Answer: The atoms of the solid products are tightly packed whereas those in gas are loose.
Explanation:
Atoms in the solid structure are linked to each other by strong force of attraction and they collectively form an three-dimensional structure. The binding of the atoms form the shape of the solid product. The gas exhibit free atoms in it. The atoms are not linked to one another by strong force of attraction. The atoms as a part of gas have higher energy as those present in the solid products. So, the atoms of the gas wander freely as compared to those in the solid products.
Atomic number (Z) of tungsten is 74
Mass number (A) of tungsten is 184
Now:
Atomic number of an element = Number of protons = Number of electrons
Mass number = Number of Protons + Number of neutrons
In the case of tungsten
Total Number of electrons = 74
Jeffrey has already added 21 electrons
Number of electrons needed = 74 - 21 = 53
Ans (D) 53 more electrons are needed to complete the neutral atom of tungsten.
