Mercury is in the 80th position in the periodic table. How many protons does it have?
2 answers:
Answer: 80
Explanation:
Elements are arranged in periodic table in order of increasing atomic number.
Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an atom.
Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons
Mercury (Hg) is a d block element and its atomic number is 80, thus it contains 80 protons and 80 electrons.
Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.
Electronic configuration of mercury in terms of noble gas configuration is .

Answer:
m = 375 [gram]
Explanation:
A triple Beam balance is an instrument very easy to use, since we only have to perform the arithmetic sum of each of the weights that are recorded in each beam
m = 300 + 70 + 5 = 375 [gram]
For a better understanding, the following image is attached, with values on each beam, which should be read.
The largest mass is in the indicator of 100 [gram], the second mass is in the indicator of 20 [gram] and the third is in the indicator of 5.8 [gram]. Thus the arithmetic sum corresponds to:
M= 100 + 20 + 5.8 = 125.8 [gram]
Note: it is important that when the instrument is in balance, the opposite end of the beam should indicate a position of zeros.
