Answer: The correct answer is Option 4.

Explanation:

There are three sub-atomic particles present in an atom. They are: electrons, protons and neutrons.

Protons constitute in each and every atom.

The charge on proton is of equal magnitude as that of electron but having opposite sign. Proton carry a positive charge and electron carry a negative charge.

Protons and neutrons, both determine the mass of an atom.

Mass of 1 proton = 1.007276 u

Mass of 1 neutron = 1.008664 u

Mass of 1 electron = 0.00054858 u

Mass of proton is almost same as that of neutron but is more than the mass of electron.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

Naming carbons

Stoichiometry

Analyzing reaction rxn
Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

[RxN - Unbalanced] CH₄ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

[RxN - Balanced] CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O

[Given] 130 g CH₄

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Avogadro's Number

[RxN] 1 mol CH₄ → 2 mol H₂O

[PT] Molar Mass of C: 12.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of H: 1.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of CH₄: 12.01 + 4(1.01) = 16.05 g/mol

Step 3: Stoichiometry

[DA] Set up conversion: $\displaystyle 130 \ g \ CH_4(\frac{1 \ mol \ CH_4}{16.05 \ g \ CH_4})(\frac{2 \ mol \ H_2O}{1 \ mol \ CH_4})(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ H_2O}{1 \ mol \ H_2O})$
[DA] Divide/Multiply [Cancel out units]: $\displaystyle 9.75526 \cdot 10^{24} \ molecules \ H_2O$

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs.

9.75526 × 10²⁴ molecules H₂O ≈ 9.8 × 10²⁴ molecules H₂O

Explain why the male angler fish is small and does not require a fully formed gut

Arturiano [62]

Answer:They are small because they don't need larger bodies to enable them attach to the females. They don't have fully formed gut because when they reach adulthood their digestive system stops functioning.

Explanation:they then find a female angler fish, attach by bitting into her flesh and fusing to her body. So whatever she eats they eat too.

When an atom gains electrons, it is called a (an) _____ and has a ______ charge.

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

When an atom gains/loses an electron, the atom becomes charged, and is called an ion. Gaining an electron results in a negative charge, so the atom is an anion
