How does the size change when an atom forms a cation and when an atom forms an anion?

1 answer:

8 0

<span>A cation is an atom that loses a valence electron. When a valence electron is released there is one electron less to create a repulsive force. The loss of a repulsive force will allow the atom to pull tighter together. An anion would therefore be larger in size due to increased repulsion of the valence electrons.</span>

mrs_skeptik [129]

Atomic number (Z) of tungsten is 74

Mass number (A) of tungsten is 184

Now:

Atomic number of an element = Number of protons = Number of electrons

Mass number = Number of Protons + Number of neutrons

In the case of tungsten

Total Number of electrons = 74

Jeffrey has already added 21 electrons

Number of electrons needed = 74 - 21 = 53

Ans (D) 53 more electrons are needed to complete the neutral atom of tungsten.

What is the percent error for the experiment if the actual density is

OLga [1]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 40.96%</h3>

Explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

$P(\%) = \frac{error}{actual \: \: number} \times 100\% \\$

From the question

actual density = 2.49g/mL

error = 2.49 - 1.47 = 1.02

We have

$p(\%) = \frac{1.02}{2.49} \times 100 \\ = 40.96385542...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Why is granite better then marble for a statue in a city centre

nasty-shy [4]

Granite is stronger, and it doesn't grow mold in the rain. It also looks better than marble and is easier to carve.

PLS HELP QUICK ALOTTT OF POINTS

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.80 \ mol\ F}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find how many moles are in 4.8 × 10²³ fluorine atoms. We convert atoms to moles using Avogadro's Number or 6.022 × 10²³. This is the number of particles (atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case, the particles are atoms of fluorine.

We will convert using dimensional analysis and set up a ratio using Avogadro's Number.

$\frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ F}{ 1 \ mol \ F}$

We are converting 4.8 × 10²³ fluorine atoms to moles, so we multiply the ratio by this number.

$4.8 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ F *\frac {6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ F}{ 1 \ mol \ F}$

Flip the ratio so the units of atoms of fluorine cancel each other out.

$4.8 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ F *\frac { 1 \ mol \ F}{6.022 \times 10^{23} \ atoms \ F}$

$4.8 \times 10^{23} *\frac { 1 \ mol \ F}{6.022 \times 10^{23} }$

Condense into 1 fraction.

$\frac { 4.8 \times 10^{23} }{6.022 \times 10^{23} } \ mol \ F$

Divide.

$0.7970773829 \ mol \ F$

The original measurement of atoms has 2 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found, that is the hundredths place. The 7 in the thousandths tells us to round the 9 in the hundredths place up to a 0. Then, we also have to round the 7 in the tenths place up to an 8.

$0.80 \ mol \ F$

4.8 × 10²³ fluorine atoms are equal to <u>0.80 moles of fluorine.</u>
