The periodic table is arranged in a way so that with each step the number of protons in the nucleus is increased by 1. It makes it for an easy choice to designate elements with numbers - atomic numbers, because in that case atomic number shows the number of protons possessed by the nucleus. Like this:
H has 1 proton
He has 2 protons
Li has 3 protons
Be has 4 protons and so on
Each proton has a charge of +1. The other particle present in the nucleus - the neutron - has zero electrical charge and thus irrelevant when computing the charge of a nucleus. It is easy to deduce that the nucleus charge equals the number of protons (which in turn equals the atomic number). So the nucleus charges are:
for H it's+1
for He it's +2
for Li it's +3
for Be it's +4 and so on
Atom is an electroneutral particle by definition. It means it's summed charge must be 0. Since we've looked at everything within the nucleus (the protons and the neutrons) it's time we turn our gaze to the space around it, which is full of orbiting electrons. Each electron has a charge of -1. To make up for the positive charge in the nucleus you have to fill the space aroung the nucleus with negative electrons.Thanks to the elementary nature of both proton and electron charge, you simply have to take the same number of electrons as that of protons! Like this:
H has 1 proton and 1 electron
He has 2 protons and 2 electrons
Li has 3 protons and 3 electrons
Be has 4 protons and 4 electrons and so on
Fe has atomic number 26. It means that Fe has 26 protons and 26 electrons. If it's a neutral atom
You typed 3. Is it accidental? If so, then the answer is above. If not, then you could be trying to type 56Fe +3, which means an ionic iron with charge +3. Charges are formed when you have too many or too few electrons to counter-balance the prositive charge of the nucleus. Charge +3 means you're 3 electrons short to negate the nucleus positive charge.
In other words, Fe+3 has 26 protons and 23 electrons.
Answer: Ions are formed by the addition of electrons to, or the removal of electrons from, neutral atoms or molecules or other ions; by combination of ions with other particles; or by rupture of a covalent bond between two atoms in such a way that both of the electrons of the bond are left in association with one of the ...
Answer:
Based on the Modern Periodic table, there is an increase in the electropositivity of the atom down the group as well as increases across a period. On comparing the electropositivities of the mentioned oxides central atom, it is seen that Ca is most electropositive followed by Al, Si, C, P, and S is the least electropositive.
With the decrease in the electropositivity, there is an increase in the acidity of the oxides. Thus, the increasing order of the oxides from the least acidic to the most acidic is:
CaO > Al2O3 > SiO2 > CO2 > P2O5 > SO3. Hence, CaO is the least acidic and SO3 is the most acidic.
Answer:
Work
Explanation:
Work is defined as the ability to use energy in one second and its SI unit is same as energy that is joule.
Work refers to the energy utilized to displace an object over a distance by an external force in one direction and in given time period which can be one second as well.
Hence, the correct answer is "work".
Answer:
Explanation:
a. the salt produced would be Mg3N2(magnesium nitride)
b. magnesium loses 2 electron to form Mg2+ ion and nitrogen gains 3 electron to form n3-
when several of these ions come together 3 Mg2+ ion combine with 2 n3- ion to form Mg3N2 thus Mg getting six electron from nitrogen to form a ionic bond.
c. the reaction is not balanced Mg + N2 = Mg3n2
to make it balanced the reaction should be 3 Mg + N2 = Mg3N2.
the reaction was not balanced before because the number of Mg on both side of the reaction was not equal.
d. magnesium nitrate has formula Mg(NO3)2 is formed when Mg combines with nitrogen and oxygen Mg + N2 + o2
