Answer: An electron is a particle with a negative charge, found outside the nucleus.

Explanation: In an atom, there is a nucleus in the center that has protons and neutrons. Mostly the mass of an atom is the sum of masses of protons and neutrons.  Protons are positively charged ions and neutrons are neutral.

Electrons are present around the nucleus(outside the nucleus) in different energy shells. An electron has negative charge and gain or loss of electrons is the cause of chemical reactions.

Number of protons equals to the atomic number of an atom. Number of electrons is also same to the number of protons for a neutral atom where as the difference of mass number and protons is the number of neutrons.

For the following species, draw a Lewis structure for one important resonance form. Include all lone pair electrons and assign f
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The Lewis structures are shown in the figure

Explanation:

The lewis structure will be drawn using following steps

i) we will calculate the total number of valence electrons in the molecule

ii) will assign one bond (two electrons in between two atoms)

iii) then distribute the rest of the valence electrons as lone pair or shared pair based on completion of octet.

The structure of each molecule is given in the figure.

Valence electrons:

NO_{2}^{+}

V.E = 5 +(2)6-1=16

NO_{2}F

V.E =5 +(2)6+7=24

How did thompson know the charge of the particle he discovered was negative?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

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.

He constructed the glass tube and create vacuum in it. He applied electric current between electrodes. He noticed that a ray of particles coming from cathode to wards positively charged anode. This ray was cathode ray.

Properties of cathode ray:

The ray is travel in straight line.

The cathode ray is independent of composition of cathode.

When electric field is applied cathode ray is deflected towards the positively charged plate.

Hence it was consist of negatively charged particles.

How many electrons are shared by a triple <br> bond?
alekssr [168]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

6 electrons

Every covalent bond is a sharing of two electrons between two atoms. A double bond is 4 electrons being shared (2x2). Therefore a triple bond is 6 electrons being shared (2x3). Hope this helps!
