Answer:

72 protons

102 neutrons

72 electrons

Explanation:

Hf has an atomic number of 72. By definition, this means that it has 72 protons.

It also has a mass number of 178. The mass number (A) counts all elements with significant mass (protons and neutrons). Then,

A = p⁺ + n⁰

n⁰ = A - p⁺ = 178 - 72 = 102

Hf has 102 neutrons.

Elemental Hafnium is electrically neutral because it has the same amount of  positive charges (protons) and negative charges (electrons). Then, it must have 72 electrons.

Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of copper(II) sulfate and concentrated ammonia to produce teramine copper(II
Rudiy27

Answer:

CuSO4(aq) + 4NH3(aq) + nH2O→ [Cu(NH3)4H2On]S04(aq)

Explanation:

When the concentrated ammonia is added into the copper ions solution, a blue solid is formed. This blue solid is gelatinous.it consist of Cu(OH)2 in insoluble form. As more ammonia is added precipitate start to dissolve and [Cu(NH3)4]∧+2 is produce.

Net Ionic equation:

Cu∧+2 +4NH3 →  [Cu(NH3)4]∧+2

S04∧-2 are spectator ions.

Properties and uses of Tetraaminecopper(ll) sulfate:

1. It is solid compound.

2. Its color is dark blue.

3. It has ammonia like odor.

4. It is used to make the copper compounds and also used in the printing of fabric.

5. It is also used as pesticide.

What is ejected from the nucleus during alpha decay?
Aloiza [94]
Hi

Alpha decay is a type of radioactive decay.
So, when Alpha decay goes through a process called "radioactive process", two neutrons and two protons comes together and is ejected from the nucleus of a radioactive atom.

Hope this helped :)
