Answer:
To determine the total number of electrons in one molecule of NH4Cl (ammonium chloride), we need to consider the number of electrons contributed by each atom in the molecule.
NH4Cl consists of one nitrogen atom (N), four hydrogen atoms (H), and one chlorine atom (Cl).
1. Nitrogen (N) has 7 electrons in its neutral state.
2. Each hydrogen (H) atom has 1 electron.
3. Chlorine (Cl) has 17 electrons in its neutral state.
Now, let's calculate the total number of electrons in one molecule of NH4Cl:
- Nitrogen contributes 7 electrons.
- Each of the four hydrogen atoms contributes 1 electron, so 4 hydrogen atoms contribute \(4 \times 1 = 4\) electrons.
- Chlorine contributes 17 electrons.
Adding these together:
\[ 7 \text{ (from nitrogen)} + 4 \text{ (from hydrogen)} + 17 \text{ (from chlorine)} = 28 \text{ electrons} \]
So, there are a total of 28 electrons in one molecule of NH4Cl.
