Why is most of the mass of an atom in the nucleus

Chemistry

Answer:

The nucleus contains the majority of an atom's mass because protons and neutrons are much heavier than electrons, whereas electrons occupy almost all of an atom's volume. The diameter of an atom is on the order of 10−10 m, whereas the diameter of the nucleus is roughly 10−15 m—about 100,000 times smaller.

Explanation:

hope it helps you

This is because protons and neutrons are heavier than electrons as opposed to where electrons occupy most of an atoms volume

I don’t understand how to solve this and I don’t get ionic equation
Elden [556K]

Explanation:

Spectator ions refers to elements/molecules that do not form part of the reaction. Basically, these elements/molecules are in the same state in the reactant and product side. From the given reaction, Ca and SO4 change their state from aqueous to solid and Na and Cl do not change their state. Therefore, Na and Cl are spectator ions and Ca and SO4 are not spectator ions.

Answer:

The correct option is C.

sp2- 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,14,15,17

sp- 0

Explanation:

Hybridization is the idea that atomic orbitals fuse to form newly hybridized orbitals, which in turn, influences molecular geometry and bonding properties (Chemlibretexts).

Carbon atoms that are singly bonded are sp3 hybridized, carbon atoms that are doubly bonded are sp2 hybridized while carbon atoms that are triply bonded are sp hybridized.

Sp3 hybridized atoms have a tetrahedral geometry, sp2 hybridized atoms have a trigonal planar geometry while an sp hybridized atom has a linear geometry.

The hybridization state of each atom in the compound has been shown in the answer section.
