Atoms are considered the smallest particles of an element because they are the basic unit. They cannot be broken down into any smaller substance.

They are considered the smallest part of an element because when you break down an element into smaller and smaller parts, theoretically when you reach thed smallest part and you cant break it any more, it will be one atom of whatever element you are breaking down.

Answer:

<h2>Physical properties: H2SO4 is a colorless or slightly yellow viscous liquid with a pungent odor. It has a density of 1.84 g/mL, boiling point of 337 °C, and melting point of 10 °C. "Concentrated" sulfuric acid is 98% in water, and is the most stable form.</h2>

Within a particular compound, an atom gives up two electrons. This atom is
lys-0071 [83]
It is a positively charges because when an atom gives up electrons it becomes positively charges. Think of it like this.....its being generous so it deserves to be a positive person. ;D. 
It cant be A. because a covalent bond only shares and doesn't give up electrons. Our answer must be an ion.
Its not negatively charged because it didn't gain any.

So our answer is B. positively charged

An iron block of mass 18 kg is heated from 285 K to 318 K. If 267.3 kJ is required, what is the specific heat of iron?
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

D. 450 J/kgK

Explanation:

Using the formula as follows:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where:

Q = amount of heat absorbed/released (J)

m = mass of substance (g)

c = specific heat capacity

∆T = change in temperature (°C)

According to the information provided in this question:

Q = 267.3 kJ = 267300J

m = 18kg

∆T = 318K - 285K = 33K

c = ?

Q = m × c × ∆T

c = Q ÷ m∆T

c = 267300 ÷ 18 × 33

c = 267300 ÷ 594

c = 450 J/kgK

Suppose the carbon and oxygen react according to the equation: o2 + 2c = 2co. if you started with sixty oxygen molecules (60o2)
dsp73
O2 +2C=2CO

from equation  for 1 molecule O2 is needed 2 molecules C, and we get 2 molecules of CO

ratio O2:2C=1:2 
so for 60  atoms of carbon we need only 30 molecules of oxygen.
and from 60 atoms of carbon we get 60 molecules of CO, because from 2 atoms of C we get 2 molecules of CO
