Chemistry
1 answer:
postnew [5]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

C) Potassium, K, and calcium, Ca

Explanation:

Given pair of elements:

Ni and Cu

Potassium and Ca

Nitrogen and oxygen

Solution:

We know that number of protons and number of electrons are always equal and number of electron or number of proton is called atomic number.

Number of protons given elements:

Ni number of protons = 28

Copper number of protons  = 29

Combine number of protons = 57

K number of protons  = 19

Ca number of protons = 20

Combine number of protons = 39

Ni number of protons  = 7

O number of protons  = 8

Combine number of protons = 15

Thus,  option C is correct.

An atom of chlorine with a mass number of 37 contains __ protons and __ neutrons.
Natasha2012 [34]

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  

27

.

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  

13

.

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

13

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  

13

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

A weather system moving through the American Midwest produced rain with an average pH of 5.02. By the time the system reached Ne
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The rain falling in New England is 2.29 times more acidic than the one in the American Midwest.

Explanation:

The acidity of a solution depends on the concentration of H⁺ ions ([H⁺]). We can calculate this concentration from the pH using the following expression.

pH = -log ([H⁺])

American Midwest

pH = -log ([H⁺])

5.02 = -log ([H⁺])

[H⁺] = antilog (-5.02) = 9.55 × 10⁻⁶ M

New England

pH = -log ([H⁺])

4.66 = -log ([H⁺])

[H⁺] = antilog (-4.66) = 2.19 × 10⁻⁵ M

The ratio of concentrations is:

\frac{2.19 \times 10^{-5} M  }{9.55 \times 10^{-6} M} =2.29

The rain falling in New England is 2.29 times more acidic than the one in the American Midwest.

In an electrically neutral atom of any element, there are equal numbers of
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

B. electrons and protons.

Explanation:

In an electrically neutral atom of any element, there are equal number of protons and electrons in the atom.

Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom.

Electrons are the negatively charged particles within the atom.

  When the number of protons and electrons are the same or equal, the atom is neutral.

But when there is an imbalance, an ion results.

Can atoms be created or destroyed during a chemical reaction?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

During chemical reaction, atomes cannot be created or destroyed, they can only react together to form <em>E</em><em>l</em><em>e</em><em>m</em><em>e</em><em>n</em><em>t</em><em> </em>or <em>C</em><em>o</em><em>m</em><em>p</em><em>o</em><em>u</em><em>n</em><em>d</em><em> </em>at the <em>P</em><em>r</em><em>o</em><em>d</em><em>u</em><em>c</em><em>t</em><em> </em>side.
