i have a question about atoms. How would i find electrons when the atomic number is the number of protons and electrons?

1 answer:

3 0

The atomic number is the same as the amount of electrons and protons. For example:
Oxygens atomic number is 8 so the proton and electron count is 8.
Hydrogens atomic number is 1 so the proton and electron count is 1.

Give the name and formula of the compound formed from the following elements: a) Sodium and nitrogen b) Oxygen and strontium c)

elena-s [515]

Answer: a) Sodium and nitrogen : $NaN_3$ : sodium nitride.

b) Oxygen and strontium : $SrO$ : strontium oxide.

c) Aluminum and chlorine : $AlCl_3$ : aluminium chloride.

d) Cesium and bromine : $CsBr$ : cesium bromide.

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

a) Sodium and nitrogen : Here sodium is having an oxidation state of +1 called as $Na^{+}$ cation and nitrogen forms an anion $N^{3-}$ with oxidation state of -3. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $NaN_3$ named as sodium nitride.

b) Oxygen and strontium : Here strontium is having an oxidation state of +2 called as $Sr^{+}$ cation and oxygen forms an anion $O^{2-}$ with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $SrO$ named as strontium oxide.

c) Aluminum and chlorine : Here aluminium is having an oxidation state of +3 called as $Al^{3+}$ cation and chlorine forms an anion $Cl^{-}$ with oxidation state of -1. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $AlCl_3$ named as aluminium chloride.

d) Cesium and bromine : Here cesium is having an oxidation state of +1 called as $Cs^{+}$ cation and bromine forms an anion $Br^{-}$ with oxidation state of -1. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $CsBr$ named as cesium bromide.

Jordan is doing a science fair project on the effect of music on the growth of tomatoes. He has two tomatoe plants,plant A and p

krek1111 [17]

The control group is the type of tomato the plants are.
The independent variable is the type of music played.
The dependent variable is Plant A and B's growth.
His conclusion should be that music does not affect the growth of tomatoes.
He should make sure both plants were getting the same amount of water, soil, light, seed, and fertilizer so that can't affect the tomatoes in any way.
