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
1 answer:
NISA [10]3 years ago
7 0

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

15. An electrically neutral atom consists of 15 neutrons, 13 electrons, and a number of protons. What is its mass number?​
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

28

Explanation:

it states that the atom is neutral, meaning the number of electrons and protons are the same. so if there are 13 electrons, there are 13 protons. And the mass number is neutrons plus protons. So 13+15 is 28

Mexico City has an elevation of 7400 ft above sea level. Its normal atmospheric pressure is 589 mm Hg. At what temperature does
IRISSAK [1]
Given that the volume and amount  of water are kept constant,
P/T = constant
P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂
Normal atmospheric pressure is 746 mmHg and normal boiling point of water is 100 °C.
746/100 = 589/T₂
T₂ = 79.0 °C
