The periodic table of elements is divided into columns and rows. The vertical columns represent the groups while the horizontal rows represent the periods. A group of elements usually have similar physical and chemical properties. The first column of the periodic table is made up of 7 elements including SODIUM.
1. The name of the element chosen is sodium and its chemical symbol is Na.
2. Sodium is a metal and thus it has metallic properties.
3. Sodium belongs to group one elements whose family name is ALKALI METALS.
4. The neutral atom of sodium is made up of 11 protons, 11 electrons and 12 neutrons.
Mass number = protons + neutrons. 12 + 11 = 23.
Answer:
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since the rms speed of the molecules is computed by:
Whereas the absolute temperature is computed from the internal energy (by using the Cp of helium (3.1156 J/g*K) as shown below:
Thereby, the rms speed results:
Regards.
Neutral atoms of each element contain an equal number of protons and electrons. The number of protons determines an element's atomic number and is used to distinguish one element from another. Together, the number of protons and the number of neutrons determine an element's mass number.
In some parts of the galaxy, electrons in hot hydrogen gas may be excited to very high quantum levels. Calculate the wavelength of light that would be emitted if electrons moved from the ð‘›=10 shell to the ð‘›=2 shell λ=___nm
