Explain how to use the periodic table to deduce the number of protons, neutrons and electrons of an atom of a specific element

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ksju [112]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The periodic table shows the atomic number and mass number of each element.

We know that the atomic number shows;

  1. The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom
  2. The number of electrons in the neutral atom of the element.

So we obtain the number of protons and electrons by looking at the atomic number shown in the periodic table.

We also know that;

Mass number = Number of protons + number of neutrons

Since number of protons = atomic number of the atom

Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number

Hence we obtain the number of protons by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number given in the periodic table.

Why do water molecules and the materials dissolved in water move through the plasma membrane slowly ?
garik1379 [7]

Nonpolar and small polar molecules can pass through the cell membrane, so they diffuse across it in response to concentration gradients. Carbon dioxide and oxygen are two molecules that undergo this simple diffusion through the membrane. The simple diffusion of water is known as osmosis.

How many electrons in the same atom can share the quantum number n = 2?
melisa1 [442]
With the principle quantum number being 2, the maximum number that can share this is 8. You can use the general formula 2n^2 to calculate this number (n=quantum level), or you can use the concept of quantum numbers (n, l, m, s) to justify this answer.
