Answer:

a) 50 protons, 50 electrons, 75 neutrons

Explanation:

How many protons, electrons, and neutrons does an atom with atomic number 50 and a mass number of 125 contain?

a) 50 protons, 50 electrons, 75 trons

b) 75 electrons, 50 protons, 50 neutrons

c) 120 neutrons, 50 protons, 75 electrons

atomic number IS the number of protons

atomic mass IS the total of protons + neutrons

so 50 protons

125-50 = 75 neutrons

in a neutral atom,

number of negative electrons = number of positive protons

a) 50 protons, 50 electrons, 75 neutrons

You’d need to lower the exponent because rounding to 3 sig figs changes the 9’s to - 1000. Keep the 0’s.

Which of following statements is true about scientific knowledge? Scientific ideas are not subject to change, so scientific know

Romashka [77]

Answer:

The accepted views of science knowledge can change over time. Changes can result from new science observations, but can also be affected by social, political or religious convictions. To develop a deeper understanding, students need to investigate the context of the time in which science ideas were developed.

Hi can someone help me quickly please its for chemistry

lara [203]

Answer:

Explanation:

The atom X has 1 1 protons (atomic number) and thus would have 11 electrons. This means the atom X would have 1 valence electron in it's outermost shell. While the atom Y has 17 protons (atomic number) and thus would have 17 electrons. This means the atom Y would have 7 electrons in it's outermost shell.

The type of bond this atoms (X and Y) would form is an Ionic (or electrovalent) bond. <u>This bond/combination involves the transfer of electron(s) and a molecule is not formed</u> as seen in the image below.
