Answer is: 2. atomic number.
Atomic number is unique and defines an element. Atomic number (Z) is total number of protons in an atom.
For example, nitrogen atom (N-14) has 7 protons (p⁺), 7 electrons (e⁻) and 7 neutrons (n°). Protons (positive charge) and neutrons are in the nucleus of atom, electrons (negative charge) are bound to the nucleus in spherical shells. Nitrogen is an element with atomic number 7. Mass number (A) is the total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus. Nitrogen mass number is 14 (A = p⁺ + n°; A = 14).
Answer:
One: <u>Selenium</u> is Paramagnetic
Explanation:
Those compounds which have unpaired electrons are attracted towards magnet. This property is called as paramagnetism. Lets see why remaining are not paramagnetic.
Electronic configuration of Scandium;
Sc = 21 = 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹
Sc³⁺ = 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶
Hence in Sc³⁺ there is no unpaired electron.
Electronic configuration of Bromine;
Br = 35 = 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁵
Br⁻ = 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶
Hence in Br⁻ there is no unpaired electron.
Electronic configuration of Magnesium;
Mg = 12 = 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s²
Mg²⁺ = 1s², 2s², 2p⁶
Hence in Mg²⁺ there is no unpaired electron.
Electronic configuration of selenium;
Se = 34 = 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁴
Or,
Se = 34 = 1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4px², 4py¹, 4pz¹
Hence in Se there are two unpaired electrons hence it is paramagnetic in nature.
Answer:
B. Element
Explanation:
Tungsten is an chemical element
Atomic mass is the mass of a chemical element expressed in atomic mass units. Molar mass the mass of a given substance divided by its amount of substance in (mol) .
