Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The number of protons in Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
In an atom, number of protons and electrons can be calculated from
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of electrons in Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
In an atom, number of protons and electrons can be calculated from atomic number and mass number. The atomic number is equal to the number of protons and electrons present in the neutral atom. The mass number is sum of number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus of an atom.
(c)
Interpretation:
The noble gas having the same electron configurations as in Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Electron configuration is the distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule in atomic or molecular orbitals. This helps to indicate electrons and orbitals easily.
(d)
Interpretation:
The role of Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions in the body needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Ions play an important role in the body. Calcium, potassium, sodium, chloride, and copper ions are major ions and some key ions that participate in the body's electrical events.

- If a high molecular weight linear polyethylene is chlorinated by inducing the substitution of chlorine atoms by hydrogen, if 5% of all hydrogen atoms are replaced, what approximate percentage of chlorine by weight would the product have?arrow_forwardO Macmillan Learning Chemistry: Fundamentals and Principles Davidson presented by Macmillan Learning Poly(ethylene terephthalate), known as PET or industrially as Dacron, is a polyester synthesized through a condensation reaction between two bifunctional monomers. The monomers, ethylene glycol and terepthalic acid, are given. Add bonds and remove atoms as necessary to show the structure of a two repeat unit portion of a longer polymer chain of PET. You may need to zoom out to see the complete structure of all four monomer units.
