One isotope of a nonmetallic element has mass num- ber 127 and 74 neutrons in the nucleus. The anion derived from the isotope has 54 electrons. Write the symbol for this anion.

I⁻

Explanation:

The identity of the element is obtained when the proton number is known.

Mass Number = 127

Neutrons = 74

Number of protons is obtained from;

Protons = Mass Number - Number of Neutrons

Protons = 127 - 74 = 53

The element is Iodine and it's symbol is I.

However, The anion derived from the isotope has 54 electrons

A neutral Iodine should have 53 electrons. This means it has gained a single electron. The symbol is now written as;

I⁻

? you expect us to answer this? ? this is your schoolwork, i don't think we can with this, i think it would considering being

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.
