Answer: Humans are moving more carbon into the atmosphere from other parts of the Earth system. More carbon is moving to the atmosphere when fossil fuels, like coal and oil, are burned. More carbon is moving to the atmosphere as humans get rid of forests by burning the trees.
Explanation:
The elements that form anions will have the electronic configuration similar to the noble gas that is in their period and those that form cations will have a configuration similar to that of the noble gas in the previous period.
He: Be
Ne: F, Al
Ar: Ca, P
Kr: Rb, Se
3.0e23 atoms Ne
"E" means 10^
Then we multiply it by a mole of Ne. By the definetion of a mole, it is always 6.022e23 atoms of an element.
So now, we do this:
3.0e23 atoms Ne x (1 mol Ne / 6.022e23 atoms Ne)
After that, we use molar mass. A mole of Neon is equal, in terms of grams, to its avg. atomic mass. This goes true for any element.
It ends up like this:
3.0e23 atoms Ne x (1 mol Ne / 6.022e23 atoms Ne) x (20.1797 g Ne / 1 mol Ne)
Now cancel out the "atoms Ne" and "1 mol Ne"
You end up with a grand total of...
*plugs everything into a calculator*
10.05298... g Ne.
We need to round to 2 sig. figs. (3.0) so now it's....
10 g Ne.
Note that this method can only be used for converting atoms of an element to mass in grams.
