Answer:
protons: 36
neutrons:48
electrons:36
Explanation:
the number of protons in an element is = to the atomic # (36)
the number of neutrons is the atomic mass - atomic # (84-36=48)
In a neutral charged element the # of protons = # of electrons
Answer:
The corect answer is c) naturally occurring; solids
Explanation:
Minerals exists as solid substances in nature consisting of one or more element chemically combined together formiming compounds with definite composition. As mentioned earlier single elements can form minerals and examples of single element mineral are Silver, Carbon and Gold which are found in nature in their pure form and are mined.
Minerals are normally found in rocks, which may contain one ore more different types of minerals
Answer:
no, volume isn't conserved
Parantheses mean present of a subgroup or a group of polyatomic ions in a chemical reaction.
<u>Explanation:</u>
In a chemical reaction, sometimes, a compound may be composed of group of polyatomic ions with other ions. Some of the polyatomic ions are sulfate, carbonate, nitrate, hydroxide, bicarbonate, ammonia etc.
So these polyatomic ions are formed by combining two or more elements. Thus, if the number of polyatomic ions in a compound is more than one, then we use parathesis and write those polyatomic ions in it and write the number of polyatomic ions present in the compound as subscript of the parathesis.
For example, Fe₂(SO₄)₃
So here SO₄ is a polyatomic ion and in the compound 3 atoms of SO₄ is required to neutralize the compound and thus paranthesis is used. Thus, parantheses mean present of a subgroup or a group of polyatomic ions in a chemical reaction.
