Helium - 4 isotope has 2 protons and 2 neutrons.
Its atomic number is 2 (the number of protons). Atomic number is the number of protons in the atom of an element and it identifies the element. All the isotopes of an element have the same atomic number (same number of protons). So, all the isotopes of hellium have 2 protons.
The number 4 that identifies the helium - 4 isotope is the mass number, i.e. the number of protons plus the number of neutron. So, helium-4 isotope has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. While, other isotopes of helium have 2 protons but different number of neutrons.
The atomic number enable us to deduce the number of electrons in an atom because the atoms are neutral, which implies that the positive and negative charge are equal. Given that the magnitude of the charge of electons and protons are equal but the sign is opposed (protons are positve and electrons are negative) the number of electrons in the atom equals the number of protonts. That is why the atomic number is also the number of electrons of the atom.
Explanation:
Radium (atomic number 88) has similar properties to barium and is also in the Group 2 category. However, radium is a radioactive element and is generally under the category of radioisotopes in addition to being an alkaline earth metal, because it is not a stable element.
The answer is the lake.
A lake is a large expanse of terrestrial water, consisting of streams that are linked to the lake. Although some dimensions of some salt-water lakes are considered island seas; they are therefore distinct from the lagoons, and are larger and deeper than the ponds, while remaining a water body by definition.
Answer:
2.01
Explanation:
First, let's convert grams to moles
(Na) 22.99 + (F) 18.998 = 41.988
Every mole of NaF is 41.988 grams
21/41.988 = 0.500143 moles of NaF
For every Cr+3, we will need 2 NaF, so Cr+3 will be half of NaF
0.500143/2 = 0.250071
molarity = moles/liters
0.250071/0.125 = 2.0057 M
