(a) O^2 - (b) 0^- (c) 0^+ (d) O^2+ (e) O^3+ What is the correct formula for iron(III) fluoride? (a) Fe_2F_2 (b) FeF (c) FeF_3 (d) Fe_3F_3 (e) Fe_2F_3

Explanation / Answer

Question 18.

isotope of Silicon, Si,

mass number = 30

Mass number = proton + neutrons

the silicon has only 1 proton count = 14

so

neutrons = Mass No- proton = 30-14 = 16

choose B
