The mass number for an atom is numerically equal to which quantity

Chemistry
1 answer:
Misha Larkins [42]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The mass number of an atom is equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons that it contains. In other words, the number of neutrons in an atom is its mass number minus its atomic number.

Explanation:

protons

The mass number of an atom is its total number of protons and neutrons. Atoms of different elements usually have different mass numbers , but they can be the same. For example, the mass number of argon atoms and calcium atoms can both be 40.

Which of the metals below will dissolve in hydrochloric acid, HCl? gold, Au copper, Cu silver, Ag magnesium, Mg
Lera25 [3.4K]
Magnesium (Mg)

The reason for this is the reactivity of the listed metals. Gold and silver are extremely unreactive metals. It is because of this unreactive nature that they remain in good condition for long periods of time, and are preferred in jewelry. Copper, although more reactive than gold and silver, is still not reactive enough to react with HCl. 
The only metal that will react is magnesium.

How many molecules of dinitrogen pentoxide are in 0.27 moles of dinitrogen<br>pentoxide?​
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

1.6 × 10²³ molecules of N2O5

Explanation:

To find the amount of molecules from the amount of moles of a substance we simply multiply the amount of moles by Avagadro's number.

0.27mol × 6.02×10²³ = 1.6 × 10²³ molecules of N2O5

Which element has an outer(ending) electron configuration of s2p4?
goblinko [34]

The question is in complete, the complete question is:

Which element has an outer electron configuration of s 2 p4 ?

(A) Ca (B) Cr (C) Ge (D) Se

Answer:

(D) Se

Explanation:

The outer electronic configuration of an atom reflects the group to which it belongs in the periodic table. Each group has its unique outermost electron configuration and number of electrons found in the outermost shell of the atoms of elements in the group.

s 2 p4  is the unique outermost electron configuration of group 16 elements. Group 16 elements have six electrons in their outermost shell. If we consider the options, only Se is a member of group 16. Hence it is only Se that has the outermost electron configuration s 2 p4 .
