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.

Which would be the best to neutralize a large acid spill in your school lab: sodium hydroxide or baking soda? Explain.
nadya68 [22]

Consider the acid spill. It is already starting to do nasty things to, say, the floor or counter. So you grab the bottle of 10% NaOH and pour some on the spill. All of a sudden, you get a great deal of heat, and you don't have any visual evidence whether your put on too little or too much. But you have added more liquid to the spill, generated more heat, and will get more damage. You have made a bigger mess, and if you added too much, you then have a neutralization problem to deal with.  

And if it is something like a strong sulfuric acid solution, adding sodium hydroxide solution will be extremely exothermic, and you could get some really nasty results.  

So now approach the spill with a handful of baking soda. You sprinkle it on the spill. It fizzes, and carbon dioxide is given off. That actually, in a very tiny way, moderates the temperature of the neutralization. And you can keep adding baking soda until the fizzing stops, and then perhaps some water to mix everything well. But what you have done is kept the volume to a minimum, added a neutralization agent that has a visible endpoint (no more gas being given off), and you don't suddenly have a huge amount of highly basic solution because you added too much.  

And what is also nice about baking soda is that you can toss some with your hand or even with a spoon, and get some distance from the spill. With a liquid, you have to get much closer

i hope this helped..

How many protons, neutrons, and electrons could an isotope of this atom contain?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The atomic number on the Periodic Table identifies the number of protons in any atom of that element. Copper, atomic number 29, has 29 protons. Finding the atomic number of an element reveals the number of protons.

To find the number of neutrons in the atom, subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.

3.75 g of an unknown gas at 59 °C and 1.00 atm is stored in a 1.35-L flask. What is the molar mass of the gas?
MAXImum [283]
You need to find moles of the gas, so you would use the ideal gas law:
PV=nRT
Pressure
Volume
n=moles
R= gas constant
Tenperature in Kelvin
n= PV/RT
(1.00atm)(1.35L)/(.08206)(332K) = 0.050mol
Molar mass is grams per mole, so
(3.75g/.050mol) = 75g/mol
