If an element has an atomic number of 11 and a mass number of 23, how many protons, neutrons, and electrons does it have
Lostsunrise [7]
Protons = atomic number = 11
electrons = proton number = 11
neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 23-11 = 12

Which element from this portion of the table chemically reacts in a way similar to the way the element chlorine (Cl) reacts? (1)
mina [271]
D. I or Iodine

This is because they are both in the same periodic family (the halogens) and thus the number of valence electrons are the same

True or false. Gas particles never touch each other.
Sati [7]

Answer:

False.  In a gas, particles are in continual straight-line motion. The kinetic energy of the molecule is greater than the attractive force between them, thus they are much farther apart and move freely of each other.

Explanation:

Hope this helps! :)

. an ionic compound is composed of 34.95 g of iron and 15.05 g of oxygen. find the empirical formula of this compound.
Contact [7]

Empirical formula of ionic compound is FeO. In which the composition of atoms is 1 : 1.

Empirical formula of an ionic compound is defined as the formula which gives whole number ratio of atoms of various elements present in molecule of compund.

mass of iron in compound = 34.95 g

molar mass of iron = 55.8 g

mass of oxygen in compound = 15.05 g

molar mass of oxygen = 32 g

number of moles of iron present in the compound are ratio of mass of iron in compound/ molar mass of iron

number of moles of iron in compound= 34.95 / 55.8 = 0.6263 ~ 1

number of moles oxygen in compound= 15.05/ 32 = 0.473 ~ 0.5

the ratio of the number of oxygen atoms to number of iron atoms present in one formula unit of iron compund is 2×0.5 / 1 = 1 : 1

Hence , the required empirical formula of iron compound is FeO.

A hydroelectric dam produces renewable energy for the local area. Which best explains why more hydroelectric dams are not built?
romanna [79]

Answer:

The dam disrupts the river wildlife and ecosystem.

Explanation:

Though it is believed that using the dam as a power generation or hydroelectric power supply generates no greenhouse gases, it, however, has many disadvantages which make it deemed not suitable or sustainable for use in the contemporary time.

Majorly, the top reason why more hydroelectric dams are not built is that "the dam disrupts the river wildlife and ecosystem."

Also, it affects the water quality and other use of water for humans such as recreational use.

There is also a possible chance of dams producing methane; a greenhouse gas through the organic materials in the water that is rotting.
