How can you determine the number of protons and neutrons in an isotope when given the symbol and mass number?

1 answer:

7 0

When given the symbol, you can look on the periodic table of elements to find what the atomic number is, which is the number in the corner next to the symbol. The number of protons in the element is the atomic number. The number of neutrons is the mass number minus the number of protons.
Hope it helps:)

Does anyone know what Hydrogen's oxidation state would be if it was acting as an anion non-metal?

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

yeah,The oxidation state of an atom does not represent the "real" charge on that atom, or any other actual atomic property.Hydrogen has OS = +1, but adopts −1 when bonded as a hydride to metals or metalloids. Oxygen in compounds has OS = −2. This set of postulates covers .

Please check this for me?

The answer is
<span>2PbS(s) + 3O2(g) = 2PbO(s) + 2SO2(g)

Your answer is not yet balanced because you have 3 oxygen atoms. it should be balanced by multiplying both side by 2 such as the balanced equation I made. To check it, I will explain why your answer is not yet balanced.

check: (from your equation)
</span> 1-Pb-1
1-S-1
2 -O-3
the difference between the reactant and the product of Oxygen will prove that it is not yet balanced.

If you use 2PbS(s) + 3O2(g) = 2PbO(s) + 2SO2(g), to check it:
2-Pb-2
2-S-2
6 -O-6
then this is now balance

Let’s say you have 3 UV active spots in the crude material and co-spot TLC plate. One has the same Rf value as the starting mate

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Answer: (1R,2S) / (1S, 2R) , (1R,2R) / (1S, 2S)

Explanation:

Sodium borohydride reduction of benzoin will give four possible stereo isomers out of which are (1R,2S) - (1S, 2R) isomers and (1R,2R) - (1S, 2S) isomers which are known as enantiomers.

In general enantiomers show single spot in the TLC as they do not show any difference in Rf value (i.e) (1R,2S) - (1S, 2R) isomers show only one spot although they are two compounds and also (1R,2R) - (1S, 2S) isomers also show one spot. That is the reason why you are observing two spots in the TLC ( of reaction mixture) other than starting materilal.
