An atom of Silver loses three electrons, what is its charge?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dovator [93]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

+3

Explanation:

If an atom loses electrons, it becomes positive. Because silver loses 3 electrons, the charge becomes positive 3.

An atom of chlorine with a mass number of 37 contains __ protons and __ neutrons.
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Its in the Explanation

Explanation:

Here's what I got.

Aluminium-27 is an isotope of aluminium characterized by the fact that is has a mass number equal to  

27

.

Now, an atom's mass number tells you the total number of protons and of neutrons that atom has in its nucleus. Since you're dealing with an isotope of aluminum, it follows that this atom must have the exact same number of protons in its nucleus.

The number of protons an atom has in its nucleus is given by the atomic number. A quick looks in the periodic table will show that aluminum has an atomic number equal to  

13

.

This means that any atom that is an isotope of aluminum will have  

13

protons in its nucleus.

Since you're dealing with a neutral atom, the number of electrons that surround the nucleus must be equal to the number of protons found in the nucleus.

Therefore, the aluminium-27 isotope will have  

13

electrons surrounding its nucleus.

Finally, use the known mass number to determine how many neutrons you have

mass number

=

no. of protons

+

no. of neutrons

no. of neutrons = 27 − 13 = 14

Write the half-reactions as they occur at each electrode and the net cell reaction for this electrochemical cell containing indi
AlexFokin [52]

Explanation:

The given cell reaction is as follows.

       In(s)| In^{3+}(aq) || Cd^{2+}(aq) | Cd(s)

Hence, reactions taking place at the cathode and anode are as follows.

At anode ; Oxidation-half reaction : In(s) \rightarrow In^{3+}(aq) + 3e^{-} ...... (1)

At cathode; Reduction-half reaction : Cd^{2+}(aq) + 2e^{-} \rightarrow Cd(s) ....... (2)

Hence, balance the half reactions by multiplying equation (1) by 2 and equation (2) by 3.

Therefore, net cell reaction is as follows.

      2In(s) \rightarrow 2In^{3+}(aq) + 6e^{-}

      3Cd^{2+}(aq) + 6e^{-} \rightarrow 3Cd(s)

Net reaction: 2In(s) + 3Cd^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow 2In^{3+}(aq) + 3Cd(s)

Thus, we can conclude that the overall cell reaction is as follows.

        2In(s) + 3Cd^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow 2In^{3+}(aq) + 3Cd(s)

A hydrogen atom requires a minimum energy of 2.18×10^-18 J atom to remove an electron from its ground state level. Determine whe
frosja888 [35]
Just find the energy of the <span>blueviolet light with a wavelength of 434.0 nm using the formula:

E  = hc / lambda

E = energy
c= speed of light =  3 x 10^8 m/s
h = planck's constant =  6.6 x 10^{-34}  m^2 kg / s
lambda =  434 nm =  434 x 10^{-9} m

Putting these values (with appropriate units) in the above formula :

we get:  Energy, E = 4.5 x 10^{-19} J

E = 0.45 x 10^{-18} J

Now, the </span>minimum energy is 2.18×10^-{18} J but our energy is 0.45 x 10^{-18} J which is less.
<span>Means the electron will not be removed

A single electron configuration can represent multiple atoms. The one below represents the following atoms with different charge
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

To have the electronic configuration equal to 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d⁷, the chemical element must have an electrical charge equal to 27, that is, it must have 27 electrons, such as Cobalt (Co), for example.

Explanation:

The electronic configuration shown in the question above is known as the Linus Pauling distribution and represents the energy sub-levels that an electrically charged atom can have in relation to the amount of electrons it has.

The layers sub-levels are presented in the following order 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹º 4p⁶ 5s² 4d¹º 5p⁶ 6s² 4f14 5d¹º 6p⁶ 7s² 5f14 6d¹º 7p⁶. Where the small numbers represent the number of electrons in each sub-level and the large numbers represent the layers of electronic distribution.

Accordingly, we can see that an atom that has the configuration 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d⁷ has 27 electrons, like Cobalt.
