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.

Is cobalt 60 more dangerous than bananas ( potassium 40) and why ?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

To the best of my knowledge, it is because of the amount of gamma rays is given off.

Explanation:

While both are isotopes, Potassium 40 gives off fewer gamma rays compared to Cobalt 60. Potassium 40 isn't really harmful to humans, but Cobalt 60 (I believe) is used in chemotherapy.

Consider the water(H_2O) molecule. What is the central atom? Enter its chemical symbol. How many lone pairs are around the centr
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:oxygen is the central atom in water,it has two lone pairs of electrons, the bond angle is 104.27° The ideal H-O-H bond angle ought to have been 109.28°

Explanation:

The presence of lone pairs causes slight distortion in the bond angles of molecules. This distortion increases with the number of lone pairs present. Water has two lone pairs hence a greater distortion compared to ammonia.

If an element has 3 valance electrons what row is it in?
klemol [59]

It can be any row

Explanation:

An element with a valence electrons of 3 can be in any row on the periodic table.

The rows are the horizontal arrangement of elements on the periodic table.

Elements on the same row have the same energy level.

  • The periodic table rows are called periods.
  • It is only in the groups that we can find such element.
  • Group 3 elements have 3 valence electrons.
  • Since this group cuts through all the rows, therefore, elements with 3 valence electrons can be found in any row.

How many moles of Ca atoms are in 1 mol of CaSO4?
natima [27]

Hey there!

There is 1 mol of Ca atoms in 1 mol of CaSO₄

There is one atom of Ca in each molecule of CaSO₄, so in 6.022 x 10²³ molecules of CaSO⁴ there will be 6.022 x 10²³ atoms of Ca.

Hope this helps!
