Answer:

5

Explanation:

A lithium atom with an atomic number of 3 and a charge of -2 will have a total number of electrons.

The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. For a neutral atom that has not gained or lost electrons, the atomic number is the same as the number of electrons.

   neutral atom: atomic number of electrons

For neutral atom of lithium, we will have 3 electrons

Now, lithium with a charge of -2 has gained two more electrons to the original 3 this now makes it 5.

ii.

It is an anion because it is negatively charged.

Negatively charged particles are called anion.

Answer:

An atom is made of up subatomic particles called protons, neutrons and electrons. The center of an atom is called the nucleus and is where the protons and neutrons are held while electrons orbit the nucleus in orbital shells. A electron has a negative charge, a proton has a positive charge, and a neutron has no charge (neutral).

The atomic number of a atom is the total amount of the atom's protons. In a neutral atom (Not an ion), the amount of electrons is the same as the protons. Therefore, the atomic number also tells the amount of electrons in the atom.

A ion is a negatively or positively charged particle due to the giving or taking of electrons with one or more atoms (Called an ionic bond). An atom that gives away electrons becomes positively charge because that atom now has more protons than neutrons. An atom that takes an electron becomes negatively charge because that atom now has more electrons than protons.

Atomic Mass is the sum of an atom proton and neutrons. To determine how many neutron an atom has, subtract the atomic mass from the atomic number. Electrons do not play a part in atomic mass as their mass is  1/1,836 of a proton's mass.

A isotope is two or more forms of the same element that contain equal amounts of protons but different amount of neutrons.

A sample of 28 Mg decays initially at a rate of 53500 disintegrations per minute, but the decay rate falls to 10980 disintegrati
prisoha [69]

Answer : The half life of 28-Mg in hours is, 6.94

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the rate constant.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = time passed by the sample = 48.0 hr

a = initial amount of the reactant disintegrate = 53500

a - x = amount left after decay process disintegrate = 53500 - 10980 = 42520

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

k=\frac{2.303}{48.0}\log\frac{53500}{42520}

k=9.98\times 10^{-2}hr^{-1}

Now we have to calculate the half-life.

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

9.98\times 10^{-2}=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

t_{1/2}=6.94hr

Therefore, the half life of 28-Mg in hours is, 6.94

Balance the equation and determine how many liter of nitrogen are required to react with 7.3 L of hydrogen to produce ammonia (n
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

4.867 L of ammonia

Explanation:

Using Haber's process to form ammonia using Nitrogen and hydrogen, the equation is :

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

Here, 3 moles of hydrogen gas gives 2 moles of ammonia.

1 mole of any substance occupies 22.4L at STP

So, 3 x 22.4L of hydrogen gives 2 x 22.4 L of ammonia

Then 7.3 L of hydrogen will give:

=\frac{7.3 \times 2 \times22.4 }{3 \times22.4}

=\frac{7.3 \times 2}{3}

= 4.867 L of ammonia

The table above shows the speed of sound through different materials. About how far can sound travel in air in 2.38 s if the air
kozerog [31]

(4) 615 m

Explanation:

From the table we see that the speed of sound in air at 20 °C is 343 m/s. Knowing this we devise the following reasoning:

if the sound travel through the air       343 meters in 1 second

then the sound travel through the air X  meters in 2.38 seconds

X = (2.38 × 343) / 1 = 816.35 meters
