Answer:

a.

P = 3 , N = 4

b.

P = 8 , N = 8

c.

P = 90 , N = 142

d.

P = 94 , N = 145

Explanation:

Mass number  = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Also,

Atomic number = Number of protons

<u>Li - 7</u>

Given, Mass number of Lithium = 7

For lithium, atomic number = 3

So,

Number of protons = 3

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 7 - 3 = 4

<u>O - 16</u>

Given, Mass number of oxygen = 16

For oxygen, atomic number = 8

So,

Number of protons = 8

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 16 - 8 = 8

<u>Th - 232</u>

Given, Mass number of Thorium = 232

For Thorium, atomic number = 90

So,

Number of protons = 90

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 232 - 90 = 142

<u>Pu - 239</u>

Given, Mass number of Plutonium = 239

For Plutonium, atomic number = 94

So,

Number of protons = 94

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 239 - 94 = 145

When two atoms form a covalent bond, they share electrons from all of their orbitals. All of their orbitals, in turn, combine to
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

It's false.

Explanation:

Molecular orbital theory states that the number of molecular orbitals is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that overlap. The lowest energy molecular orbital is formed when two atomic orbitals that are in phase overlap, forming a bonding molecular orbital. However, another molecular orbital is also formed, called an anti-binding orbital.

So if an "n" quantity of atomic orbitals is combined, an "n" quantity of molecular orbitals is formed.

Describe how to separate a mixture of sugar and water.
Nonamiya [84]
Let the water evaporate and you'll be left with the sugar, or boil the water and collect the steam. the sugar will be left in the container you boiled the water in and you'll still have the water from the steam.

Which will have the lowest boiling point?
In-s [12.5K]

Some of the solutions exhibit colligative properties. These properties depend on the amount of

solute dissolved in a solvent. These properties include freezing point depression, boiling

point elevation, osmotic pressure and vapor pressure lowering. From the given choices, the correct answer is the first option. Pure water will have the lowest boiling point because there are no solute particles to change the boiling point of water while other options will have an elevated boiling point because of the solute.
