Answer:

Neutral.

Explanation:

Protons have a positive charge. In this problem there are 12.

Electrons have a negative charge. In this problem there are 12.

Neutrons have a neutral charge that isn't relevant tot the overall charge, it can be ignored.

#protons - #e- = charge

12 - 12 = 0

The protons and electrons balance each other out, resulting in a 0 net charge. This means the atom has a neutral charge.

Which is a pure substance? soda gasoline salt water carbon dioxide

hram777 [196]

Answer: Carbon dioxide is a pure substance.

Explanation: A pure substance is defined when a substance has a single type of molecule. If more than 1 type of molecule is present in a substance, then it is considered as a mixture.

Soda is basically a mixture of water and carbon dioxide. More than 1 type of molecule is present.

Gasoline is a mixture of may gases. More than 1 type of molecule is present.

Salt water contains salt and water molecules, hence it is considered as a mixture.

Carbon dioxide has only 1 type of molecule which is $CO_2$ molecules. Hence, it is a pure substance.

The naturally occurring radioactive decay series that begins with 23592U stops with formation of the stable 20782Pb nucleus. The

dsp73

Answer: There are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series

Explanation:

Alpha Decay: In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. The mass number is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is reduced by 2 units.

Beta Decay : It is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron. This is also known as -decay. In this the mass number remains same but the atomic number is increased by 1.

In radioactive decay the sum of atomic number or mass number of reactants must be equal to the sum of atomic number or mass number of products .

$_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{82}^{207}\textrm{Pb}+X_2^4\alpha+Y_{-1}^0e$

Thus for mass number : 235 = 207+4X

4X= 28

X = 7

Thus for atomic number : 92 = 82+2X-Y

2X- Y = 10

2(7) - Y= 10

14-10 = Y

Y= 4

$_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{82}^{207}\textrm{Pb}+7_2^4\alpha+4_{-1}^0e$

Thus there are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series

An object has a mass of 4 grams and a volume of 2 cm^3.what is the density of the object?

stellarik [79]

Answer:

2.0 grams per cubic centimeter

Explanation:

(You can refer to the DMV triangle to help you solve this!)

Density = Mass/Volume

Density = 4.0g/2.0cm3

Density = 2.0g/cm3

Hope this helps!!!

How does electron repulsion in the outer shell cause anions to be larger than their atoms?

Alexeev081 [22]

The anion is also larger than the atom because of electron-electron repulsion. As more electrons are added to the outer shell, and even to higher principle energy levels, the repulsion bewteen the negatively charged particles grows, pushing the shells farther from the nucleus.
