Why can’t an atom lose or gain a proton

Chemistry

The electrons can jump shells by releasing/gaining energy. If an atom develops a positive charge, how could it have happened? It couldn't possibly have taken on additional protons because protons and neutrons are bound by the strong nuclear force, which keeps the nucleus stable.

How does liquid turn into gas? (Question for my sister)
kodGreya [7K]
If you were to take water (like many other materials) and break it up into almost the smallest things you could, you’d get molecules. If the molecules are stuck together really tightly in a regular pattern, then they’re called a solid. The solid form of water is ice. This actually makes a lot of sense, because it certainly does seem like all the little parts of a solid (like ice) are stuck together very tightly.

When you heat something up, it makes the molecules move faster. If you heat up a typical solid, it melts and becomes a liquid. In a liquid (like water), the molecules are still stuck together, but they can move around some. What actually happens is that the molecules are still sort of sticking together, but they’re constantly breaking apart and sticking to different molecules. This also makes sense when you think about water. Water sort of sticks together, but it breaks apart /really/ easily.

If you heat a liquid like water up even more (like if you put it in a pot on the stove), then the molecules will move around so fast that they can’t even hold on to each other at all. When this happens, all of the molecules go flying apart and become a gas (like when you boil water to make steam). The process of gas molecules leaving the liquid to go into the gas is called "evaporation." The opposite process is called "condensation."

Why doesn't benzaldehyde undergo a self aldol condensation?
Vladimir79 [104]
<span>Actually the main reason being benzaldehyde completely lacks alpha hydrogen within its whole structure and then this alpha hydrogen is the only hydrogen adjacent to the carbon from the carbonyl group, hence it will not undergo a self aldol condensation at all.</span>
