Sodium acetate contains both ionic and covalent bonds. In sodium acetate, there is ionic bond between sodium and acetate ions and there is covalent bond in the atoms that are bondeed to the carbon atoms. Hope this answers the question.

How can i find nuclear charge and overall charge while only knowing the atomic mumber, number of protons and electrons?

Mazyrski [523]

Explanation:

An atom is made up of:

Protons which are the positively charged particles
Electrons are negatively charged
Neutrons carry no charges.

Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom.

To find the nuclear charge:

We use the effective nuclear charge formula:

Effective nuclear charge = Atomic number - number of shielding electrons(non-valence electrons)

The shielding electrons are the non-valence electrons in the inner orbitals.

For example:

Ne:

atomic number = 10

Effective nuclear charge = 10 - (2) = 8+

Number of non-valence electrons is 2

The effective nuclear charge is 8+

Overall charge:

Charge = number of protons - number of electrons

For neutral atoms, the overall charge is zero as the number of protons and electrons are the same.
