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

1. The s orbitals are not symmetrical in shape.<br> a. TRUE<br> O. FALSE

ira [324]

The s orbitals are not symmetrical in shape is a FALSE statement.

An s orbital is so symmetric, more specifically spherically symmetric that it looks the same from all directions.

The atomic orbitals in the atoms of elements differ in shape.

In essence, the electrons they describe have varying probability distributions around the nucleus. The spherical symmetry of s orbitals is evident in the fact that all orbitals of a given shell in the hydrogen atom have the same energy.

All s orbitals are spherically symmetrical. Put simply, an electron that occupies an s orbital can be found with the same probability at any orientation (at a distance) from the nucleus.

The s orbitals are therefore represented by a spherical boundary surface which is a surface which captures a high proportion of the electron density.

For the chemical reaction CaI2+2AgNO3-> 2AgI+Ca(NO3)2 how many moles of silver iodide will be produced from 205g of calcium i

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Moles of silver iodide produced = 1.4 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of calcium iodide = 205 g

Moles of silver iodide produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

CaI₂ + 2AgNO₃ → 2AgI + Ca(NO₃)₂

Number of moles calcium iodide:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 205 g/ 293.887 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.7 mol

Now we will compare the moles of calcium iodide with silver iodide.

CaI₂ : AgI

1 : 2

0.7 : 2×0.7 = 1.4

Thus 1.4 moles of silver iodide will be formed from 205 g of calcium iodide.

List the ions in solution in the electrolysis of conc.sodium chloride<br>

Licemer1 [7]

Chloride ions Cl –(aq) (from the dissolved sodium chloride) are discharged at the positive electrode as chlorine gas, Cl 2(g) sodium ions Na +(aq) (from the dissolved sodium chloride) and hydroxide ions OH –(aq) (from the water) stay behind - they form sodium hydroxide solution, NaOH(aq)
