How many electrons does an element have if its atomic number is 20

Chemistry
1 answer:
olga55 [171]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

20 electrons

A neutral atom with atomic number 20 will have 20 electrons.

The atomic number is, by definiton, the number of protons in an atom's nucleus but for a neutral atom it's also equal to the number of electrons. Each element has a different, unique number of protons that determines its identity.

describe how a pure dry sample of solid lead carbonate can be obtained from sodium carbonate solution and lead nitrate solution
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Soluble salts can be made by reacting acids with soluble or insoluble reactants. Titration must be used if the reactants are soluble. Insoluble salts are made by precipitation reactions.

Making insoluble salts

An insoluble salt can be prepared by reacting two suitable solutions together to form a precipitate.

Determining suitable solutions

All nitrates and all sodium salts are soluble. This means a given precipitate XY can be produced by mixing together solutions of:

X nitrate

sodium Y

For example, to prepare a precipitate of calcium carbonate:

X = calcium and Y = carbonate

mix calcium nitrate solution and sodium carbonate solution together

calcium nitrate + sodium carbonate → sodium nitrate + calcium carbonate

Ca(NO3)2(aq) + Na2CO3(aq) → 2NaNO3(aq) + CaCO3(s)

It also works if potassium carbonate solution or ammonium carbonate solution is used instead of sodium carbonate solution. Remember that all common potassium and ammonium salts are soluble.
