A neutral particle of an atom is located at the nucleus.

<h3>What are electron cloud?</h3>

Electrons are those negatively charged particles that are found revolving round an atom.

Electron cloud is defined as the model of an atom in which the atom consists of a small but massive nucleus surrounded by a cloud of rapidly moving electrons.

A neutral particle is a nucleus because the nucleus of an atom is made up of neutral particles found within the nucleus of an atom which doesn't contain any charges.

An atom is defined as the smallest and indivisible part of an element which can take part in a chemical reaction.

An atom is made up of nucleus which consists of the proton (which is positively charged) and the neutron (which bears no charges at all).

Therefore, a neutral particle can be said to be an electron cloud.

What occurs along a convergent plate boundary ?

Margaret [11]

Answer:

Two plates pull towards each other

Explanation:

Along a convergent plate boundary, two plates moves towards each other as the move in the same direction.

This results in different forms of plate interactions depending on the plate types.

At an ocean - ocean and continental - ocean convergent front, subduction of the oceanic plate occurs. This is because the oceanic plate below is denser than the asthenosphere.
At a continental - continental convergent front, the continental crust is pulls upward and build up as a mountain.
The subduction produces trenches and some volcanic islands.

What is the iupac name of the following compound? <br><br> 2,2-dimethyl-4-ethylheptane

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The IUPAC name of the compound has already been given which is 2,2-dimethyl-4-ethylheptane.

Explanation:

The IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) is an authority in chemistry that provides a guideline and standardized methods in the naming of compounds formed from the periodic table.

In order the give an IUPAC name to a compound, certain steps needs to be followed, these includes:

--> Identify the functional group in the compound as this will form the suffix. For example if the functional group is an alkane the suffix will be -ane.

--> Identify the longest carbon chain (it may not be a straight chain) that contains the functional group. This forms the prefix. Example: if the longest carbon chain is 7 carbon atoms then the prefix will be hept-

--> All the carbons of the longest chain should be numbered

--> Identify branched groups on the chain and name them according to the number of carbon atoms. They usually end with -yl.

--> Finally, combine the elements of the name is a single word.

The structural formula of the IUPAC compound can be found in the attached file for a better understanding. The branched groups are circled.
