For which of the following elements is the number of neutrons correctly represented, based on the atomic number and mass number given? a. gold: atomic number 79, mass 197, neutrons 79
b. mercury: atomic number 80, mass 201, neutrons 180
c. seaborgium: atomic number 106, mass 266, neutrons 160
d. rutherfordium: atomic number 104, mass 261, neutrons 104

i'm assuming that it's c.) red bank..

i have no clue hope you find the answer

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
