The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. The number of protons define the identity of an element (i.e., an element with 6 protons is a carbon atom, no matter how many neutrons may be present).

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

detail is given below.

Explanation:

The charged particles of nucleus are protons while neutrons are neutral having no charge.

We know that an atom consist of electrons, protons and neutrons. Neutrons and protons are present inside the nucleus while electrons are present out side the nucleus.

Electron has a negative charge and is written as e⁻. The mass of electron is 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg . While mass of proton and neutron is 1.672623×10⁻²⁷Kg and 1.674929×10⁻²⁷ Kg respectively.

Symbol of proton= P⁺  

Symbol of neutron= n⁰  

The number of electron or number of protons are called atomic number while mass number of an atom is sum of protons and neutrons.

one proton contribute 1 amu to the total weight. There are 20 protons and 20 neutrons in Ca thus its atomic mass is 40 amu.

While the atomic number is 20.

What coefficients must be added to balance the following equation?_____NaOH + _____H2 SO4 _____ Na2SO4 + _____ H2O 2, 1, 1, 13,
alexgriva [62]

_____NaOH + _____H2 SO4 _____ Na2SO4 + _____ H2O ,

To balance this equation,

Step 1:

Balance the number of sodium on both side:

by multiplying the NaOH by 2 that is:

2NaOH+H2SO4-------->Na2SO4+H2O

Step2:

As NOW the number of oxygen atom and hydrogen atom are not equal on both sides. So we multiply this H2O by 2 that is:

2NaOH+H2SO4-------->Na2SO4+2H2O

Now the no of all atoms on product side is equal to no of all atoms in the reactant side.

so the coefficient is 2 NaOH+1 H2SO4-------->1 Na2SO4+2 H2O.
