Atom is a neutral element found in nature without any charge. In other words, it has same number of Protons and electrons, whereas ion is a charged thing, either positive or negative. We can find their charge by:

Charge = Number of Protons - Number of Electrons

Hope this helps!

Atoms are neutral, they have a similar number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge)

Ions have either a positive or negative charge by adding or taking away electrons to change the charge.

Write balanced nuclear equations for the following:(a) β⁻ decay of silicon-32
S_A_V [24]

The balanced nuclear equations for the following:(a) β⁻ decay of silicon-32 is (27,14)Si -> (0,-1)beta + (27,15)P

<h3>What is balanced nuclear equation?</h3>

A nuclear reaction is generally expressed by a nuclear equation, which has the general form, where T is the target nucleus, B is the bombarding particle, R is the residual product nucleus, and E is the ejected particle, and Ai and Zi (where I = 1, 2, 3, 4) are the mass number and atomic number, respectively. Finding a well balanced equation is critical for understanding nuclear reactions. Balanced nuclear equations provide excellent information about the energy released in nuclear reactions. Balancing the nuclear equation requires equating the total atomic number as well as the total mass number before and after the reaction using the rules of atomic number and mass number conservation in a nuclear reaction.

Calcium carbide ( CaC2) reacts with water to produce acetylene (C2H2) as shown in the unbalanced reaction below: CaC2(s)+H2O(g)-
MaRussiya [10]
Answer:
46.3g H2O

Explanation:
start by balancing it: CaC2(s) + 2H2O(g) -> Ca(OH)2(s) + C2H2(g)

then use factor label method to solve

82.4g CaC2 x (1 mol CaC2/64.10g CaC2) x (2 mol H2O/1 mol CaC2) x (18.016g H2O/1 mol H20) = 46.3g H2O

Which of the following statements about the combustion of glucose with oxygen to form water and carbon dioxide (C6H12O6 + 6 O2 →
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct statement is:

E - The entropy of the products is greater than the entropy of the reactants.

Explanation:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ → 6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O

As glucose is a large molecule and then it is transformed into many molecules of water and carbon dioxide, the entropy of the system increases. If the number of molecules increases, the disorder increases.

Initial state: 7 molecules (1 glucose + 6 oxygen)

Final state: 12 molecules (6 carbon dioxide + 6 water)
