Why can’t an atom lose or gain a proton

Chemistry
2 answers:
omeli [17]3 years ago

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 many equivalents are present in 10 g of Ca2+? <br> 1 <br> 0.5 <br> 1.5 <br> 2
Lynna [10]

0.5

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Ca²⁺ = 10g

unknown:

Equivalent weight = ?

Solution:

Equivalent weight that is the amount of electrons which a substance gains or loses per mole.

Ca²⁺ has +3 charge

It lost 2e⁻;

therefore;

  In 1 mole of  Ca²⁺, we have 2 equivalent weight

1 mol  Ca²⁺ = 2eq. wts. 

1 mol Ca x (40 g / 1 mol ) x (1 mol / 2 eq.wts.) = 20.0 g = 1 eq.wt. 

Therefore;

10.0 g  Ca²⁺ x (1 eq.wt. / 20.0 g) = 0.5 eq.wts.

A tank is filled with gasoline to a depth of exactly 2 feet. The tank is a cylinder resting horizontally on its side, with its c
inna [77]

Answer:

The volume of the gasoline in the tank is 18.85 cubic feet

Explanation:

The tank is a cylinder. The equation for calculating the cylinder volumen is πr²*h, r is radius and h is height. π is approximately 3.1416. So,  The tank is  resting horizontally on its side, its radius is 2 feet/2= 1 feet. h=a tank long= 6 feet.

With equation:

Vol gasoline=3.1416*1²*6=18.85 feet ³

Enter the net ionic equation for this reaction. Express your answer as a net ionic equation. Identify all of the phases in your
Lisa [10]

Answer:

2H+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) → 2H2O(l)

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation

2HCl(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq) → 2H2O(l)+CaCl2(aq)

This equation is balanced, we do not have the change any coefficients.

Step 2: The netionic equation

The net ionic equation, for which spectator ions are omitted - remember that spectator ions are those ions located on both sides of the equation - will.

2H+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) + Ca^2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) → 2H2O(l) + Ca^2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)

After canceling those spectator ions in both side, look like this:

2H+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) → 2H2O(l)

The main criterion for sigma bond formation is that the two bonded atoms have valence orbitals with lobes that point directly at
nalin [4]

Answer:

The given statement - The main criterion for sigma bond formation is that the two bonded atoms have valence orbitals with lobes that point directly at each other along the line between the two nuclei , is <u>True.</u>

Explanation:

The above statement is correct , because the sigma bond is produced by the head on overlapping, the orbitals should all point in the same direction.

<u>SIGMA BONDS -</u> Sigma bonds (bonds) are the strongest type of covalent chemical bond in chemistry. They're made up of atomic orbitals that collide head-on. For diatomic molecules, sigma bonding is best characterized using the language and tools of symmetry groups.

Head-on overlapping of atomic orbitals produces sigma bonds. The concept of sigma bonding is expanded to include bonding interactions where a single lobe of one orbital overlaps with a single lobe of another. Propane, for example, is made up of ten sigma bonds, one for each of the two CC bonds and one for each of the eight CH bonds.

Hence , the answer is true .
