Answer: here’s the answer Atoms are neutral; they contain the same number of protons as electrons. By definition, an ion is an electrically charged particle produced by either removing electrons from a neutral atom to give a positive ion or adding electrons to a neutral atom to give a negative ion.

How is electronegativity related to covalent bonding?
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Atoms must have similar electronegativities in order to share electrons in a covalent bond.

Explanation:

Covalent bonding is one of the bondings that occurs between the atoms of elements. It is the bonding in which atoms share their valence electrons with one another. However, the ELECTRONEGATIVITY, which is the ability of an atom to be attracted to electrons play a major role in the formation of covalent bonds.

When atoms of different electronegativities combine, the more electronegative atom pulls more electrons towards itself, hence, an IONIC bond is formed. However, when the electronegativities of the atoms are similar, the sharing of their electrons becomes stronger. Hence, ATOMS MUST HAVE SIMILAR ELECTRONEGATIVITIES in order to share electrons in a covalent bond.

A bottle is partly filled with liquid water, sealed shut, and then placed under a heat lamp. The volume of the liquid water even
ANTONII [103]

Because the rate at which water vapour condenses gets increase slowly to get equal to the rate of evaporation of the water.

Explanation:

When a bottle is partly filled with liquid water is leaves space for vapours to escape and get condensed equally.

When sealed and kept below the lamp the rate of condensation increases due to the empty space in the bottle for getting vapours cool down.

A point arrives when evaporation equates the condensation of the liquid in bottle becomes stable because vapours cannot pass the bottle eventually condense and become liquid.

What is meant by the term neutral in relation to atoms?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

it means positive and negative charges are  equal.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

when a neutral atom loses a electron positive charge is created because  number of protons are positive charge becomes greater than negative charge.

X → X⁺ + e⁻

When a neutral atom accept  the electron negative charge is created because negative charge is become greater than positive charge.

X + e⁻ → X⁻

A gas occupies 3.5L at 2.5 kPa pressure. What is the volume at 100 mmHg at the same temperature? Be sure to
nasty-shy [4]

The volume at 100 mmHg : 0.656 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Boyle's Law  

<em>At a constant temperature, the gas volume is inversely proportional to the pressure applied  </em>

\rm p_1V_1=p_2.V_2\\\\\dfrac{p_1}{p_2}=\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}

V₁=3.5 L

P₁=2.5 kPa=18,7515 mmHg

P₂=100 mmHg

\tt \dfrac{18.7515}{100}=\dfrac{V_2}{3.5}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{18.7515\times 3.5}{100}=0.656~L
