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.

Which form of energy is directly related to the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance?

marshall27 [118]

<span>The form of energy related to measurement of kinetic energy is heat energy. Basically, thermal energy is related to the measurement of molecula kinetics of a substance. It is due to the thermoagitation of the partices of the substances, which keep on moving. </span>

The reaction is proceeding at a rate of 0.0080 Ms-1 in 50.0 mL of solution in a system with unknown concentrations of A and B. W

Leokris [45]

Answer:

0.0010 mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹

Explanation:

Assume the rate law is

rate = k[A][B]²

If you are comparing two rates,

$\dfrac{\text{rate}_{2}}{\text{rate}_{1}} = \dfrac{k_{2}\text{[A]}_2[\text{B]}_{2}^{2}}{k_{1}\text{[A]}_1[\text{B]}_{1}^{2}}= \left (\dfrac{\text{[A]}_{2}}{\text{[A]}_{1}}\right ) \left (\dfrac{\text{[B]}_{2}}{\text{[B]}_{1}}\right )^{2}$

You are cutting each concentration in half, so

$\dfrac{\text{[A]}_{2}}{\text{[A]}_{1}} = \dfrac{1}{2}\text{ and }\dfrac{\text{[B]}_{2}}{\text{[B]}_{1}}= \dfrac{1}{2}$

Then,

$\dfrac{\text{rate}_{2}}{\text{rate}_{1}} = \left (\dfrac{1}{2}\right ) \left (\dfrac{1}{2}\right )^{2} = \dfrac{1}{2}\times\dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{1}{8}\\\\\text{rate}_{2} = \dfrac{1}{8}\times \text{rate}_{1}= \dfrac{1}{8}\times \text{0.0080 mol$\cdot$L$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$} = \textbf{0.0010 mol$\cdot$L$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$}\\\\\text{The new rate is $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.0010 mol$\cdot$L$^\mathbf{{-1}}$s$^{\mathbf{-1}}$}}$}$

Which of the following shows three elements in order of decreasing electronegativity?

damaskus [11]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D which is the decreasing order of conductivity is Mn, O, Ge.

Explanation:

You can easily answer this if you know the periodic trends. For the property of electrical conductivity, it decreases across a period and decreases also down a group. Thus, the most conductive element must be Mn, while the least conductive one is Ge. So, the answer is: -Mn, O, Ge
