A student has a sample of the mineral rock salt. Rock salt contains sodium chloride or ‘salt’, sand, and grit (small pebbles). Describe how the student could get a sample of pure sodium chloride from the rock salt.

Because electrons have negligible mass, to account for the mass of the isotope, there must be 16 neutrons, 16 neutrally charged, massive, fundamental particles present in the sulfur nucleus. and thus finally, if we have the 32s2− ion, there are 18 electrons, 16 protons, and 16 neutrons.

Determine the  wavelength of light emitted when an electron  in an li2+ ion  makes a transition from an orbital with n  =  6 to an orbital with n  = 5.
