Which parts of atoms can interact (react) to form chemical bonds?

1 answer:

3 0

The valence electrons are the parts of an atom that make interactions and make chemical bonds.
Every atom is made of three different components, a positively charged proton, neutrally charged neutron and negatively charged electron. The protons and the neutrons make up the atom's core and the electrons orbit around that core.
The electrons that orbit around the atom's core in its outer-most orbit (the one that is the furthest from the atom's core) can interact with electrons of other atoms, forming different kinds of chemical bonds.
If there is an exchange of the electrons (one atom donates its electrons to another atom), that results in forming of ions, then those two atoms can be linked in an ionic bond.
If an electron is shared between two atoms, then that bond is called a covalent bond.

Answer:

C. it is a strong acid since the blue litmus paper turns red and the pH is 1.7

Explanation:

As per table gastric juice has pH of 1.7 which is the strong acid. If you remember, 0-7 range determines acids and litmus paper confirms that by turning red.

So correct choice is C.

What is the significance of "Er" in the diagram?

Drupady [299]

Answer:

The significance of "Er" in the diagram is :

B.) Threshold energy for reaction

Explanation:

Threshold energy : It is total amount of energy required by the reactant molecule to reach the transition state .

Activation energy : It is the excess energy absorbed by the molecules to reach the transition state.

Activation Energy = Threshold Energy - Average Kinetic Energy

This means Activation energy decreases on increasing kinetic energy

On increasing Temperature average kinetic energy of the molecule increases which reduces the activation energy and the reaction occur faster in that case.

Catalyst also reduces the Activation energy.

Er = Threshshold energy for reaction at 30 degree

Ea = Activation Energy

The given figure shows that the threshold energy decreases on increasing the temperature

Only the molecule having energy greater than Er can react to form product
