leads to the formation of positive ions known as cations. For Example: Sodium looses 1 electron to form $Na^+$ ions.

Lithium is the 3rd element of the periodic table having 3 electrons.

The electronic configuration of lithium element = $1s^22s^1$

This element will loose 1 electron to attain stable electronic configuration and will lead to the formation of $Li^+$ ion.

Hence, the ion formed by lithium element is $Li^+$

A solution containing aluminium ions forms a white precipitate when a few drops of dilute sodium hydroxide solution are added to

Otrada [13]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A word equation tries to depict a chemical reaction in words. Letters rather than only chemical formulas are used to show the reaction equation.

Now we want to write a word equation that shows the reaction of sodium hydroxide solution and aluminium sulphate solution:

Alumunium sulphate + sodium hydroxide ------>Aluminium hydroxide + sodium sulphate
