The atomic number (Z) of the 3 elements F, Ne, and Na, are 9, 10, and 11.
Explanation:
Now Z refers to the number of protons in the element's nucleus, and protons are POSITIVELY charged particles. So a fluoride ion, F−, has 10 electrons rather than 9 (why?), a neutral neon atom has 10 electrons, and a sodium ion, Na+, also has 10 electrons (why?).
So the 3 species are ISOELECTRONIC; they possess the same number of electrons.
You should look at the Periodic Table to confirm the electron number. Elements are (usually) electrically neutral (sometimes they can be ionic if they have lost or gained electrons). If there are 10 positively charged protons in the nucleus, there are NECESSARILY 10 electrons associated with the NEUTRAL atom. I don't know WHY I am capitalizing certain WORDS.
You might ask why sodium will form a positive ion, Na+, whereas F forms a negative ion, F−. This again is a Periodic phenomenon, and explicable on the basis of the electronic structure that the Table formalizes.
Neutral metals tend to be electron-rich species, which have 1 or more electrons in a valence shell remote from the nuclear charge. On the other hand, neutral non-metals have valence electrons in incomplete shells, that do not effectively shield the nuclear charge. The demonstrable consequence is that metals lose electrons to form positive ions, whereas non-metals gain electrons to form negative ions.

<u>61.25 grams</u> of CO can be formed from 35 grams of oxygen.
The molecular mass of oxygen is <u>16 gmol⁻¹</u>
The molecular mass of carbon monoxide is<u> 28 gmol⁻¹</u>
Explanation:
The molar mass of carbon monoxide is molar mass of C added to that of O;
12 + 16 = 28
= 28g/mol
The molar mass of oxygen is 16 g/mol while that of oxygen gas (O₂) is 32 g/mol
Since the ration oxygen to carbon monoxide is 1: 2 moles, we begin to find out how many moles of carbon monoxide are formed by 35 g of oxygen;
35/32 * 2
= 70/32 moles
Then multiply by the molar mass of carbon monoxide;
70/32 * 28
= 61.25 g
