An atom has 5 neutrons,2electrons and 4 protons what type of atom is it

Chemistry
1 answer:
satela [25.4K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Cation

Explanation:

Since the protons are greater than electrons, this means the atom has a net positive charge on it and is now called a cation.

As there are 4 protons, this means that the outermost shell has 2 valence electrons 2s1, 2s2 and this is Group 2 element. Looking at Periodic table, we find that this is beryllium 4Be5 and is denoted as Be^2+

What is the balanced net ionic equation including phases for K2SO4 and SrI2
Triss [41]

Answer:

Sr 2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) → SrSO4(s)

Explanation:

<u>Step 1</u>: Write a properly balanced equation with states:

K2SO4(aq) + Srl2(aq) → 2KI(aq) + SrSO4(s)

<u>Step 2</u>: write the full ionic equation with states. Remember to keep molecules intact. Only states (aq) will dissociate,  (s) will not dissociate . This means SrSO4 won't dissociate.

2K+(aq) + SO42-(aq) + Sr 2+(aq) + 2I-(aq) → 2K+(aq) + 2I-(aq) + SrSO4(s)

<u>Step 3</u>: Balanced net ionic equation

Sr 2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) → SrSO4(s)

After he conducted cathode ray tube experiments proving the existence of negatively charged particles we now call electrons, Tho
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Answer is explained below;

Explanation:

In 1904, after the discovery of the electron, the English physicist Sir J.J. Thomson proposed the plum pudding model of an atom. In this model, the atom had a positively-charged space with negatively charged electrons embedded inside it i.e., like a pudding (positively charged space) with plums (electrons) inside.

In 1911, another physicist Ernest Rutherford proposed another model known as the Rutherford model or planetary model of the atom that describes the structure of atoms. In this model, the small and dense atom has a positively charged core called the nucleus. Also, he proposed that just like the planets revolving around the Sun, the negatively charged electrons are moving around the nucleus.

By conducting a gold foil experiment, Rutherford disproved Thomson's model. In this experiment, positively charged alpha particles emitted from a radioactive source enclosed within a protective lead were used which was then focused into a narrow beam. It was then passed through a slit in front of which a thin section of gold foil was placed. A fluorescent screen (coated with zinc sulfide) was also placed in front of the slit to detect alpha particles which on striking the fluorescent screen would produce scintillation (a burst of light) which was visible through a microscope attached to the back of the screen.

He observed that most of the alpha particles passed straight through the gold foil without any resistance and this implied that atoms contain a large amount of open space. The slight deflection of some of the alpha particles, the large-angle scattering of other alpha particles and even the bouncing back of a very few alpha particles toward the source suggested their interactions with other positively charged particles inside the atom.

So, he concluded that only a dense and positively charged particle such as the nucleus would be responsible for such strong repulsion. Also, the negatively charged electrons electrically balanced the positive nuclear charge and they moved around the nucleus in circular orbits. Between the electrons and nucleus, there was an electrostatic force of attraction just like the gravitational force of attraction between the sun and the revolving planets.

Later, the Rutherford model was replaced by the Bohr atomic model.

Continental crust is younger than oceanic crust.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The answer is true.

Explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

The answer is true.

When a crust undergoes great tension, a crack opens and the oceanic crust begins to form. As the crack enlarges, the continent is splitting. Thus an oceanic crust forms. So the oceanic crust is younger than the earth's crust.

What is the oxidation number of phosphorus (P) in phosphoric acid (H3PO4)?
Sedaia [141]

Hey there!:

H is always +1 so the H's have a +3 charge.

O is always -2 so the O's have a -8 charge .

Now, suppose oxidation state for P = X , then :

+3  + X + (-8) = 0      (because of neutral molecule)

x = 8 - 3

x = + 5

So, X = +5 oxidation state.

Answer  C


Hope that helps!

A chemist has to prepare 250.0 mL of a 0.300 M Na2SO4(aq) solution. What mass, in grams, of sodium sulfate (formula mass 142.05
Sedbober [7]

The mass of sodium sulphate, Na₂SO₄, required to prepare the solution is 10.65 g

<h3>How to determine the mole of sodium sulphate Na₂SO₄</h3>
  • Volume = 250 mL = 250 / 1000 = 0.25 L
  • Molarity = 0.3 M
  • Mole of Na₂SO₄ =?

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole of Na₂SO₄ = 0.3 × 0.25

Mole of Na₂SO₄ = 0.075 mole

<h3>How to determine the mass of sodium sulphate Na₂SO₄</h3>
  • Molar mass of Na₂SO₄ = 142.05 g/mol
  • Mole of Na₂SO₄ = 0.075 mole
  • Mass of Na₂SO₄ =?

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of Na₂SO₄ = 0.075 × 142.05

Mass of Na₂SO₄ = 10.65 g

Thus, 10.65 g of Na₂SO₄ is needed to prepare the solution.
