Atom:Proton number same as number of electron.

Ion:Electronic configuration becomes "2.8.8" because the atom configuration is "2.8.5" the last shell have 5 electrons is more than "3" so you need to add electrons TILL the maximium that shell can hold to make it stable.If for example if the configuration is "2.8.3" you take the 3 electrons out from the last shell in order to make it stable.

Take out:1,2,3 electrons

Add:4 electron and above depends on what shell,but of course don't add MORR when is at the max the shell can hold.

Consider three 1 L flasks at STP. Flask A contains NH3 gas, flask B contains NO2 gas, and flask C contains N2 gas. Which contain
diamong [38]
1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 L at STP. Therefore, each gas has 1/22.4 moles and because the number of moles is the same, the number of molecules of each gas is also the same.

The least polar molecules are of N₂ and they will show the most ideal behavior out of all three of the gases.

What is the difference between the spectrum of hydrogen and the spectrum of sunlight
g100num [7]

Answer:

The hydrogen spectrum is an important piece of evidence to show the quantized electronic structure of an atom. ... It results in the emission of electromagnetic radiation initiated by the energetically excited hydrogen atoms. The hydrogen emission spectrum comprises radiation of discrete frequencies.

The spectrum starts with red light, with a wavelength of 700 nanometers (7,000 angstroms), at the top. ... It spans the range of visible light colours, including orange and yellow and green, and ends at the bottom with blue and violet colours with a wavelength of 400 nm (4,000 angstroms).

Explanation:

Hydrogen molecules are first broken up into hydrogen atoms (hence the atomic hydrogen emission spectrum) and electrons are then promoted into higher energy levels. Suppose a particular electron is excited into the third energy level. It would tend to lose energy again by falling back down to a lower level.

The spectrum of the Sun appears as a continuous spectrum and is frequently represented as shown below. This type of spectrum is called an emission spectrum because what you are seeing is the direct radiation emitted by the source.

What are the tiny particles that make up protons and neutrons
love history [14]


Protons and neutrons are made up of tiny particles called quarks.

A proton is a baryon made up two Up and one Down  quark.

A neutron is made of two Down quarks and one Up quark.

The Up quarks possess a 2/3 positive charge  while the Down quark possess a 1/3 negative  charge.

When we refer that a proton consists of two Up quarks and a Down, this simply means that its net appearance matches this description.

It is thought that quarks themselves are surrounded by gluons. 

Gluons are the basic particles underlying the strong interaction between protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
