The answer is C : Radioactive dating. I know this because radioactive dating is done by examining the atomic particles found in an object. The atomic particles decay over time at a predictable rate. Scientists are able to measure the rate of decay to establish the age of the fossil, organism, and/or material.
Answer:
B: +3
Explanation:
If Gallium loses 3 electrons, it will become an ion.
The ion will be positively charged because in this new ion, the number of electrons is lesser than the number of protons. The charge difference will impart a positive net charge on the ion.
- In a neutral atom, the number of electrons and protons are the same.
- For positively charged ions, the number of protons is greater than the electrons
If Gallium the loss of 3 electrons offsets the charge balance in the chemical specie. Thus, the ion will have a net +3 charge.
Answer:
Empirical formula is PNCl₂
Explanation:
Percent composition means that 100 g of compound has x g of each element.
In 100 g of compound x, we have 26.73 g of P, 12.09 g of N, 61.18 g of Cl.
So, let's make some rules of three:
In 100 g of compound we have 26.73 g of P, 12.09 g of N, 61.18 g of Cl
In 579.43 g of compound we have:
(579.43 . 26.73) / 100 = 155 g of P
(579.43 . 12.09) / 100 = 70 g of N
(579.43 . 61.18) / 100 = 354 g of Cl
Let's convert the mass of the elements in moles.
155 g of P / 30.97 g/mol = 5 P
70 g / 14 g/mol = 5 N
354 g / 35.45 g/mol = 10 Cl
