What does the atomic number of an element NOT tell you?
A) The number of protons in an atom
B) The number of electrons in an atom
C) The identity & name of an element
D) The number of neutrons in an element

Hey there!

The atomic number is the number of protons in the atom, so A is incorrect.

In a neutral atom, which we assume unless otherwise stated, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons, so B is incorrect.

The number of protons is what determines the name and identity of an element, so C is incorrect.

The only thing it doesn't tell us is the number of neutrons, because one kind of atom can have different isotopes.

So your answer is D) The number of neutrons in an element.

Hope this helps!

consider the reaction below.

at 500 k, the reaction is at equilibrium with the following concentrations.

[pci5]= 0.0095 m

[pci3] = 0.020

[ci2] = 0.020 m

what is the equilibrium constant for the given reaction?
