If a neutral atom has 24 electrons and 26 neutrons how many protons does it have?​

Chemistry

Answer:

24

Explanation:

The number of protons in the atom of the neutral element will also be 24.

Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom.

Electrons are the negatively charged particles

Neutrons do not carry any charges at all

Now, in a neutral atom, the charge is balanced and the number of protons and electrons are the same in the atom.

So, since we have been given that the atom has 24 electrons, the number of protons will be 24.

HELP PLEASE! <br> Picture for question provided
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Explanation:

The first one is CrO.  The Chromium has the same charge as the oxygen so mol numbers are dropped.

The Second one is CrO2 The two oxygens have a charge of 2(-2) = -4. To balance this, the Chromium must have a charge of +4 Cr(Iv)O2

The third one is can be set up like this

Cr + 3(-2) = 0

Cr - 6 = 0

Cr = 6

Therefore the formula is Cr(vi)O3

The last one is a bit tricky. Follow this carefully. There are 2 Crs and 3Os.

The formula looks like this

2Cr + 3(-2) = 0

2Cr - 6 = 0

2Cr = 6

Cr = 3

The formula is Cr(iii)2 O3

Which of the following statements is incorrect? A. Molecular mass is expressed in atomic mass units. B. Formula mass compares th
n200080 [17]

Answer:

  • The incorrect statement is the choice <em>C. Atomic mass has units of grams per atom.</em>

Explanation:

<u>1) Choice A.</u><em><u> Molecular mass is expressed in atomic mass units</u></em><u>.</u>

Correct. Atomic mass units (a.m.u) is the standard unit used to express the mass of the atoms and the molecules.

Since, one atom, molecule, or formula unit is a tiny amount of material, it has a ver, very low mass, and the unit mass of a molecule is referred to one mole (6.022 × 10²³ units).

<u>2) Choice B. </u><em><u>Formula mass compares the mass of one formula unit of a substance to the mass of one atom of carbon-12</u></em><u>.</u>

Correct. The masses of atoms and compounds are referred to a standard. Such standard is the carbon-12 atom. This is, the cabon-12 atom was selected as the standard and its exact mass is 12 a.m.u.

<u>3)  Choice C. </u><em><u>Atomic mass has units of grams per atom.</u></em><u> </u>

Incorrect. Atomic mass is the mass of the atoms, but, since, the mass of one atom is so small, the atomic mass is referred to one mole. Hence, the atomic mass has units of grams per mole.

<u>4) Choice D. </u><em><u>Both molecular mass and formula mass use carbon-12 as a reference standard.</u></em>

Correct. As stated when explaining the option B, the mass of atoms, molecules, and formula units are referred to carbon-12 standard.

<u>5) Choice E. S</u><em><u>odium chloride, an ionic compound, is said to have a formula weight, but not a molecular weight.</u></em>

Correct. The reason is that ionic compounds form large structures (crystals) and, since there is not such thing as one molecule of them, they are said to have formula weight (or mass) but not a molecular weight.

The name molecules is reserved for covalent compounds, where you can formally identify molecules. E.g. Water is a molecular compound, and each molecule has molecular formula H₂O, whose mass is the molecular mass.
