Chemistry
1 answer:
iVinArrow [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons

Explanation:

The atomic number of an atom is the number of protons it has. If the atomic number is 20 then we know the atom has 20 protons.

•The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons the atom contains. The mass number is 41 and the number of protons is 20, just subtract 20 from 41 and you will get the number of neutrons: 41 - 20= 21. The atoms has 21 neutrons.

•The number of electrons found in an atom is equal to the number of protons. The atoms has 20 protons which means it has 20 electrons.

So, the answer is:

20 protons, 20 electrons, and 21 neutrons

A plate moves 200 m in 10,000 years. What is its rate in cm/year?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>2 cm/year</h2>

Explanation:

To find the rate in cm/year we must first convert 200 m into cm

1 m = 100 cm

if 1 m = 100 cm

Then 200 m = 200 × 100 = 20 ,000 cm

So the rate is

<h2>\frac{20000}{10000}</h2>

<u>Reduce the fraction with 10,000</u>

We have the final answer as

<h3>2 cm/year</h3>

Hope this helps you

The expected o-c-h angle in this molecule is degrees. the expected hybridization at the central carbon is
WINSTONCH [101]

Each neutral carbon atom contains four valence electrons and may form up to four electron domains. Possible hybridizations include

  • sp^{3}, four electron domains, as in ethane \text{C}_2\text{H}_6
  • sp^{2}, three electron domains, as in ethene \text{C}_2\text{H}_4
  • sp, two electron domains, as in ethyne \text{C}_2\text{H}_2

Molecules of each of the three hybridization demonstrate spatial configurations that would maximizes the separation between the electron domains.

  • Carbon atoms with a sp^{3} hybridization would demonstrate a tetrahedral configuration with a bond angle of approximately 109.5\textdegree{}
  • Carbon atoms with a sp^{2} hybridization would demonstrate a triangular planar configuration with a bond angle of 120\textdegree{}
  • Carbon atoms with a sp hybridization would demonstrate a linear configuration with a bond angle of 180\textdegree{}

Bond angles are characteristic of the spatial configuration of electron domains and identifies the hybridization of the central carbon atom.

Note that each hydrogen atom contains only one valence electron and would form only single bonds. It takes two valence electrons for oxygen atoms to achieve an octet such that each oxygen form only two bonds at a single time. Therefore given the fact that the carbon is bonded to both hydrogen and oxygen, only the following hybridizations are possible

  • sp^{3} in which the oxygen atom forms a carbon-oxygen double bond with the central carbon atom;
  • sp^{2} in which the oxygen atom forms a single bond with the central carbon atom and with a second atom.
