is a cation or anion. In the second row, write the symbol for the ion that an atom of fluorine is mostly likely to form and then
enot [183]

Answer:

An anion

Explanation:

An ion of flourine wife form an anion. What is an anion? An anion is a negatively charged atom.It occurs as a result of gain of electron by an atom to stabilize it's octet structure.

This is a common phenomenon for non metals and halogens are a good example of that which are strongly electronegative with electronic configuration of 2,7......

Most elements will have the same number as what?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

An element's atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nuclei of any of its atoms. The mass number of an atom is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the atom. Isotopes are atoms of the same element (same number of protons) that have different numbers of neutrons in their atomic nuclei

Describe your understanding of atoms and their subatomatic particles
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Atom is the building block of matter. The atom itself made up of subatomic particles electron, proton and neutron.

Explanation:

Long time ago, Greek philosopher thoughts that matter can be divided into smaller particles until a point is reached when the basic unit is obtained which can not be further sub divided. A Greek philosopher Democritus called these basic units "Atom".

Later on modern research showed that atom could be divided into smaller particles electron, proton and neutron. These smaller particles are called sub-atomic particles of atom.

Atoms are the fundamental unit of matter. Every thing in the universe that occupy space and have mass is called matter. we can say that every matter is composed of atoms. while the atom is composed of subatomic particles called electron proton and neutron.

Electron:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol = e-

Mass= 9.10938356×10-31 Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

Proton and Neutron:

An atom consist of positively charged central core (nucleus) that is made up of Proton and neutron.  Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P+  

Symbol of neutron= n0  

Mass of proton=1.672623×10-27 Kg

Mass of neutron=1.674929×10-27 Kg

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.

What kind of intermolecular forces act between two ammonia molecules
iragen [17]

Answer:

extensive hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

The high boiling points of water, hydrogen fluoride (HF) and ammonia (NH3) is an effect of the extensive hydrogen bonding between the molecules. The London dispersion force is caused by random and temporary changes in the polarity of atoms, caused by the location of the electrons in the atoms' orbitals.

Hope this helps :)
