Answer : The correct option is, 8 protons, 8 neutrons, 8 electrons

Explanation :

Neutral atom means the atom contains same number of electrons and protons and there is no charge on atom.

The given neutral atom is, oxygen

The atomic number of oxygen = 8

As we know that the atomic number is equal to the number of electrons and also equal to the number of protons.

Number of electrons = Number of protons = 8

The atomic mass of neutral oxygen atom = 16

Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number = 16 - 8 = 8

Number of neutrons = 8

Therefore, the neutral atom of oxygen have 8 protons, 8 neutrons, 8 electrons.

a sample of compound determined to contain 1.71 g C and 0.287 g H. The corresponding empirical formula is
fiasKO [112]

Answer: The empirical formula is CH_2.

Explanation:

Mass of C = 1.71 g

Mass of H = 0.287 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = \frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{1.71g}{12g/mole}=0.142moles

Moles of H = \frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{0.287g}{1g/mole}=0.287moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C =\frac{0.142}{0.142}=1

For H =\frac{0.287}{0.142}=2

The ratio of C: H = 1: 2

Hence the empirical formula is CH_2.

The attractions that allow molecules of krypton to exist in the solid phase are due to:
OLga [1]

Answer:

4) Van der waals forces

Explanation:

Krypton (Kr) belongs to the noble gas group and has fully filled valence orbitals. In the solid phase, Kr exists as a white solid with a face centered cubic structure.

Intermolecular forces of attraction from the strongest to the weakest include:

Ionic > hydrogen bonding > dipole-dipole > london dispersion

Kr is monoatomic and non-polar. When fully filled (stable) valence orbitals of 2 Kr atoms approach each other in close proximity they experience a repulsive force which prevents the formation of strong bonds. Thus, the only force of attraction in Kr is the long range weak Van Der Waals force also known as the london dispersion force.

A 6.1-kg solid sphere, made of metal whose density is 2600 kg/m3, is suspended by a cord. When the sphere is immersed in a liqui
deff fn [24]

Answer:

Density of the liquid = 1470.43 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of solid sphere(m) = 6.1 kg

Density of the metal = 2600 kg/m³

Thus volume of the liquid :

Volume(V)=\frac{Mass(m)}{Density (\rho)}

Volume of the sphere = 6.1 kg/2600 kg/m³ = 0.002346 m³

The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of sphere (Archimedes' principle)

Volume displaced = 0.002346 m³

Buoyant force =\rho\times gV

Where

\rho is the density of the fluid

g is the acceleration due to gravity

V is the volume displaced

The free body diagram of the sphere is shown in image.

According to image:

mg=\rho\times gV+T

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 ms⁻²

Tension force = 26 N

Applying in the equation to find the density of the liquid as:

6.1\times 9.81=\rho\times 9.81\times 0.002346+26

33.841=\rho\times 9.81\times 0.002346

\rho=\frac{33.841}{9.81\times 0.002346}

\rho=1470.43 kgm^3

<u>Thus, the density of the liquid = 1470.43 kg/m³</u>
