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

The mobile electrons of a pure metal are <br> called what
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

This means that the metal is more properly viewed as an array of positive ions surrounded by a “sea of mobile valence electrons.” Electrons which are capable of moving freely throughout the empty orbitals of the metallic crystal are called delocalized electrons (Figure below).

What is the covalent<br> bonding of calcium chloride​
algol13

Answer:

<u>Calcium chloride does not have a covalent bond , it is an ionic bond (which means donation of electrons takes place )</u>. The charge of calcium ions is +2, while the charge of sodium ions is -1. The molecule of calcium chloride contains one calcium ion (+2) and two chloride ions (-1), resulting in an overall charge of 0, or neutral.

<u>IONIC BONDING IN CALCIUM CHLORIDE</u> (CaCl_2)

Electron sharing produces covalent compounds, while electron donation produces ionic compounds. CaCl_2 is a salt with an ionic bond. This is because calcium takes up an electron to each of the chlorine atoms, resulting in Ca^2^+ions for calcium andCl^- ions for chlorine. At room temperature, it behaves like a normal ionic halide and is solid. Calcium is a metal with a non-metal sulphate bond.

<u>Thus , Calcium chloride have ionic bonds present on them . No covalent bonds takes place in calcium chloride.</u>
