The mass would be 28. The mass of an atom equals the number of neutrons and protons added together. In this case, they do not say the protons. But we must use our inside knowledge to know that the number of protons equals the number of electrons. Thus, your number of protons would be 13
Answer:
Hello - this is Mrs. Gussman, your chemistry teacher. I wrote this exam question and posting it online is a violation of the academic integrity policy. Remove this post immediately.
Explanation:
The answer would be B) Lower, because pure water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit whereas salt water freezes at 28.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Hopefully this helps!
There are certain rules to follow when naming covalent compounds. But first, let us look at the definition of Covalent Compounds.
<h3>
What are Covalent Compounds?</h3>
When covalent bonds aid the creation of a molecule, in which the atoms have at least one similar pair of valence electrons, a covalent compound is said to have been formed.
A very common example is water (H₂O)
<h3>
How are Covalent Compounds named?</h3>
To name a covalent compound, simply list the first element in the formula using the name of the element, then name the second element by adding the suffix "ide" to the stem of the second element's name.
If there is only one atom in the molecule of the first element, then no prefix should be added.
It is to be noted that if the second element in the compound is oxygen, then we should say:
- monox<em>ide</em> instead of monoox<em>ide</em> and
- triox<em>ide</em> instead of trox<em>ide</em>, all depending on how many atoms that are involved.
See the attached for the prefixes related to the various number of atoms in the compounds.
It is to be noted that the covalent compound to be named here is not stated hence the general answer.
