The statement that describes the distribution of charge in an atom is   \boxed{\left({\text{3}}\right){\text{ A positively charged nucleus is surrounded by one or more negatively charged electrons}}}

Further explanation:

The smallest particle that is the building block of matter is known as an atom. Most of the space in an atom is empty, and its mass is concentrated inside a small region called the nucleus.

Protons, electrons, and neutrons are the three subatomic particles that are present in the atom. The sum of protons and neutrons are called nucleons because these are located in the nucleus of the atom. Electrons revolve around the nucleus in definite orbits. The positively charged subatomic particle is called proton. Neutron is a subatomic particle that has no charge. Electron is the negatively charged subatomic particle. The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom.

As we know, the nucleus consists of protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged whereas neutrons are neutral and therefore the overall charge on the nucleus becomes positive. Electrons are negatively charged species. These revolve around the nucleus in circular orbits. So a positively charged nucleus is surrounded by one or more negatively charged electrons. Hence statement (3) is correct, and the statement (1), (2) and (4) are incorrect.

The correct answer is:

A positively charged nucleus is surrounded by one or more negatively charged electrons

The explanation:

when:

proton is a positively charged elementary particle that is a fundamental constituent of all atomic nuclei.

neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of every atom except that of simple hydrogen. The particle derives its name from the fact that it has no electrical charge

electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle. It can be either free (not attached to any atom), or bound to the nucleus of an atom .  

so, , there are positively charged protons and zero-charged neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. Therefore, the nucleus is positively charged, Surrounding the nucleus, the electrons have negative charge. 

Thus, the correct answer is (3): A positively charged nucleus is surrounded by one or more negatively charged electrons is correct.

lesya692 [45]

Answer: The mass of lead deposited on the cathode of the battery is 1.523 g.

Explanation:

Given: Current = 62.0 A

Time = 23.0 sec

Formula used to calculate charge is as follows.

Q = I \times t

where,

Q = charge

I = current

t = time

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

Q = I \times t\\= 62.0 A \times 23.0 sec\\= 1426 C

It is known that 1 mole of a substance tends to deposit a charge of 96500 C. Therefore, number of moles obtained by 1426 C of charge is as follows.

Moles = \frac{1426 C}{96500 C/mol}\\= 0.0147 mol

The oxidation state of Pb in PbSO_{4} is 2. So, moles deposited by Pb is as follows.

Moles of Pb = \frac{0.0147}{2}\\= 0.00735 mol

It is known that molar mass of lead (Pb) is 207.2 g/mol. Now, mass of lead is calculated as follows.

No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\ 0.00735 = \frac{mass}{207.2 g/mol}\\mass = 1.523 g

Thus, we can conclude that the mass of lead deposited on the cathode of the battery is 1.523 g.

An insulator,
Sedaia [141]
Hey there !

The answer would be C. Is when electrons cannot nice through objects easily.

Any material that keeps energy such as electricity, heat, or cold from easily transferring through is an insulator. Wood, plastic, rubber, and glass are good insulators.

Hope this helps !

Answer:

  C  The experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

Explanation:

Apparently, adding heat caused the red substance to decompose into a gas and a metallic liquid. If it were simply a phase change, the original red substance could be expected to return when the temperature cooled. Because the substance apparently decomposed, it is clearly not an element. At no point in the experiment is there any evidence of a plasma being formed.

The observed decomposition is a chemical change.
