Which of the following statements explains why atoms are always neutral in charge

Chemistry
1 answer:
laila [671]1 year ago

Answer:

D. They have the same number of protons as electrons.

Explanation:

Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom and have a positive charge while electrons orbit around the nucleus and have a negative charge. Usually, in a neutral atom of an element, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. This is why the atom has no charge because the positive and negative charges cancel out. When an atom loses an electron its charge turns positive while when it gains an electron its charge turns negative.

Draw all of the Lewis structures of O2 which obey the octet rule and use this Lewis structure or these resonance structures to p
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Each oxygen atom is connected to the central O atom with 2 covalent bonds.

Explanation:

Oxygen atoms are connected by two covalent bonds in the oxygen molecule from the Lewis structure, we see that the bond order for O2 is 2 (a double bond) this is clearly seen in the image attached. There are no resonance structures for the oxygen molecule since there are no partial bonds in the molecule, only the two covalent bonds present.

This structure of oxygen shown in the image is its only structure, showing the covalent bonds formed and other non bonding electrons present in the molecule. The octet rule is followed in drawing the structure. Each oxygen atom possesses an octet of electrons on its outermost shell.

How many atoms of hydrogen are present in 7.63 g of ammonia? please help me ??
GarryVolchara [31]
The atoms  of  hydrogen  that are  present  in  7.63 g  of ammonia(NH3)

find  the  moles  of NH3 =mass/molar mass
 7.63 g/ 17 g/mol = 0.449  moles

since there  is  3 atoms of H  in NH3 the  moles of  H = 0.449 x 3 = 1.347 moles

by  use  of  1 mole = 6.02 x10^23  atoms
what  about  1.347  moles

= 1.347  moles/1   moles  x 6.02 x10^23 atoms = 8.11 x10^23  atoms of Hydrogen

The frequency of an x-ray wave is 3.0 x 1012 MHz. Its wave speed is 3.0x 108 m/s. Calculate the wavelength of the x-ray wave bel
elena55 [62]

Answer:

λ = 1*10⁻¹⁰m

Explanation:

Frequency (f) = 3.0*10¹²MHz = 3.0*10¹⁸Hz

Speed (v) = 3.0*10⁸m/s

Speed (v) of a wave = frequency (f) * wavelength (λ)

V = fλ

Solve for λ,

λ = v / f

λ = 3.0*10⁸ / 3.0*10¹⁸

λ = 1*10⁻¹⁰m

λ = 0.
