1) The nucleus of an atom loses 2 protons and 4 neutrons.
2) The nucleus of an atom gains a proton and it's neutrons remain the same.
Answer:
[Ne] 2s2 2p3
Explanation:
Phosphorus will most likely have an ion that will be 3- because it wants to have a full outer shell. Thus, the elctron configuration is: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3.
Answer:
The value of an integer x in the hydrate is 10.
Explanation:

Molarity of the solution = 0.0366 M
Volume of the solution = 5.00 L
Moles of hydrated sodium carbonate = n


Mass of hydrated sodium carbonate = n= 52.2 g
Molar mass of hydrated sodium carbonate = 106 g/mol+x18 g/mol



Solving for x, we get:
x = 9.95 ≈ 10
The value of an integer x in the hydrate is 10.
