Answer:

atomic mass= 33

Charge= -2

Explanation:

In an atom, are contained three SUBATOMIC particles viz: proton and neutron found in the nucleus, electrons surrounding the nucleus. Protons contain the positive charge of an atom while electrons contain the negative charge of an atom. The number of protons and electrons in an atom determines the charge of an ion (charged atom). Also, the atomic mass or mass number of that atom is got by adding the number of protons + number of neutrons.

In this case where the number of protons and number of neutrons are 16 and 17 respectively, the mass no. or atomic mass is 17 + 16 = 33.

Also, since two electrons are gained by this atom, it means the electron numbe, which is normally equal to the proton number in a neutral atom, will be increased by 2. Hence, the electron number will be 18 in this case.

The charge of the atom= no. of protons - no. of electrons = 16 - 18 = -2.

Calculate the mass percent by volume of 330.1 g of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆, MM = 180.2 g/mol) in 325 mL of solution.
nadezda [96]

Answer: The mass percent by volume is 101.6%

Explanation:

The solution concentration expressed in percent by volume means that the amount of solute present in 100 parts volume of solution.

It is represented in formula as :

mass percent by volume =\frac{\text {mass of solute}\times 100}{\text {Volume of solution in ml}}\%

Given : mass of glucose = 330.1 g

volume of solution = 325 ml

Thus mass percent by volume =\frac{330.1g\times 100}{325ml}=101.6\%

Thus the mass percent by volume is 101.6%

Different elements are most likely to react in similar ways when they
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Belong to the same group.

Explanation:

Different elements are most likely to react in similar ways when they belong to the same group.

This is because the elements in the same group always have similar number of valence electrons which implies that they all have the same number of electrons in their outermost shell. For example,barium (Ba), beryllium (Be), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), radium (Ra), strontium (Sr) all have 2 electrons in their outermost shell and thus they belong to group 2 of elements which are known as Alkaline earth metals and they all tend to react in the same manner with other substances
