Does the orbiting nucleus of an atom have a positive, negative, or neutral charge

Chemistry
1 answer:
zvonat [6]1 year ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

If you look at an atom as a whole, it is electrically neutral and possesses no overall charge.  The nucleus consists of Protons and neutrons, Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge on them.

Hence, the nucleus of an atom is positively charged and is generally surrounded by one or more electrons.

The electrons on the other hand have a negative charge on them.  

The sign convention for proton (+1), neutron(0) and electron(-1). The nucleus is very heavy but is very small compared to the overall size of an atom.

What is the total ionic equation for the following reaction?
schepotkina [342]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An equation in which electrolytes are represented in the form of ions is known as an ionic equation.

Strong electrolytes easily dissociate into their corresponding ions. Hence, they form ionic equation.

H_{2}CrO_{4} is a strong acid and Ba(OH)_{2} is a strong bases, therefore, both of them will dissociate into ions.

Thus, total ionic equation will be as follows.

2H^{+} + CrO_{4}^{-} + Ba^{2+} + 2OH^{-} \rightarrow Ba^{2+} + CrO_{4}^{-} + 2H_{2}O

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! Explain how a pure metal is held together. Include a definition of a metallic bond in your explanation. Pl
vazorg [7]

Explanation:

A chemical bond which is formed in between positively charged atoms when there is sharing of free electrons in a lattice of cations is known as a metallic bond.

In a pure metal, atoms are surrounded by free moving valence electrons which move from one part of metal to another.

Thus, we can conclude that pure metals are held together by metallic bonds due to attraction between mobile valence electrons and positively charged metal ions.

Which model failed to explain the
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

C). The Bohr-Rutherford model

Explanation:

The 'Bohr-Rutherford model' of the atom failed to elaborate on the attraction between some substances. It essentially targeted hydrogen atoms and failed to explain its stability across multi-electrons. The nature and processes of the chemical reactions remained unillustrated and thus, this is the key drawback of this model. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
