Answer:

By finding the number of protons

Explanation:

Keep in mind when trying to find the number of electrons of a element, the number of electrons also equals the number of protons. In order to find the number of protons in the element simply find it's atomic number.

Example:

Find the number of electrons in the element iron.

Fe (Iron)

Fe's atomic number is 26

Protons/electrons = 26

Hope this helps.

The number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom can be determined from a set of simple rules. The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to the atomic number (Z). The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons.

For each property listed, identify the type of element it describes.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

1.Very good electrical conductivity : Metals (Decreacing order of conductivity)

Silver > Copper > Gold > aluminium

2. Amphoteric : Metal elements

Beryllium , Aluminium , Zinc ,

3.Gaseous at room temperature: mostly Nobel gases elements and some non - metal elements.

Helium ,neon , argon , krypton , fluorine , Oxygen , nitrogen

4.Solid at room temperature: Mostly Metals (few non-metals, metalloid elements)

Metals (Sodium , potassium , calcium , gold are solid)

Non- metals(Carbon ,Boron )

Metalloids(antimony)

5. Brittle : non - metals (can't be rolled into wires)

Hydrogen , carbon , sulfur , phosphorus

As part of your job you are asked to make 1 liter of a 0.5 molar sucrose solution. how much sucrose (c12h22o11) do you need? use

kakasveta [241]

Answer:- 171 g

Solution:- It asks to calculate the grams of sucrose required to make 1 L of 0.5 Molar solution of it.

We know that molarity is moles of solute per liter of solution.

If molarity and volume is given then, moles of solute is molarity times volume in liters.

moles of solute = molarity* liters of solution

moles of solute = 0.5*1 = 0.5 moles

To convert the moles to grams we multiply the moles by molar mass.

Molar mass of sucrose = 12(12) + 22(1) + 11(16)

= 144 + 22 + 176

= 342 grams per mol

grams of sucrose required = moles * molar mass

grams of sucrose required = 0.5*342 = 171 g

So, 171 g of sucrose are required to make 1 L of 0.5 molar solution.
