The existence of an atom was first suggested by Democritus, the idea is then developed in 1803 by John Dalton.
According to Dalton's atomic theory, matter is made up of atoms which are inseparable and can not be destroyed further. For a given element, all atoms have identical mass and properties. Atoms of two different elements combine to form compounds and rearrangement of these atoms results in chemical reaction.
Explanation:
Given problem:
Find the molar mass of:
SO₃ and C₁₀H₈
Solution:
The molar mass of a compound is the mass in grams of one mole of the substance.
To solve this, we are going to add the individual atomic masses of the elements in the compound;
Atomic mass;
S = 32g/mol; O = 16g/mol; C = 12g/mol and H = 1g/mol
For SO₃;
= 32 + 3(16)
= 32 + 48
= 80g/mol
For C₁₀H₈
= 10(12) + 8(1)
= 120 + 8
= 128g/mol
15 is the group that phosphorus is found in.
Answer:
Between oxygen and selenium, oxygen is more electronegative because of more ionisation energy and small size
Explanation:
The valence electrons are the parts of an atom that make interactions and make chemical bonds.
Every atom is made of three different components, a positively charged proton, neutrally charged neutron and negatively charged electron. The protons and the neutrons make up the atom's core and the electrons orbit around that core.
The electrons that orbit around the atom's core in its outer-most orbit (the one that is the furthest from the atom's core) can interact with electrons of other atoms, forming different kinds of chemical bonds.
If there is an exchange of the electrons (one atom donates its electrons to another atom), that results in forming of ions, then those two atoms can be linked in an ionic bond.
If an electron is shared between two atoms, then that bond is called a covalent bond.
