Why do atoms gain or lose electrons?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Aleksandr [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:kapil

Explanation:

Atoms lose electrons, if an electron gets more energy than then binding energy of the electron. This may be because of a collision with a charged particle or because of absorbtion of a photon. In a metal, there are just other positive charges nearby. The electron is not lost, but shared.

Let us see the structure of ascorbic acid


As shown there is no COOH group however the OH group can lose a proton and forms conjugate base

The conjugate base formed is stabilized due to resonance

More the stability of conjugate base more the strength of acid

Hence ascorbic acid behaves as an acid

Do all colors of light travel at the same speed
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

No because some lights we cannot see because they move to slow or they move to fast for our eye to see. There is just a small little gap compared to what light rays we can actually see. In this picture you can see what I mean.

Would the ph at the equivalence point be acidic, basic, or neutral for each given titration?.
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

At the equivalence point, equal amounts of H+ and OH– ions will combine to form H2O, resulting in a pH of 7.0 (neutral). The pH at the equivalence point for this titration will always be 7.0, note that this is true only for titrations of strong acid with strong base.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

C) As a gas is heated, the pressure decreases.

Explanation:

From the choices given, the statement that "as a gas is heated, the pressure decreases is false".

When gases are heated, their molecules expands and the volume of the gas increases. In a fixed container, the pressure of the gases will also increases.

  • Gases lack internal cohesion and very weak to no intermolecular forces binding them together.
  • When they are subjected to heat, they gain more energy(kinetic energy) which causes them to begin to spread out.
  • Thus, they take up even more space allowing volume to increase appreciably.
