WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF AN ATOM?

Chemistry
2 answers:
a_sh-v [17]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The characteristics are as follows:

-It is microscopic.

-It contains three sub atomic particles namely: electrons, protons and neutrons.

-It is the smallest unit of any substance (except for living bodies since smallest unit of them is cell).

-When seen from microscope atoms appear to be blur, spheres.

-They form ions(by losing or gaining electrons) and molecules(by combining with itself or other atoms).

<em><u>Hope this helps :)</u></em>

The balloon Spirit of Freedom, flown around the world by American Steve Fossett in 2002, contained 550,000 cubic feet of helium.
Elodia [21]
Assuming the balloon initially has volume of 0 when deflated, the total P(deltaV) = (1.00 atm)(550,000 ft^3) = 550,000 atm-ft^3. To convert into work units, we can first convert ft^3 to L:
(550,000 atm-ft^3)(1 m/3.28 ft)^3
= (15,586.2 atm-m^3)
Then we convert to L:
(15,586.2 atm-m^3)(1000 L/m^3)
= 15,586,200 atm-L
Then we convert to J:
(15,586,200 atm-L)(101.325 J / 1 atm-L)
= 1.579 x 10^9 J

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Velocity, because it has both magnitude and direction.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position in a specific direction. It has both magnitude and direction.

The family is travelling south at 105 km/h. This is an example of velocity, because it has magnitude (105 km/h) and direction (south).

A saline solution contains 1.1% NaCl by mass. How much NaCl is present in 96.3 g of this solution
timurjin [86]

Answer:

= 1.0593 g

Explanation:

1.1% NaCl by mass, means;

1.1 g per 100 g = 0.011

Therefore; the amount of NaCl present in 93.6 g of the solution is;

= 0.011 × 96.3 g

<u>= 1.0593 g</u>

How do atoms emit light ?
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The frequencies of light that an atom can emit are dependent on states the electrons can be in. When excited, an electron moves to a higher energy level or orbital. When the electron falls back to its ground level the light is emitted.

In a undisturbed layer, how do we know which layer was deposited first ?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

It's the bottom layer.  

Explanation:

Scientists use the Law of Superposition to determine the relative age of a layer of sedimentary rock:

The oldest rock layer is at the bottom of an undisturbed bed.

Thus, Layer A in the figure below was deposited first.
