The Molecule of Sodium Formate along with Formal Charges (in blue) and lone pair electrons (in red) is attached below.
Sodium Formate is an ionic compound made up of a positive part (Sodium Ion) and a polyatomic anion (Formate).
Nomenclature:
In ionic compounds the positive part is named first. As sodium ion is the positive part hence, it is named first followed by the negative part i.e. formate.
Name of Formate:
Formate ion has been derived from formic acid ( the simplest carboxylic acid). When carboxylic acids looses the acidic proton of -COOH, they are converted into Carboxylate ions.
E.g.
HCOOH (formic acid) → HCOO⁻ (formate) + H⁺
H₃CCOOH (acetic acid) → H₃CCOO⁻ (acetate) + H⁺
Formal Charges:
Formal charges are calculated using following formula,
F.C = [# of Valence e⁻] - [e⁻ in lone pairs + 1/2 # of bonding electrons]
For Oxygen:
F.C = [6] - [6 + 2/2]
F.C = [6] - [6 + 1]
F.C = 6 - 7
F.C = -1
For Sodium:
F.C = [1] - [0 + 0/2]
F.C = [1] - [0]
F.C = 1 - 0
F.C = +1
Alpha particles, also called alpha ray or alpha radiation, consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a <u>helium-4 nucleus. </u>They are generally produced in the process of alpha decay, but may also be produced in other ways.

Mass: 6.644657230(82)×10−27 kg; 4.0015061...
Electric charge: +2 e
Symbol: α, α2+, He2+
To solve this problem, let us first understand what does
mega meters mean. Now by definition, mega means a factor of one million which
is a unit prefix in Metric Systems of units. It is denoted by the unit symbol
M.
So for example if we have a mega of something, it means a
million of something. So in this case, if we have 1 mega meter, what it means
is 1 million meter, which is written as:
1 mega meter = 1,000,000 meter
To show the decimal points:
1.0 mega meter = 1,000,000.0 meter
So we see that the decimal point move 6 zeroes to the
right, therefore the direction is to the right.
Answer:
<span>6 places to the right</span>
Answer:
What led him to change his outlook was because in his experiment, when he fired positively charged alpha particles at a piece of gold foil, he observed that some of the alpha particles were deflected to some degree, and some others bounced back directly toward him.
Explanation:
In his experiment, he fired positively charged alpha particles at a piece of gold foil.
Now, after doing that he observed that some of the alpha particles were deflected to some degree, and some others bounced back directly toward him.
After those observations, he felt that for the order of the alpha particles to have been deflected, they would possibly have been hit or come close to being hit by a positively charged particle in the atom. This made him to conclude that an atom consists mostly of empty space, with a very small and dense but positively charged nucleus at the center. And that this nucleus contains most of the mass of the atom, while the electrons orbit the nucleus.
