5 0
<h2>Required Answer :- </h2>

- In the question it is asked how many numbers of protons are present in a sodium atom.

- We know that the atomic number of sodium is 11.

- Sodium atom means it is in its neutral state, the neutral sodium atom has no charge on it.

- We know that the atomic number of an element is always equal to the number of protons for the particular element.

- Therefore the atomic number of sodium is 11 and the number of protons in sodium are 11.

<h3>Additional information :- </h3>

  • If we know the atomic number of an element then only we can find the number of protons, neutrons and electrons present in it. The number of electrons in an element is equal to the atomic number of the respective element

  • The atomic weight of the sodium is 23.

  • The number of neutrons in sodium = Atomic weight of sodium – number of protons in sodium

= 23 – 11 = 12.

  • So, the number of neutrons in sodium is equal to 12.

  • The number of electrons in sodium is equal to the atomic number of sodium. Then the number of electrons in sodium is equal to 11.

  • Therefore the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in sodium are 11, 12 and 11 respectively.

In the single displacement reaction of HCl and magnesium, how many grams of magnesium chloride would be produced if 1.05g of mag
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

4.16g of MgCl2

Explanation:

First, let us generate a balanced equation for the reaction:

Mg + 2HCl —> MgCl2 + H2

Molar Mass of Mg = 24g/mol

Molar Mass of MgCl2 = 24 + (2x35.5) = 24 + 71 = 95g

From the equation,

24g of Mg produced 95g of MgCl2.

Therefore, 1.05g of Mg will produce = (1.05x95)/24 = 4.16g of MgCl2

Which of the following best explains why J.J. Thompson's Plum Pudding model had to be revised?
QveST [7]
I think the correct answer is B. J.J. Thompson's Plum Pudding model had to be revised because atoms have protons and neutrons in the nucleus. He realized that aside from the electrons which are negatively charged, positive charge particles should be present to neutralize the charge of an atom.
