The answer to this question would be: electron

When atoms bind together, that mean they shared at least one electron. The electron is located on the outer side of the atoms so the electron from an atom can collide with other electrons from another atom. The protons and neutron can't make bind because it was in the middle of the atom and won't collide each other.

Answer : Electrons.

Explanation : The subatomic particle which is responsible for combining the atoms together to form a new substance is ELECTRON.

Electrons are negatively charged tiny particles which are found outside the nucleus and is one of the three subatomic particles. These are responsible for formation of new substance through transfer or sharing of electrons between the atoms of the elements. Mainly the outermost revolving electrons are the ones which undergoes transformation and forms new substance. It influences many physical and chemical properties of the substances.

Which source of water pollution would be the hardest to trace and control?

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Nonpoint pollution is harder to control

Explanation:

Nonpoint pollution is harder to control because they include runoff from farms, golf courses, construction sites, roads. Whereas the single origin of the pollution is harder to trace.

Describe the changes that earths atmosphere has gone to overtime

irakobra [83]

Answer:

Over a vast amount of time, millions of years, the earth gradually cooled. When the temperature dropped enough, water vapor condensed and went from a gas to liquid form. This created clouds. From these clouds, the oceans formed and the oceans absorbed a lot of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Why does magnesium oxide have a high melting point?

Mandarinka [93]

Magnesium oxide is an ionic compound ( because it consists of a metal and a non-metal)

In ionic compounds, electrons from the outer shell exchange between the atoms so that they each get a full outer shell. Once these electrons are exchange, the atoms will become ions. One ion will have a positive charge, and the other ion will have a negative charge. The positive and negative ions then bond strongly together in a lattice structure, due to the electrostatic forces of attraction.

These electrostatic forces of attraction are very strong and require a lot of energy to break, as such the compound will have a high melting point.

__________________________________________

Now lets look at the ionic bonding between magnesium and oxygen:

In the outer shell of Magnesium, there are 2 electrons.

In the outer shell Oxygen, there are 6 electrons.

Magnesium gives it's two electrons to Oxygen, so that the Oxygen now has a full outer shell of 8 electrons. However, since Oxygen gained two electrons, it will form a negatively charged ion with a charge of -2.

Since Magnesium lost the two electrons, it's second shell (which has 8 eletrons) now becomes the outer shell. So Magnesium also now has a full outer shell. But since it has lost two electrons, it becomes a positively charged ion with a charge of + 2.

The positive Magnesium ion and negative Oxygen ion and now strongly attracted to each other, and form a strong ionic compound (magnesium oxide) with a lattice structure.

The electrostatic forces of attraction between the positive Magnesium and negative Oxygen are so strong that a lot of heat and energy are needed to break them.

Therefore magnesium oxide has a high melting point.
