Explain, in terms of electrons, why the radius of a calcium ion is smaller than the radius of a calcium atom.

Chemistry

Because the calcium ion donates two electrons to achieve the stable state. So the layer of electrons decrease form 4 layers(2,8,8,2) to 3 layers(2,8,8). Thus, the radius of a calcium ion is smaller than a calcium atom.

A cell in the leaf of a corn plant contains more chloroplasts than a cell in the stem of a corn plant. Based on this observation
Alik [6]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A). synthesizes more sugar

B). has a higher chromosome count

C). produces fewer proteins

D). uses less carbon dioxide

The answer is A

Explanation:

The chloroplast is an organelle present in the cells of photosynthetic organisms. It is the site where photosynthesis, which is the production of food (sugars) from sunlight energy, occurs.

According to this question, a cell in the leaf of a corn plant contains more chloroplasts than a cell in the stem of the same corn plant. Based on this observation, it can be inferred that the LEAF CELLS WILL SYNTHESIZE MORE SUGARS THAN THE STEM CELL because the more the chloroplast, the higher the photosynthetic rate and subsequently the higher the amount of sugar produced.

How many moles of H atoms are in 15.2 grams of pure ice?
nikitadnepr [17]

The number of moles of H atoms in 15.2 grams of pure ice is 0.850 moles

The number of moles of O atoms in 15.2 grams of pure ice is 13.50 moles

<h3>What is an atom?</h3>

An atom is a smallest indivisible particle of a chemical element that is capable of independent existence.

  • Pure ice contains the H2O molecules and the molar mass of H2O is 18.02 g/mol

Using the relation:

  • number of moles = mass/molar mass

The number of moles of H2O = 15.2 grams/18.02 g/mol

number of moles of H2O = 0.8435 moles

If the atomic mass of H and O are as follow:

  • the atomic mass of H atom is = 1.00784 g/mol
  • the atomic mass of O atom is = 15.999 g/mol

Then:

the number of H atoms in 15.2 grams of pure ice = mass of H atom × molar mass of H2O.

the number of H atoms = 0.8435 mol × 1.00784 g/mol

the number of H atoms = 0.850 moles

the number of O atoms in 15.2 grams of pure ice = 0.8435 mol × 15.999 g/mol

the number of O atoms = 13.50 moles
