Not sure what the question is, but a standard sodium atom has 11 protons, 11 electrons, and 12 neutrons with an atomic mass of 23. A sodium atom with a mass number of 24 probably has 13 neutrons.
Answer:
Protons: 50, Neutrons: 75, Electrons: 50
Explanation:
The atomic number, which in this case is 50, determines the number of protons and electrons an atom has. Take the atomic number and subtract the number of protons to get the number of neutrons.
Answer : The correct formula of the given compound will be,
Explanation :
Calcium chloride is an ionic compound because calcium element is a metal and chloride element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.
The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:
1. Positive ion is written first.
2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.
The charge on calcium is (+2) and the the charge on chloride is (-1). The charges are not balanced. Thus they combine and their charges are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral .
Hence, the formula of the compound calcium chloride will be
