How do atoms form a new substance

Chemistry
1 answer:
inessss [21]4 years ago

Atoms form a new substance by bonding with different atoms.

For example, hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms bond to form H2O as per this equation:

2H2 + O2 ---> 2 H2O

To understand how to hydrogen and oxygen atoms form water you can write that as:

2 H - H + O - O ---> 2 H - O - H

Each hypen represent a chemical bond.

What is happening is that the H - H atoms and the O - O separate and  bond with different atoms: H bonds to O which in turn bonds to other H.

Also, you have to know that chemical bonds are the result of interaction between the electrons of the valence shell of electrons of each atom. This is,  valence electrons from O interact with valence electrons of H to form the bond H - O.

The interaction may be in different ways depending on the properties of the atoms: the kind of bonds known are metallic, ionic and covalent.

Identify the Lewis acid and Lewis base in each reaction:Na⁺ + 6H₂O ⇆ Na (H₂O)⁺₆
klemol [59]

In the reaction, Na⁺ + 6H₂O ⇆ Na (H₂O)⁺₆, Na⁺ is a Lewis acid and H₂O is a Lewis base.

<h3>What is a Lewis acid-base reaction?</h3>
  • According to the Lewis theory of acid-base reactions, acids accept pairs of electrons and bases donate pairs of electrons.
  • Any substance like H+ ion, which is capable of accepting a pair of nonbonding electrons or an electron-pair acceptor is known as a Lewis acid.
  • Any substance, like the OH- ion, that is capable of donating a pair of nonbonding electrons or an electron-pair donor is a Lewis base.
  • Here Na⁺ that is electron deficient accepts electrons from the electron donor, H₂O
  • From the Lewis theory, with no change in the oxidation numbers of any atoms, acids react with bases to share a pair of electrons.

put the contributions to the understanding of the atomic structure in order from most recent at the top to the earliest at the b
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

From Top to Bottom:

- Democritus coming up with the concept of an atom

- Dalton discovering that atoms are the smallest part of an element

- Rutherford discovering the nucleus of an atom

- Thomson discovering electrons

- Bohr modeling electrons orbiting the nucleus

- Schrodinger modeling electrons in the electron cloud

Explanation:

The best way to think about this is from the inside out. Democrats (who lived long before any of the other scientists mentioned) was the one who thought of the idea of the atom. - Therefore, this must be first because all other choices are elaborations on the idea that atoms exist. Next must be Dalton. Dalton saw atoms as "cannonballs" if you will; a solid mass. So then after that, Rutherford and his gold foil experiment (he discovered that some rays he shot through gold foil were deflected back; ie the existence of concentrated areas in an atom, ie the nucleus). Then we get into the information on electrons. We must start with discovery (Thomson). Heres where it gets complicated. Electrons don't <em>actually </em>orbit the nucleus, they exist in electron clouds. So it would be Bohr, who came up with the idea that electron exist outside the nucleus, then Schrodinger, who elaborated on Bohr's theory. Hope this helps!

A 9.79 mol sample of freon gas was placed in a balloon. Adding 3.50 mol of freon gas to the balloon increased its volume to 21.8
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

16.06 L was the initial volume of the balloon.

Explanation:

Initial moles of freon in ballon = n_1=9.79 mol

Initial volume of freon gas in ballon = V_1=?

Moles of freon gas added in the balloon = n = 3.50 mole

Final moles of freon in ballon = n_2=n_1+n=9.79 mol+3.50 mol=13.29 mol

Final volume of freon gas in ballon = V_2=21.8 L

Using Avogadro's law:

\frac{V_1}{n_1}=\frac{V_2}{n_2} ( at constant pressure and temperature)

V_1=\frac{V_2\times n_1}{n_2}=\frac{21.8 L\times 9.79 mol}{13.29 mol}=16.06L

16.06 L was the initial volume of the balloon.

What do acids feel like
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

In fact, some strong bases can burn the skin as badly as strong acids. Bases feel soapy or slippery because they react with acidic molecules in your skin called fatty acids. ... Like acids, bases change the colors of acid-base indicators, but the colors they produce are different. Bases turn litmus paper blue.
