Answer:

the reason why Mars is red is because of its regolith, or surface material, contains lots of iron oxide — the same compound that gives blood and rust their hue

Question 15 (1 point)
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Atoms are electrically neutral because the number of protons, which carry a 1+ charge, in the nucleus of an atom is equal to the number of electrons, which carry a 1- charge, in the atom. The result is that the total positive charge of the protons cancels out the total negative charge of the electrons so that the net charge of the atom is zero. Most atoms, however, can either gain or lose electrons; when they do so, the number of electrons becomes different from the number of protons in the nucleus. The resulting charged species is called an ion.

Cations and anions

When a neutral atom loses one or more electrons, the total number of electrons decreases while the number of protons in the nucleus remains the same. The result is that the atom becomes a cation—an ion with a net positive charge.

The opposite process can also occur. When a neutral atom gains one or more electrons, the number of electrons increases while the number of protons in the nucleus remains the same. The result is that the atom becomes an anion—an ion with a net negative charge. We can illustrate this by examining some very simple cations and anions, those formed when a single hydrogen atom loses or gains an electron.

Note: Hydrogen is actually somewhat unusual in that it readily forms both cations and anions. Most elements much prefer to form only one or the other. In terms of its electron configuration, can you explain why hydrogen can form both cations and anions? Feel free to post in the comments at the end of the article!

In the center column, we have a diagram of a single, neutral hydrogen atom. It contains one proton and one electron; thus, its net charge is zero. If hydrogen loses its electron, it forms the cation \text{H}^+H

start text, H, end text, start superscript, plus, end superscript cation has a net charge of 1+ from the one proton in the nucleus since there are no electrons to cancel out the positive charge. If neutral hydrogen gains an electron, it forms the anion \text{H}^-H

start text, H, end text, start superscript, minus, end superscript anion has a net charge of 1- because it has one extra electron compared to the total number of protons.

]If a sample of pure iodine contains 4.69 x 1022 atoms of iodine, how many moles of iodine are in the sample? A=0.08 B=0.13 C=7.
Lorico [155]
It is B, and also for a moment I didn't understand that 4.69 x 10^22. I almost did this whole problem wrong.
