Why a neutral atom has the same number of protons and electrons

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alex777 [14]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. ... Chemically, we say that the atoms have formed bonds.

The acid-dissociation constant of hydrocyanic acid (hcn) at 25.0 °c is 4.9 ⋅ 10−10. what is the ph of an aqueous solution of 0.0
vodomira [7]
According to the reaction equation:

and by using ICE table:

              CN-  + H2O ↔ HCN  + OH- 

initial  0.08                        0          0

change -X                        +X          +X

Equ    (0.08-X)                    X            X

so from the equilibrium equation, we can get Ka expression

when Ka = [HCN] [OH-]/[CN-]

when Ka = Kw/Kb

               = (1 x 10^-14) / (4.9 x 10^-10)

               = 2 x 10^-5

So, by substitution:

2 x 10^-5 = X^2 / (0.08 - X)

X= 0.0013

∴ [OH] = X = 0.0013 

∴ POH = -㏒[OH]

            = -㏒0.0013

            = 2.886 

∴ PH = 14 - POH

         = 14 - 2.886 = 11.11

Ethane is an alkane having two carbon atoms bound to hydrogen atoms. Recall what you have learned about the tetravalent nature o
svlad2 [7]
The molecule for ethane is C2H6. or CH3-CH3. 

Carbon LOVES hydrogen. If possible, Carbon would have four bonds attach to hydrogens. IN this molecule, one of the bond is used to attach a carbon to another carbon, so instead of 4 hydrogens, each carbon would have 3 hydrogens..

Water vapor is not usually seen.
xeze [42]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Water vapor is totally invisible.

Without it, there would be no clouds or rain or snow, since all of these require water vapor in order to form. All of the water vapor that evaporates from the surface of the Earth eventually returns as precipitation - rain or snow.
