Answer: D (8)

Explanation:

Answer:

d. 8

Explanation:

The octet rule refers to the tendency of atoms to prefer to have eight electrons in the valence shell. When atoms have fewer than eight electrons, they tend to react and form more stable compounds.

Law of Conservation of Mass in terms of atoms
VARVARA [1.3K]

No atoms are lost or made during the chemical reaction so the total mass of the products is equal to the total mass of the reactants. In an atom, protons and neutrons contribute to the mass and since the number of them doesn’t change, the mass doesn’t either.

An atom or ion has 41 neutrons, 36 protons, and 36 electrons. Identify the element symbol, and determine the mass number
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Element symbol: Kr.

Mass number: 77.

Charge : 0.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since such substance has the same amount of protons and electrons we can infer it is an atom whose number of neutrons is defined by considering its atomic mass or mass number and atomic number which is actually equal to the number of protons and electrons (36):

neutrons=atomic\ mass - atomic\ number

In such a way, solving for the atomic mass we obtain:

atomic\ mass=neutrons+ atomic\ number\\\\atomic\ mass=41+36=77

It means that the element is krypton (Kr) as it has 36 electrons and protons so its charge is 0.

Best regards.
