If an element has 10 protons and 11 neutrons and 10 electrons, which expression correctly identifies the element? Atomic numbers

: Sodium is 11, Neon is 10
Chemistry
1 answer:
Bezzdna [24]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Firstly, it should be noted that atomic number (number of protons) determines element. And the element with the atomic number 10 (10 protons) is Neon. Hence, Neon-10 (₁₀Ne) is the answer.

Note that sodium has an atomic number of 11. Also, number of protons is usually equal to the number of electrons in neutral atoms, this is because the total number of positive particles (protons) must be equal to the total number of negative particles (electrons) to give a neutral atom.

Some atoms are exceptions to the octet rule by having an expanded octet. Which characteristic is needed for an atom to have an e
Len [333]

Answer: The correct option would be A.

Explanation: The main group elements which make more bonds than that was predicted from the octet rule are supposed to have expanded octet.

These elements tend to have more than 8 valence electrons after bonding and this can be achieved when we have empty d-orbitals.

When we have empty p-orbitals, total number of valence electrons than can be occupied will be 8.

Electronic configuration when valence shell's empty p-orbitals are fully filled = ns^2np^6

which means that a total of 8 electrons can be occupied which does not satisfy expanded octet rule.

Example of molecule showing expanded octet rule is given in the image. Here, after bonding Phosphorous has 10 electrons which is occupied in empty d-orbitals.

How is a battery and a banana the same when considering energy?
emmainna [20.7K]

A battery and a banana are the same when considering energy:

A battery when connected to a device produces electro-chemical reactions and contains one or more cells. The same thing can be tried out with fruits also. There are many fruits which can be taken into account. A lemon shows less amount of voltage when seen through a multimeter rather than a banana which shows a higher voltage. This was because of the acid present in the a fully ripped banana. The acid is called ascorbic acid. This acid has a higher pH level than compared to the pH of the citric acid found in lemon.  

This shows that a banana plant is not so expensive and reliable for the production of renewable energy and a battery is also inexpensive, reliable and stable.

Why does silicone dioxide have a high melting point ?
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Where SiO2 has strong covalent bonds between molecules, SO3 only has weak van der waals intermolecular forces holding its molecules together. Since covalent bonds require more energy to overcome than van der waals, SiO2 requires a higher temperature than SO3 to melt, thus SiO2 has a higher melting point.
