An atom has 3 protons, two electrons and 1 neutrons. Describe this atom using as many vocabulary words

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: This is a very unstable atom. It is a cation, meaning it is positively charged. This atom doesn't have an equal amount of neutrons to protons, so it is extremely unstable. It has a charge of +1 because it is missing a negatively charged particle, making a positive charge.

A compound is found to contain 38.65 % carbon, 16.25 % hydrogen, and 45.09 % nitrogen by mass. what is the empirical formula for

iren [92.7K]

The molar mass of carbon is 12, hydrogen is 1, and nitrogen is 14, hence the ratio are:

C = 38.65 / 12 = 3.22

H = 16.25 / 1 = 16.25

N = 45.09 / 14 = 3.22

Divide the three by the lowest ratio which is 3.22:

C = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1

H = 16.25 / 3.22 = 5

N = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1
