Because the identity of an atom is not based on electrons or charge. It’s entirely based on the number of protons the atom has.

Chlorine and only chlorine has 17 protons

Argon and only argon has 18 protons.

Answer:

Only number of electrons of Chlorine and argon are going to be same remaining things like mass,reactivity,ionic radii, and so on will be different so if a chlorine gains a electron we can't call it argon!! chlorine is an diatomic gas, argon exist as monoatomic, chlorine can loose that electron and form bond with another cation in order to remove the charge density,, but argon is stable itself!

Arrange the compounds by their reactivity toward electrophilic aromatic substitution.
swat32

Answer:

The order of reactivity towards electrophilic susbtitution is shown below:

a. anisole > ethylbenzene>benzene>chlorobenzene>nitrobenzene

b. p-cresol>p-xylene>toluene>benzene

c.Phenol>propylbenzene>benzene>benzoic acid

d.p-chloromethylbenzene>p-methylnitrobenzene> 2-chloro-1-methyl-4-nitrobenzene> 1-methyl-2,4-dinitrobenzene

Explanation:

Electron donating groups favor the electrophilic substitution reactions at ortho and para positions of the benzene ring.

For example: -OH, -OCH3, -NH2, Alkyl groups favor electrophilic aromatic substitution in benzene.

The -I (negative inductive effect) groups, electron-withdrawing groups deactivate the benzene ring towards electrophilic aromatic substitution.

Examples: -NO2, -SO3H, halide groups, Carboxylic acid groups, carbonyl gropus.

An actacide tablet containing Mg(OH)2 (MM = 58.3g / (mol)) is titrated with a 0.100 M solution of HNO3. The end point is determi
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

0.0583g

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

2HNO3(aq) + Mg(OH)2(aq) -------> Mg(NO3)2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

From the question, number of moles of HNO3 reacted= concentration × volume

Concentration of HNO3= 0.100 M

Volume of HNO3 = 20.00mL

Number of moles of HNO3= 0.100 × 20/1000

Number of moles of HNO3 = 2×10^-3 moles

From the reaction equation;

2 moles of HNO3 reacts with 1 mole of Mg(OH)2

2×10^-3 moles reacts with 2×10^-3 moles ×1/2 = 1 ×10^-3 moles of Mg(OH)2

But

n= m/M

Where;

n= number of moles of Mg(OH)2

m= mass of Mg(OH)2

M= molar mass of Mg(OH)2

m= n×M

m= 1×10^-3 moles × 58.3 gmol-1

m = 0.0583g

What happens to the temperature and density of the material between points B and C?
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Temperature decreases and density increases

Explanation:

Let us remember that density of a material increases as the temperature of the material decreases. So the cooler a material becomes, the denser it becomes also.

Between points B and C, the material rapidly cools down and the temperature decreases accordingly. This ultimately results in an increase in density since cooler materials are denser than hot materials.
