There are more electrons than protons in a negatively charged atom. true false

Its false i took the test c:

The correct answer is True.

Explanation:

An ion is formed when an atom looses or gain electron.

If an atom gains electrons, it will have more number of electrons than protons. Thus, it will carry negative charge and will lead to the formation of anion.

If an atom looses electrons, it will have less number of electrons than protons. Thus, it will carry positive charge and will lead to the formation of cation.

Hence, the given statement is true.

it is called acid bonding

given:

mass of na = 115 g

excess cl2

to determine:

mass of nacl produced

explanation:

given reaction is-

2na(s) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(s)

since cl2 is in excess, na will be the limiting reagent

as per the reaction stoichiometry na: nacl = 1: 1

i.e. moles of na reacted = moles of nacl formed

now, # moles of na = mass of na/atomic mass

                                  = 115 g/23 g.mol-1 = 5 moles

therefore, moles of nacl = 5

molar mass of nacl = 58 g/mol

mass of nacl = 5 moles * 58 g.mol-1 = 290 g

ans: amount of nacl produced = 290 g
