Answer: One formula unit of NaCl consists of one cation, whose chemical symbol is Na^+ and one anion whose chemical symbol is Cl^-

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.  

The cation is formed by the metal sodium which forms  Na^+ and the anion is formed by non metal chlorine which forms Cl^-.

For a formula unit of sodium chloride,  the charges have to be balanced , thus the valencies of ions are exchanged and the neutral compound result. Thus

Na^+ and  Cl^- combine to form neutral NaCl

Vanadium has an atomic mass of 50.9415 amu. It has two common isotopes. One isotope has a mass of 50.9440 amu and a relative abu
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Average atomic mass of the  vanadium = 50.9415 amu

Isotope (I) of vanadium' s abundance = 99.75 %= 0.9975

Atomic mass of Isotope (I) of vanadium ,m= 50.9440 amu

Isotope (II) of vanadium' s abundance =(100%- 99.75 %) = 0.25 % = 0.0025

Atomic mass of Isotope (II) of vanadium ,m' = ?

Average atomic mass of vanadium =

m × abundance of isotope(I) + m' × abundance of isotope (II)

50.9415 amu =50.9440 amu× 0.9975 + m' × 0.0025

m'= 49.944 amu

Air pressure is lowest in the lungs during whi h of the following points during inspiration or expiration
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Inspiration

Explanation:

This question is on application of Boyle's law; <u>pressure is inversely proportional to volume</u>.when we inhale air, the diaphragm and the muscles in the ribs contract thus increasing the volume in the lungs.Increased volume of the lungs cause the pressure to decrease.During exhaling, the diaphragm and muscles in the ribs relax, making the lungs to recoil and reduce in volume to force air out.Pressure in the lungs is increased than that in the environment making air to move out.

quizlet nitrogen can have variable number of nuetrons(isotopes) it can also have varible number of electrons ehile becomon an io
mafiozo [28]

Nitrogen has 7 protons, 7 neutrons, and 7 electrons.

Seven protons, seven neutrons, and seven electrons make up nitrogen-14.

Utilize the atomic number and mass number of an atom to determine the number of subatomic particles it contains: Atomic number Equals proton count. Electron count equals atomic number. Atomic number - mass number equals the number of neutrons.

Seven protons, seven neutrons, and seven electrons make up the atom of nitrogen. The nucleus is the collection of protons and neutrons that make up the center of an atom. The 7 electrons, which are much smaller than the nucleus, orbit it in what is known as orbits. Since nitrogen-14 is a neutral atom, the number of protons in its nucleus must match the number of electrons around it.
