1.The atomic number of an element is 23 and its mass number is 56. a. How many protons and electrons does an atom of this element have?
b. How many neutrons does this atom have?

23 protons, 23 electrons, 33 neutrons

Explanation:

I don't know why my answer got deleted but no worries, I can answer again. The number of protons and electrons is equal to the atomic number which is 23 and the number of neutrons is 56 - 23 = 33 because atomic mass denotes the number of protons and neutrons.

so here we go

atomic mass

239 + 1 = y + 134 + 3 combine like terms

240 = y + 137             subtract 137 from both terms

240 - 137 = y

103 = y

atomic number

94 = z +54 + 0

94 = z + 54               subtract 54 from both sides.

40 = z

answer

definition

                    entropy is a measure of the randomness or the extent of disorder of a chemical process.

                      enthalpy is a measure of the heat change of a reaction occurring at a constant pressure.

measurement units:

                        entropy is measured in joule per kelvin (jk⁻¹)   whereas enthalpy is measured in joule per mole (jmol⁻¹)

requirements:

                            entropy has no requirements or limits, and its change is measured by the division between the heat change of the chemical process and the temperature.

                              in contrast, enthalpy can only be related to the heat change of the reaction under standard conditions.
