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.

In the simple act of lighting a match, chemical energy stored in the match head is transformed into heat and light. What is true
harina [27]

The head of a matchstick has a great deal of chemical energy stored in it, including combustible substances that produce a flame when rubbed against a suitable surface. ... As the combustible materials burn, some of the chemical energy is transformed into heat energy, and some is transformed into light energy. Hope this helps

How many atoms are in 10.1 g Ne
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

3.01 × 10²³ atoms Ne

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Tables
  • Moles

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

  • Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

[Given] 10.1 g Ne

[Solve] atoms Ne

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

[PT] Molar Mass of Ne: 20.18 g/mol\

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. [DA] Set up:                                                                                                       \displaystyle 10.1 \ g \ Ne(\frac{1 \ mol \ Ne}{20.18 \ g \ Ne})(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ atoms \ Ne}{1 \ mol \ Ne})
  2. [DA] Divide/Multiply [Cancel out units]:                                                          \displaystyle 3.01398 \cdot 10^{23} \ atoms \ Ne

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

3.01398 × 10²³ atoms Ne ≈ 3.01 × 10²³ atoms Ne

1.5 moles are present in 60.0 grams of calcium.
Andrew [12]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

To know which option is correct, let us calculate the number of mole present in 60g of calcium. This is illustrated below:

Mass of Ca = 60g

Molar Mass of Ca = 40g/mol

Number of mole Ca =....?

Number of mole = Mass/Molar Mass

Number of mole of Ca = 60/40

Number of mole Ca = 1.5 moles.

From the calculations made above, we can see that 1.5 moles are present in 60.0 grams of calcium
