Explanation:
I am not positive but it makes more sense
True The positive electric charge of a proton is equal in magnitude to the negative charge of an electron; therefore, the net electric charge of an ion is equal to its number of protons minus its number of electrons. Ions are highly reactive species.
For answering for the question, there exists four choices:
1) Na+ + e- -------------- Na
2) Na --------Na+ + e-
3) Cl2 + 2e- ------------ Cl-
4) 2Cl- ---------Cl2 + 2e-
reduction half-reaction general formula is
oxidant + e - or + -------- Product
so in our case the answer is
1) Na+ + e- -------------- Na (exactly balanced)
Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Atomic number is the sum of only total number of protons present in an element. Whereas mass number is the sum of total number of both protons and neutrons present in an element.
For example, given atom has mass number as 15 and its atomic number is 7.
Therefore, number of neutrons present in it will be calculated as follows.
Mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons
15 = 7 + no. of neutrons
no. of neutrons = 15 - 7
= 8
Thus, we can conclude that the given atom contains 8 neutrons in the nucleus.
