Answer:

Its in the Explanation

Explanation:

Here's what I got.

Aluminium-27 is an isotope of aluminium characterized by the fact that is has a mass number equal to

Now, an atom's mass number tells you the total number of protons and of neutrons that atom has in its nucleus. Since you're dealing with an isotope of aluminum, it follows that this atom must have the exact same number of protons in its nucleus.

The number of protons an atom has in its nucleus is given by the atomic number. A quick looks in the periodic table will show that aluminum has an atomic number equal to

This means that any atom that is an isotope of aluminum will have

protons in its nucleus.

Since you're dealing with a neutral atom, the number of electrons that surround the nucleus must be equal to the number of protons found in the nucleus.

Therefore, the aluminium-27 isotope will have

electrons surrounding its nucleus.

Finally, use the known mass number to determine how many neutrons you have

mass number

no. of protons

no. of neutrons

no. of neutrons = 27 − 13 = 14

Your welcome :)

Rainbow [258]

A balanced equation is a prime example of the law of the conservation of mass as the number of atoms in the reactants is consistent with the number of atoms in the reactants meaning the amount of matter has not changed and no mass has been created or destroyed hence obeying the law.

Three different atoms or atomic cations with 3 electrons.

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

$Li, Be^+, B^{2+}$

Explanation:

To answer this question successfully, we need to remember that atoms are neutral species, since the number of protons, the positively charged particles, is equal to the number of electrons, the negatively charged particles. That said, we may firstly find an atom which has 3 electrons (and, as a result, 3 protons, as it should be neutral).

The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of an element. We firstly may have an atom with 3 protons and 3 electrons (atomic number of 3, this is Li).

Similarly, we may take the atomic number of 4, beryllium, and remove 1 electron from it. Upon removing an electron, it would become beryllium cation, $Be^+$ .

We may use the same logic going forward and taking the atomic number of 5. This is boron. In this case, we need to remove 2 electrons to have a total of 3 electrons. Removal of 2 electrons would yield a +2-charged cation: $B^{2+}$ .
