How many electrons are in a neutral atom of sodium

Chemistry
1 answer:
guajiro [1.7K]3 years ago
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.

The reaction that will probably power the first commercial fusion reactor is:3 0 H + 2 1 H image from custom entry tool4 2 He +
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

2.8087*10^-12 kJ per mole of reaction (2.8087*10^-12 kJ/mol).

Explanation:

To calculate the energy produced, we need to write a balanced equation for the reaction and determine the change in the masses of the reactants and products. Afterward, we can use the energy equation to determine the energy produced. The balanced equation for the nuclear reaction is shown below:

³₁H + ²₁H ⇒⁴₂He + ¹₀n

The masses of atoms are ³₁H is 3.01605 amu, ²₁H is 2.0140 amu, ⁴₂He is 4.00260 amu, and ¹₀n is 1.008665 amu.

change in mass Δm = (3.01605+2.0140) - (4.00260+1.008665) = 0.0188 amu

Energy produced, E = m*C^2

C is the speed of light = 3*10^8 m/s and 1 amu = 1.66*10^-27 kg

Therefore:

E = 0.0188*1.66*10^-27 * (3*10^8)^2 =  2.8087*10^-12 kJ per mole of reaction.

Therefore, in scientific notation, the energy released is 2.8087*10^-12 kJ/mol

Lead will float in water.
Fed [463]

Actually, no. While their mass may be the same (1kg), the volume of lead is a lot smaller than that of feathers. As there is the same mass stuffed in a smaller space, it must be denser. The density of water is 1 g/cm3, so if the density of the lead is more than 1g/cm3, it has to sink

Bees and flowers both belong to the domain Eukarya. Using this information, how are bees and flowers similar?
Step2247 [10]
The answer is both are made of cells that contain a nucleus. Since they made up of cells that have a nucleus enclosed within membranes, bees and flowers can be classified under Domain Eukarya. Animals are heterotrophic, have no cell walls and no cloroplasts, while plants are autotrophic, have cell walls with cellulose and have chloroplasts.

A sample of 54.0 g of methanol is heated from 25.0 °c to 35.0 °c. how much heat is required? the specific heat capacity of metha
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
The  amount of heat required   is calculated  using the below  formula

Q(heat) =M(mass) xC(specific heat capacity)x delta T (change in temperature)

change in the temperature in kelvin=(35+273)- (25 +2730= 10K
c= 2.48 j/g/k
mass= 54.0 g

Q= 54.0 g x 2.48 j/g/k x 10k  = 1339.2  joules is required
