an atom has a charge of -3 in its orbitals which statement must be true in order for this atom to have no net charge

Chemistry

NISA [10]3 years ago

Answer:

The atom must lose its three extra electrons to make the atom over all neutral.

Explanation:

The three subatomic particles construct an atom electron, proton and neutron. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons.

If an atom have -3 charge it means three more electrons are added. In order to make the atom overall neutral three more electrons must be removed so that negative and positive charge becomes equal and cancel the effect of each other and make the atom neutral.

Electron:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e⁻

Mass= 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

Proton and neutron:

While neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P⁺

Symbol of neutron= n⁰

Mass of proton=1.672623×10⁻²⁷ Kg

Mass of neutron=1.674929×10⁻²⁷ Kg

The measurement 3.8 x 10^3 g could also be written as
solmaris [256]

Right now it's written in scientific notation, so you can just move the decimal place in 3.8 to the right 3 times (as it is times 10 to the third power) to get 3,800g.

A molecule whose ends have opposite electric charge is call a_?
snow_lady [41]
A polar molecule is a molecule whose ends have opposite electric charges. An example of a polar molecule is H2O or water. Water has 1 side which is positive and the other side which is negative. It is a dipole which means that the two sides are not having the same charges.

What is the voltage of a galvanic cell made with zinc (zn) and aluminum (al)?
bonufazy [111]
From the reduction standard potentials;
The emf of Zinc = -0.76 V
and the emf of Aluminium = -1.66 V
In a galvanic cell the component with lower standard reduction potential gets oxidized and that it is added to the anode compartment. 
Therefore. the voltage of a galvanic cell made with zinc and aluminium will be;
Voltage =Ered- Eoxd
             = -0.76 - (-1.66)
             = 0.9 V
