The purpose for the "inert electrode" is quite obvious and also, it's spelled in it's name it's self. The purpose for this would be the first, "conduct electrons". This would be the purpose of this inert electrode, to conduct that electrons at the give time.

A.to create a solution of anions
B. to create a solution of cations
C.to conduct electrons
D. to conduct protons

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An inert electrode is defined as an electrode that releases electrons or which serves as a sink for electrons. An inert electrode does not participate chemically in the electrode reaction.

For example, in a voltaic cell anode is negatively charged and cathode is positively charged. So, electrons release from the anode and they get deposited on the cathode.

This leads to generation of electric current.

Therefore, we can conclude that the purpose of the inert electrode is to conduct electrons.

Number of neutrons.
The atomic number is a way of identifying elements so if the were all the same than that wouldn't work very well :)

Why is copper a popular mineral? Is it in danger of depletion? Use details to support your answer.

laila [671]

Answer:

yes it is a danger.Copper doesn't break down in the environment, leading to its accumulation in plants and animals. Absorption of some copper into the body is essential for human health. Acute industrial exposure to copper fumes, dusts or mists can result in chronic copper poisoning.Copper is a mineral and an element essential to our everyday lives. It is a major industrial metal because of its high ductility, malleability, thermal and electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion. It is an essential nutrient in our daily diet.

Which best characterizes a crystal

Pachacha [2.7K]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

A dense substance that is hard and incompressible

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Crystals are solids that are made up of particles such as molecules, atoms or ions, which are arrange in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice which extends in all directions.
Examples of crystals include quartz, that is made up of silicon (iV) oxide molecules that are arranged in a lattice,table salt is another example that is made up of sodium and chloride ions that are arranged in a lattice
Crystals are very ordered, they may be made up of atoms of the same elements or atoms of different elements such as in the case of table salt.

What is the overall charge of an ion Pat has 12 protons 10 electrons and 14 neutrons

Sav [38]

Answer:

The over all charge on atom will be +2.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

For example

X is the element having 12 protons 10 electrons and 14 neutrons.

The number of protons and electrons are not equal which means two electrons are lose by the given atom and it is present in the form of cation.

The over all charge on atom will be +2.
