Helium - 4 isotope has 2 protons and 2 neutrons.
Its atomic number is 2 (the number of protons). Atomic number is the number of protons in the atom of an element and it identifies the element. All the isotopes of an element have the same atomic number (same number of protons). So, all the isotopes of hellium have 2 protons.
The number 4 that identifies the helium - 4 isotope is the mass number, i.e. the number of protons plus the number of neutron. So, helium-4 isotope has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. While, other isotopes of helium have 2 protons but different number of neutrons.
The atomic number enable us to deduce the number of electrons in an atom because the atoms are neutral, which implies that the positive and negative charge are equal. Given that the magnitude of the charge of electons and protons are equal but the sign is opposed (protons are positve and electrons are negative) the number of electrons in the atom equals the number of protonts. That is why the atomic number is also the number of electrons of the atom.
<h2>Double displacement reaction:</h2>
A double displacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two compounds react, and positive ions (cation) and the negative ions (anion) of the two reactants switch places, forming two new compounds or products.

Na2S+2HCl→2NaCl+H2S

Answer:
NaHCO3 + HCl ——-> NaCl + H2O + CO2
Explanation:
A neutralization reaction is a chemical reaction between an alkali and an acid to give salt and water as the product.
In the case of carbonates and bicarbonates, an additional product is added. This additional product is carbon iv oxide.
Hence a neutralization reaction involving an acid and a carbonate or bicarbonate would yield water, carbon iv oxide and a salt as the product.
When brioschi reacts with hydrochloric acid, the products are sodium chloride, water and carbon iv oxide.
The equation of the reaction is shown below:
NaHCO3 + HCl ——> NaCl + H2O + CO2
