What happens to the composition of an atom to cause it to become positively or negatively charged?

Chemistry

cupoosta [38]3 years ago

<span>The addition and subtraction of negatively charged electrons can easily change an atom’s charge, because they perpetually spin in valence shells outside the nucleus. It is easier for a neighboring atom to share or steal an electron rather than a positively charged proton, which is found in the nucleus. It requires a strong energy input to split a proton free from other protons and neutrons. thus, the atoms lose or gain electrons from neighboring ones and become what is known as "ions". Hope it helped!</span>

In an experiment, what is the purpose of the control group?
Burka [1]

A control group is the comparison group that helps to "make sure your experiment works." A control group is separated from the rest of the experiment and nothing happens to it kinda like a controlled variable.  Controlled variables are the variables in a experiment that remains the same for example a temperature, time, type of products, etc..

Hope this helps!

Identify the Lewis acid and Lewis base in each reaction:Na⁺ + 6H₂O ⇆ Na (H₂O)⁺₆
klemol [59]

In the reaction, Na⁺ + 6H₂O ⇆ Na (H₂O)⁺₆, Na⁺ is a Lewis acid and H₂O is a Lewis base.

<h3>What is a Lewis acid-base reaction?</h3>
  • According to the Lewis theory of acid-base reactions, acids accept pairs of electrons and bases donate pairs of electrons.
  • Any substance like H+ ion, which is capable of accepting a pair of nonbonding electrons or an electron-pair acceptor is known as a Lewis acid.
  • Any substance, like the OH- ion, that is capable of donating a pair of nonbonding electrons or an electron-pair donor is a Lewis base.
  • Here Na⁺ that is electron deficient accepts electrons from the electron donor, H₂O
  • From the Lewis theory, with no change in the oxidation numbers of any atoms, acids react with bases to share a pair of electrons.

C-12 and C-13 are naturally-occurring isotopes of the element carbon. C-12 occurs 98.88% of the time and C-13 occurs 1.108% of t
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

c) (12×0.9889) + (13×0.01108)

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of C-12 = 98.89%

Percentage of C-13 = 1.108%

Atomic mass = ?

Solution:

98.89/100 = 0.9889

1.108/ 100 = 0.01108

Atomic mass = (12×0.9889) + (13×0.01108)

Atomic mass = (11.8668 + 0.144034)

Atomic mass = 12.01084
