Chemistry

nirvana33 [79]2 years ago
5 0

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

A molecule that has a central atom surrounded by three single bond pairs and one unshared pair would have a _____ shape
Fantom [35]
A molecule that has a central atom surrounded by three single bond pairs and one unshared pair would have a trigonal pyramidal shape. The electon arrangement of this is called tetrahedral. It involves one atom located at the apex and at the corners are three atoms with a trigonal base. An example would be ammonia or NH3. Nitrogen has five valence electrons so that it needs to three more electrons to satisfy the octet rule and be stable. It would share electrons with the three nitrogen present. In order, to achieve the most stable geometry, the three atoms of hydrogen would attach with a bond angle of 109 degrees.

How many oxygen atoms are in 2(NO3)
torisob [31]

6 Oxygen atoms

Explanation:

In the molecule 2(NO₃):

An atom is the smallest indivisible particle of any substance. They chemically combine to give compounds and molecules. Some of them are able to exist on their own.

An element is a substance that has a unique atom.

      NO₃ has two elements: N   and O

      Number of atoms:

    N = 1

    O = 3

but we have two moles of NO₃

 O = 3 x 2 = 6

 N = 1 x 2 = 2
