Molar mass Na = 23g/mol
46g = 456/2 = 2mol
1mol = 6.022*10^23 atoms
2mol = 2*6.022*10623
= 1.204*10^24 atoms
The chemical formula of sodium hydroxide is NaOH, and its molar mass is 40.01 g/mol. It is the alkali salt of sodium, and its structure is shown below:
It is an ionic compound consisting of sodium cation (Na+) and hydroxide (OH-) anion.
Answer:
If it loses 2 electrons, the net charge on the atom will be 2+
If the atom instead gains 4 electrons, the net charge will be 4-
Explanation:
It is based on adding and subtracting charges. Protons are +1 and electrons are -1
If the atom has 9 protons and 9 electrons, the net charge is +9 + (-9) = 0. The +9 is the 9 protons and the -9 is from the 9 electrons.
If two electrons are taken away, there would be 9-2 or 7 electrons with 9 protons. The net charge would then be +9 + (-7) = +2. +9 comes from the 9 electrons and -7 is from the 7 electrons.
So, if two electrons are taken away, the net charge is +2.
Similarly, if the atom gains 4 electrons, there will be 9+4 or 12 electrons and 9 protons. The net charge would then be +9 + (-12) = -4. +9 comes from the 9 protons and -12 comes from the 12 electrons.
So, if 4 electrons are added, the net charge is -4.
Answer: 1) p⁺ = 22; number of protons.
e⁻ = 19 - 1 = 18; number of electrons.
Net charge is +4, because atom has 4 protons more than electrons.
Proton is a subatomic particle with a positive electric charge of +1e elementary charge.
2) p⁺ = 22; number of protons.
e⁻ = 19 + 3 = 22; number of electrons.
Net charge is 0 (neutral charge), because atom has same number of protons and electrons.
Hope this helps :)
