Why electrons don't spiral into atomic nuclei is best explained by their?

Chemistry

Firlakuza [10]3 years ago

Electrons are negatively charged particles while protons that are found in the nucleus are positively charged. In the natural scheme of things, positive and negative charge produces an attractive force that pulls one particle towards the other. However, based on Rutherford's model of an atom, which is the planetary model that conclusively suggests that electrons revolve around the nucleus, such attraction between the two opposing particles creates an electromagnetic force that enables electrons to move around the positive nucleus thus preventing the electrons from spiraling towards it.

Answer:

See detailed answer with explanation below.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are electrons found on the outermost shell of an atom. They are the electrons in an atom that participate in chemical combination. Recall that the outermost shell of an atom is also referred to as its valence shell. Let us consider an example; if we look at the atom, sodium-11, its electronic configuration is 2,8,1. The last one electron is the valence electron of sodium which is found in its outermost or valence shell.

Positive ions are formed when electrons are lost from the valence shell of an atom. For instance, if the outermost electron in sodium is lost, we now form the sodium ion Na^+ which is a positive ion. Positive ions possess less number of electrons compared to their corresponding atoms.

Negative ions are formed when one or more electrons is added to the valence shell of an atom. A negative ion possesses more electrons than its corresponding atom. For example, chlorine(Cl) contains 17 electrons but the chloride ion (Cl^-) contains 18 electrons.

In molecular compounds, a bond is formed when two electrons are shared between the bonding atoms. Each bonding atom may contribute one of the shared electrons (ordinary covalent bond) or one of the bonding atoms may provide the both shared electrons (coordinate covalent bond). The shared pair may be located at an equidistant position to the nucleus of both atoms. Similarly, the electron may be drawn closer to the nucleus of one atom than the other (polar covalent bond) depending on the electro negativity of the two bonding atoms.

The electrons are shared in order to complete the octet of each atom by so doing, the both bonding atoms now obey the octet rule. For example, two chlorine atoms may come together to form a covalent bond in which each chlorine atom has an octet of electrons on its outermost shell.

What is the electronegativity difference for a bond between potassium and iodine? A. 3.3 B. 4.6 C. 0.4 D. 1.7
user100 [1]
Iodine has an electronegativity of 2.5, and potassium has an electronegativity of 0.8, so the difference is:
2.5 - 0.8 = 1.7

0.415 g of an unknown triprotic acid are used to make a 100.00 mL solution. Then 25.00 mL of this solution is transferred to an
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial burette reading = 1.81 mL

final burette reading = 39.7 mL

volume of NaOH used = 39.7 - 1.81 = 37.89 mL .  

37.89 mL of .1029 M NaOH is used to neutralise triprotic acid

No of moles contained by 37.89 mL of .1029 M NaOH

= .03789 x .1029 moles

= 3.89 x 10⁻³ moles

Since acid is triprotic ,  its equivalent weight = molecular weight / 3

No of moles of triprotic acid = 3.89 x 10⁻³ / 3

= 1.30   x 10⁻³ moles .

A compound has an empirical formula of AB and a molar mass of 90 g/mol. What is its
Lelu [443]

Answer:

A3B3

Explanation:

Molecular formula = n x empirical formula

(AB) n = 90

MM of AB = 30 g/mol

30n = 90

Divide both side by the coefficient n i.e 30

n = 90/30 = 3

Molecular formula = n x empirical formula

Molecular formula = n x (AB)

Molecular formula = 3(AB) = A3B3
