Answer:
nickel
It also tells you the number of electrons that the element has in its outside shells. If the atomic number of nickel is 28 then every atom of nickel has 28 protons in its nucleus and 28 electrons outside the nucleus.
Explanation:
Answer:
A.All Mixtures Are Made Up Of Solutions
Explanation:
Answer:
11 electrons total and 23amu
Explanation:
This tells us that sodium has 11 protons and because it is neutral it has 11 electrons. The mass number of an element tells us the number of protons AND neutrons in an atom (the two particles that have a measurable mass). Sodium has a mass number of 23amu.
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components making up a compound.
The percentage composition of each element has been given
therefore the mass present of each element in 100 g of compound is
B N H
mass 40.28 g 52.20 g 7.53 g
number of moles
40.28 g / 11 g/mol 52.20 g / 14 g/mol 7.53 g / 1 g/mol
= 3.662 mol = 3.729 mol = 7.53 mol
divide the number of moles by the least number of moles, that is 3.662
3.662 / 3.662 3.729 / 3.662 7.53 / 3.662
= 1.000 = 1.018 = 2.056
the ratio of the elements after rounding off to the nearest whole number is
B : N : H = 1 : 1 : 2
therefore empirical formula for the compound is B₁N₁H₂
that can be written as BNH₂
