Water is molecule formed by the covalent bonding of two atoms of hydrogen with one atom of oxygen. The chemical and physical properties of water are different from each of it's constituent elements Oxygen and Hydrogen. The properties of a drop of water will depend on the simplest unit of water, which is the water molecule H_{2}O. Therefore, the smallest unit of the water drop that retains all the physical and chemical properties exhibited by a sample of water is the molecule.

What are the fields of science??
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Life science is alternatively known as biology, and physical science is subdivided into branches: physics, chemistry, astronomy and Earth science. These branches of natural science may be further divided into more specialized branches. But that is more writting to explain

Complete and balance the following redox reaction in basic solution
inn [45]

Answer:

balanced in ACID not BASE

Cr2O7^2-(aq) +3Hg(l) +14 H^1+ ----> 3Hg^2+ + 2Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O

Answer

Cr2O7^2-(aq) +3Hg(l) +14 H^1+ ----> 3Hg^2+ + 2Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O

Explanation:

Cr2O7^2-(aq) + Hg(l) ----> Hg^2+(aqH) + Cr^3+(aq)

add H^1+ (acid) to capture the O and make 7 water molecules

Cr2O7^2-(aq) + Hg(l) + H^1+ ----> Hg^2+(aqH) + Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O

Cr goes from +6 to +3 by gaining 3 e

Hg goes from 0 to +2 by losing 2 e

we need 3 Hg for every 2 Cr

so

Cr2O7^2-(aq) +3Hg(l) +14 H^1+ ----> 3Hg^2+ + 2Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O

2 Cr on the right and left

Net 12 positive charges on the right and the left

3 Hg on the right and left

14 H on the right and left

the equation is balanced

we cannot balance the equation in a basic solution with OH^1-

we have plenty of O in the dichromate ion. we need to convert it to water which take free H^1+ from the acid

What is the difference between an atom and an element?
Travka [436]

Answer:

A particular atom will have the same number of protons and electrons and most atoms have at least as many neutrons as protons. An element is a substance that is made entirely from one type of atom

Explanation:

so In simple terms an atom contains Protons and Electrons and can be found in an Element, but an element comprises of atoms which come together to form up that particular Element
