Answer:

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a measure of the ability of an atom to attract the electrons when the atom is part of a compound. Electronegativity values generally increase from left to right across the periodic table. The highest electronegativity value is for fluorine.

Why do you need many different indicators to span the entire ph spectrum?

marin [14]

The answer is each indicator has a narrow range. We need many different indicators to span the entire ph spectrum because each indicator has a narrow range.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

For 1: The correct answer is Option A.

For 2: The correct answer is Option B.

For 3: The correct answer is Option C.

Explanation:

For 1:

Atomic number is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons that are present in a neutral atom. It is represented as Z.

Z = Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons present in an atom. It is represented as A.

A = Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.

For 2:

The isotopic representation of an atom is: $_Z^A\textrm{X}$

where,

Z = Atomic number of the atom

A = Mass number of the atom

X = Symbol of the atom

We are given:

An isotopic representation of beryllium atom: $_4^9\textrm{Be}$

Thus, the number '4' represents the atomic number of beryllium, number '9' represents the mass number of beryllium atom.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

For 3:

In CO compound:

Mass of oxygen = 16 g

Mass of carbon = 12 g

In $CO_2$ compound:

Mass of oxygen = 32 g

Mass of carbon = 12 g

Thus, the ratio of mass of oxygen in $CO_2$ and CO is:

$CO_2:CO=32:16=2:1$

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.
