a.
To determine:
The number of protons and electrons in the chloride ion.
Introduction:
A neutral atom consists of the same number of protons and electrons. This corresponds to the atomic number of an element. If positively charged ion is given then, it has more number of protons than electrons whereas if negatively charged ion is given then, it has more number of electrons than protons.
b.
To determine:
The number of protons and electrons in
Introduction:
Atomic number is the total number of protons or electrons present in an atom.

- Average atomic masses listed by JUPAC are based on a study of experimental results. Bromine has two isotopes 79Br and 81Br, whose masses (78.9 183 and 80.9 163 amu) and abundances (50.69% and 49.3 1%) were determined in earlier experiments. Calculate the average atomic mass of bromine based on these experiments.arrow_forwardChlorine has two natural isotopes: 1737Cl and 1735Cl. Hydrogen reacts with chlorine to form the compound HCl. Would a given amount of hydrogen react with different masses of the two chlorine isotopes? Does this conflict with the law of definite proportion? Why or why not?arrow_forwardChlorine has two natural isotopes: C1737I and C1735I. Hydrogen reacts with chlorine to form the compound HCI. Would a given amount of hydrogen react with different masses of the two chlorine isotopes? Does this conflict with the law of definite proportion? Why or why not?arrow_forward
- Radon is a radioactive gas that can cause lung cancer. It has been detected in the basement of some homes. In an atom of Rn-220, (a) how many protons are there? (b) how many neutrons are there?arrow_forwardA gaseous binary compound has a vapor density that is 2.53 times that of nitrogen at 100°C and atmospheric pressure. When 8.21 g of the gas reacts with AlCl3 at 100°C, 1.62 g gaseous nitrogen is produced, removing all of the nitrogen originally present. (a) Estimate the molecular mass of the gaseous compound. (b) How many nitrogen atoms are there in a molecule of the compound? (c) What is the maximum possible value of the atomic mass of the second element? (d) Are other values possible for the atomic mass of the second element? Use a table of atomic masses to identify the element that best fits the data. (e) What is the molecular formula of the compound?arrow_forwardAn element consists of 1.40% of an isotope with mass 203.973 u, 24.10% of an isotope with mass 205.9745 u, 22.10% of an isotope with mass 206.9759 u, and 52.40% of an isotope with mass 207.Y766 u. Calculate the average atomic mass, and identify the element.arrow_forward
- Several compounds containing sulfur and fluorine are known. Three of them have the following compositions: i. 1.188 g of F for every 1.000 g of S ii. 2.375 g of F for every 1.000 g of S iii. 3.563 g of F for every 1.000 g of S How do these data illustrate the law of multiple proportions?arrow_forwardThe percent by mass of nitrogen is 46.7% for a species containing only nitrogen and oxygen. Which of the following could he this species? mg src=Images/HTML_99425-8-23ALQ_image001.jpg alt="" align="top"/>arrow_forwardThe CRC Handbook, a large reference book of chemical and physical data, lists two isotopes of rubidium (Z=37). The atomic mass of 72.15 of rubidium atoms is 84.9118u. Through a typographical oversight, the atomic mass of the second isotope is not printed. Calculate that atomic mass.arrow_forward
- Scientists J. J. Thomson and William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) made numerous contributions to our understanding of the atom’s structure. Which subatomic particle did J. J. Thomson discover, and what did this lead him to postulate about the nature of the atom? William Thomson postulated what became known as the “plum pudding” model of the atom’s structure. What did this model suggest?arrow_forwardThe element silver (Ag) has two naturally occurring isotopes: 109 Ag and 107Ag with a mass of 106.905 u. Silver consists of 51.82% 107Ag and has an average atomic mass of 107.868 u. Calculate the mass of 109Ag.arrow_forwardHow many platinum atoms are in a pure platinum ring weighing 4.32 g?arrow_forward
