The compound sodium carbonate is a strong electrolyte because it completely dissociates when placed in water into its component ions. The equation of the reaction can be expressed as:

$Na_2CO_3_{(s)} ---> 2 Na^+_{(aq)} + CO_3^{(2+)}_{(aq)}$

The dissociation leads to the formation of sodium and carbonate ions with the latter held together by its internal covalent bond.

This is unlike weak electrolytes that do not dissociate completely in water or aqueous solutions. Only a small fraction of the solute exists as ions in the solution.

An element has an atomic number of 29. The number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom of the element are *

nasty-shy [4]

The number of protons and electrons in a neutral atom of the element are;

D. 29 protons and 29 electrons

The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of each atom of that element.

Thus copper has an atomic number of 29, all atoms of copper will have 29 protons.
