When an atom shares electrons they form a covalent bond.
Instability of an atoms nucleus can result from an excess of either neutrons or protons . So neutrons and protons .
Answer: 10
Explanation:
The detailed solution is contained in the image attached. The molar mass of hydrated and anhydrous salts are obtained and the number of moles of hydrated and hydrated salts are equated. The masses of hydrated and anhydrous salts are gives in the question and are simply substituted accordingly. This can now be used to obtain the number of molecules of water of crystallization as required in the question.
Groups IVB–VIII, IB, and IIB, or 4–12
Answer: It depends on the element.
