Answer: 27 neutrons
Explanation:
Recall that the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom = Atomic number.
Hence, Calcium with mass number 47 and atomic number 20 will have 20 protons
Therefore, since Mass number = number of protons + neutrons
47 = 20 + neutrons
Neutrons = 47 - 20 = 27
Thus, there are 27 neutrons in radioactive calcium nucleus.
Answer: option C. Copper (II) chloride
Explanation:
To name CuCl2, we need to know the oxidation state of Cu in the compound as chlorine always have oxidation on —1 in all its compound. The oxidation state of Cu can be calculated as follows:
Cu + 2Cl = 0 (since the compound has no charge)
Cl = —1
Cu + 2(—1) = 0
Cu —2 = 0
Collect like terms
Cu = 0 +2
Cu = +2
Therefore, the oxidation state of Cu in CuCl2 is +2.
The name of the compound will be copper(ii) chloride, since cupper has oxidation state +2 in the compound.
Schrödinger found the quantum mechanical model of the atom after Bohr’s model.
It is better than Bohr’s model because you can use mathematical equations to find electrons certain position. Unlike Bohr’s which is just a “cloud” where the an electron could possibly be.
