The atomic number of calculated as number of protons + number of neutrons. The number of protons are the same as atomic number. This implies that Nitrogen has seven protons. To get the the number of neutron we minus atomic mass from number of protons
that is 14-7=7 neutrons
the correct answer is A.
Each atom has three sub particles, which are electron, proton and neutron. To get the atomic mass for each atom, one has to add the masses of the proton, neutron and electron in an atom. For each atom, the major contributors to its mass are proton and neutron, this is because the mass of the electron is very small indeed. Thus, the atomic mass of an element is usually in the range of its mass number, which is obtained by the summation of proton and neutron. Since it is the number of proton that indicate an atomic number and it is the mass number that indicate atomic mass, therefore, atomic mass can be greater than the atomic number.
Answer:
Formula Weight of gas sample = 20.1 g/mole => Neon (Ne)
Explanation:
Use Ideal Gas Law formula to determine formula weight and compare to formula weights of answer choices.
PV = nRT = (mass/fwt)RT => fwt = (mass/Volume)RT = Density x R x T
Density = 0.900 grams/L
R = 0.08206 L·atm/mole·K
T = 0.00°C = 273Kfwt = (0.900g/L)(0.08206L·atm/mole·K )(273K)
= 20.1 g/mol => Neon (Ne)
Answer:
I interpret the answers as being nonmetallic and metallic.
Explanation:
Nonmetals are in groups 14 - 18. Electronegativity is referred to as the want to attract electrons to an atom. Noble gases (group 18) have eight valence electrons in their outer subshells and are therefore atomically stable. Elements with only 7 valence electrons are very electronegative because they desire to obtain an electron to reach stability more than a group 2 element would (they are more likely to drop electrons by giving away in order to reach atomic stability of a group 18 element). This coincides with electron configuration, which is a very lengthy topic to cover. You can conduct more research if you would need it.
