What are atoms?

Chemistry

Answer:

The smallest particle of a chemical element can be defined as an atom.

Explanation:

The number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atom's identity, and the number of electrons determines its electrical charge.

a single electron or one of two or more electrons in the outer shell of an atom that is responsible for the chemical properties of the atom is known as valence electrons.

An atom's reactivity is its tendency to lose or gain electrons. ... This is because they have one outer electron and losing it gives them the stability of a outer electron shell as the next level... The reactivities of elements can be predicted by periodic trends.

Answer:

Hope this helps! :^)

Explanation:

Atoms are the basic building blocks of ordinary matter. Atoms can join together to form molecules, which in turn form most of the objects around you.

The number of protons in one atom of an element determines the atom’s identity, and the number of electrons determines its electrical charge.

Valence electrons: an electron of an atom, located in the outermost shell (valence shell) of the atom, that can be transferred to or shared with another atom.

Ethanol (c2h5oh) melts at -114°c. the enthalpy of fusion is 5.02 kj/mol. the specific heats of solid and liquid ethanol are 0.9
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer: 4.18925 kJ heat is needed to convert 25.0 g of solid ethanol at -135 °C to liquid ethanol at -50°C.

Explanation:

Temperature of Solid C_2H_5OH=-135^oC=138 K(0^oC=273K)

Melting temperature of Solid C_2H_5OH=114^oC=159 K

Temperature of liquid C_2H_5OH=-50^oC=223K

Specific heats of solid  ethanol = 0.97 J/gK

Specific heats of liquid ethanol = 2.3 J/gK

Heat required to melt the the 25 g solid C_2H_5OH at 159 K

\Delta T_1 = 159 K - 138 K = 21 K

Q_1=mc\Delta T= 25\times 0.97J/gK\times 21 K=509.25 J

Heat required to melt and raise the temperature of C_2H_5OH upto 223 K

\Delta T_2 = 223 K - 159 K  = 64 K

Q_2=mc\Delta T= 25\times 2.3J/gK\times 64 K=3680 J

Total heat to convert solid ethanol to liquid ethanol at given temperature :

Q_1+Q_2=509.25 J+3680 J=4189.25 J=4.18925 kJ (1kJ=1000J)

Hence, 4.18925 kJ of heat will be required to convert 25.0 g of solid ethanol at -135 °C to liquid ethanol at -50°C.

A piece of iron can change in different ways. How is iron bending different from iron rusting
fenix001 [56]
Iron bending is just a physical change because the iron has only changed shape but there is no new substance. Iron rusting is a chemical change because there is a new substance which is rust.

As a cooking method, braising is valued for its A. ability to retain flavor. B. quickness and convenience. C. ability to create
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Braising means first of all fry a dish slightly and then cook it slowly in a closed vessel or dish. The vessel is close so that the liquid present inside it does not evaporates.

Also, Braising is done to mix the flavors of different liquids or spices appropriately.  

Thus, we can conclude that as a cooking method, braising is valued for its ability to retain flavor.

If the density of water is 1g/ml, what is the mass of 254ml of water?
Mariulka [41]
The mass of 254 mL of water is 254 g. Since the density of water is 1g/mL, we can simply multiply the density 1g/mL by 254 mL of water and get 254 g as our answer.  Since mL is in the numerator and denominator, mL cancels out and we are left with g only.
