Answer:
c. The atoms of one element can be identical to the atoms of another element.
Explanation:
<em>Which of the following is not a statement of Dalton's atomic theory of matter?</em>
<em>a. Elements are made of atoms.</em> TRUE. An atom is the smallest particle of a chemical element that can exist.
<em>b. Atoms of a given element are identical.</em> TRUE. The only slight difference is in the mass of isotopes.
<em>c. The atoms of one element can be identical to the atoms of another element.</em> FALSE. The atoms of different elements are different from one to another.
<em>d. A given compound always has the same number and kinds of atoms. </em>TRUE. This is known as Dalton's law of constant composition.
This is false. They were both chemists and they made many discoveries such as realizing that charcoal and diamond are different forms of the same element and proposing an atomic theory, but they never tried to turn diamonds to gold.
Answer:
there are 20 oxygen atoms in 4.00 moles of Dinitrogen pentoxide
Explanation:
there are 2 atoms in an oxygen molecule , so each oxygen molecules has at least 2. Dinitrogen pentoxide is N2O5, which has 7 atoms, 2 nitrogen and 5 oxygen. 1 molecule of N2O5 has 5 oxygen atoms, so 4 of then would be 20
<span>You can answer this question by getting the atomic number and atomic mass of Oxygen from a periodic table. There you will find that the atomic number is 8, that means, by definition, that it has 8 protons. This is, because atomic number is defined as the number of protons of an element. Given that the atom is neutral, that implies that the atoms have the same number of electrons than protons. So you already know that the oxygen atoms has 8 protons and 8 electrons. The number of neutrons can vary, which is what defines the isotopes. Given that the atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999, that means that most atoms of oxygen has 8 neutrons (8 protons +8 neutrons = 16 atomic mass). But you can not be sure that a specific atom of oxygen has 8 neutrons, nevertheless, given that the other options are discarded (because they do not have 8 protons and 8 electrons), the only correct answer is the option A. 8 protons, 8 electrons, and 8 neutrons.</span>
