Answer:
They represent it by ensuring that the number of atoms of each element (matter) in the reactant side is the same as the product side
Explanation:
The law of conservation of matter stated that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. Chemical equations involve combining atoms of elements. The compounds combined by chemists are called REACTANTS while the produced compounds are called PRODUCTS.
In order to conform to the law of conservation of matter, the same quantity of matter present in the reactants must be present in the products. This means that the number of atoms of each element (matter) in the reactant side must be the same as the product side. For example;
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
In this chemical equation for photosynthesis, number of atoms in the reactant side (6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, 18 oxygen) are the same as that in the product side (6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, 18 oxygen), hence, this obeys the law of conservation of mass.
In a nutshell, chemists chemists properly represent the law of conservation of matter in their chemical equations by making sure that same number of atoms of reactants is present in the products.
<span>The word that should be filled in the blank in order to complete the sentence, "The ______ in the mouth secrete enzymes which help prepare the food for digestion in the stomach." The answer would be saliva. Saliva contains salivary amylase that helps soften the food. </span>
Answer:
It would change the charge of the atom.
Explanation:
Added electrons cause atoms to be negatively charged, lost electrons cause atoms to be positively charged.
Answer:
1. Orbital diagram
2p⁴ ║ ↑↓ ║ "↑" ║ ↑
2s² ║ ↑↓ ║
1s² ║ ↑↓ ║
2. Quantum numbers
- <em>n </em>= 2,
- <em>l</em> = 1,
= 0,
= +1/2
Explanation:
The fill in rule is:
- Follow shell number: from the inner most shell to the outer most shell, our case from shell 1 to 2
- Follow the The Aufbau principle, 1s<2s<2p<3s<3p<4s<3d<4p<5s<4d<5p<6s<4f<5d<6p<7s<5f<6d<7p
- Hunds' rule: Every orbital in a sublevel is singly occupied before any orbital is doubly occupied. All of the electrons in singly occupied orbitals have the same spin (to maximize total spin).
So, the orbital diagram of given element is as below and the sixth electron is marked between " "
2p⁴ ║ ↑↓ ║ "↑" ║ ↑
2s² ║ ↑↓ ║
1s² ║ ↑↓ ║
The quantum number of an electron consists of four number:
- <em>n </em>(shell number, - 1, 2, 3...)
- <em>l</em> (subshell number or orbital number, 0 - orbital <em>s</em>, 1 - orbital <em>p</em>, 2 - orbital <em>d...</em>)
- (orbital energy, or "which box the electron is in"). For example, orbital <em>p </em>(<em>l</em> = 1) has 3 "boxes", it was number from -1, 0, 1. Orbital <em>d</em> (<em>l </em>= 2) has 5 "boxes", numbered -2, -1, 0, 1, 2
- (spin of electron), either -1/2 or +1/2
In our case, the electron marked with " " has quantum number
- <em>n </em>= 2, shell number 2,
- <em>l</em> = 1, subshell or orbital <em>p,</em>
- = 0, 2nd "box" in the range -1, 0, 1
- = +1/2, single electron always has +1/2
