Isotope ¹⁸F⁻ contains:
1) p⁺ = 9; number of protons.
Fluorine has a<span>tomic number Z = 9 (total number of protons).
2) e</span>⁻<span> = 10; </span>number of electrons.<span>
In element number of electrons and protons are the same, because element has neutral charge, but because in this example, fluorine is anion with negative charge, it has one electron more.
3) n</span>° = 9; number of neutrons.
<span>Mass number A = 18 is total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus, so number of neutrons is A-Z = 18-9=9.</span>

Explain, in terms of subatomic particles, why the radius of a chloride ion is larger than the radius of a chlorine atom.
den301095 [7]
The radius of a chlorine ion is larger than the radius of a chlorine atom because  the effective nuclear charge decreases, therefore the inward force decreases, increasing the ionic radius.

1. Round each of the following numbers to four significant figures, and express the result in scientific notation:
vfiekz [6]

The rounding up of the aforementioned number to four significant figures is as follows: 3.002 × 10²

<h3>What are significant figures?</h3>

Significant figures are figures that contribute to the general and overall value of the whole number.

Significant figures or digits are specifically meaningful with respect to the precision of a measurement.

Although, the original number given in this question has 9 significant figures, the number; 300.235800 can be rounded up to four significant figures as follows:

  • Decimal notation: 300.2
  • No. of significant figures: 4
  • No. of decimals: 1
  • Scientific notation: 3.002 × 10²

Therefore, the rounding up of the aforementioned number to four significant figures is as follows: 3.002 × 10².

Which pairing below does not correctly match the scientist with the contribution to the understanding of the atom? A. Proust and
Lyrx [107]
The answer would be C. In fact, letter A already defines the Law of Definite Proportions. On the other hand, J.J. Thomson was responsible for the discovery of electrons through cathode ray tube experiments. The rest of the choices are true.
