An atomic mass unit (symbolized AMU or amu) is defined as precisely 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12. The carbon-12 (C-12) atom has six protons and six neutrons in its nucleus. In imprecise terms, one AMU is the average of the proton rest mass and the neutron rest mass.
The reaction given is:
4Ga + P4 ---> 4GaP
The oxidation number of the reactants is zero, because they are pure elements.
The P in compounds may have oxidation states 3- or 5-. Gallium may only have oxidation state 3+.
Then, to be neutral in GaP the oxidation states are 3+ for Ga and 3- for P.
And the transference of electrons can be see in this oxidation - reduction equations:
Ga (0) - 3 e- ----> Ga (3+)
P (0) + 3e- ---> P (3-)
So, for one formula unit, 3 electrons have been transfered from each Ga atom to P atom to form one GaP unit.
Answer: 3 electrons.
Explanation:
As the name suggests, a single molecule of Dinitrogen Pentoxide will have 2 (di) nitrogen atoms and 5 (Pent) oxygen atoms.
Answer:
The correct matching of the air mass and the letters in the word bank are given as follows;
1. Warm and humid ↔ D
2. Extremely cold and dry ↔ B
3. Cold and dry ↔ A
4. Cold and humid ↔ C
5. Warm and dry ↔ E
Where;
A Represents continental polar
B Represents Artic
C Represents Maritime Polar
D Represents Maritime Tropical
E Represents Continental Tropical
Explanation:
A. A continental polar is one that can be described as a cold and dry climate as the region is located at a further away from the oceanic water bodies that add humidity to the climate
B. The regions of the Artic and the Antarctic have very limited amount of precipitation every year because the air is very cold as well as dry
C. A polar climate is a cold climate region, while a maritime climate is humid.
Therefore, the maritime polar climate combines both cold and humid conditions
D. A warm and humid region has high rainfall and humidity, as such the maritime climate which are humid and the tropical climate, which are warm, combine to give a warm and humid climate
E. The continental tropical climate can be described as warm and dry, compared to the continental water bodies, due to the location being distant from and therefore, the absence of high moisture containing wind that comes from the oceans.
Answer:
There must be two Chlorine atoms for every one Calcium atom in order to fulfill Chlorine's octet rule and pair Calcium's unpaired electrons.
Explanation:
Calcium has two unpaired electrons in its Lewis dot structure, while Chlorine has one unpaired electron.
<em>So why can't we just make a double bond for </em><em>one</em><em> Chlorine?</em>
Chlorine has seven valence electrons, so once it shares electrons with Calcium, the octet rule is accomplished, and no more pairs can be made.
