Mass number= atomic number + number of neutrons.
A=Z+N
Z=number of protons=12
N=12
A=12+12=24
If, we have 12 protons and 10 electrons, the charge of this ion is +2
Therefore: mass number:24; charge: +2
Answer: a. mass number: 24; charge: +2
<span>The
bent geometry of the water molecule gives a slight overall negative
charge to the oxygen side of the molecule and a slight overall positive
charge to the hydrogen side of the molecule. This slight separation of
charges gives the entire molecule an electrical polarity, so water
molecules are dipolar.</span>
Answer:
C = (5/9) F - (160/9)
They both read equal at Z = - 40
Explanation:
We are looking for a linear function so we can write the following condition
Y = aX + b
Applying it to the exercise we got C = a F + b
Let's use the facts that C = 0 when F = 32 and C = 100 when F = 212
0 = 32 a + b (1)
100 = 212 a + b (2)
From (1) b = - 32 a , when we replace this in (2) we obtain a = (5/9)
and b = - (5/9)32 = - 160/9
Finally the linear function is C = (5/9) F - (160/9)
Both readings are equal at a Z number so
Z = (5/9) Z - 160/9
(4/9) Z = -160/9 and Z = - 40
Atomic mass is the total mass of neutrons and protons in a certain isotope. It is usually called: AMU or atomic mass unit.
