How do the number of protons in an atom affect the atom's identity?

Chemistry
1 answer:
fredd [130]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The number of protons in an atom define each individual element because the number of protons is the atomic number which is the defining property of an atom and never changes. The number of protons determines an atom's identity. For example, Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, so it has 8 protons, so no matter what ionic compound or molecule it's part of, every single Oxygen atom will always have 8 protons each.

Refer to the table below. Credits to https://terpconnect.umd.edu/~wbreslyn/chemistry/naming/IonicCharge2.jpg 

Cations with (+ ) charges lose electrons in order to obtain an octet (8 valence electrons) when they ionically bond with another ion.  We're looking for the ions that loses electrons here. So, from the table: 

Al 3+ , S 2- , O 2-, Ag + , Ne ( noble gas, no charge) 

Since Al and Ag has (+) charges, they are going to lose electrons to form ionic bonds with other atoms.

Describe the structure of ammonium laurel sulfates refer to the given diagram. Your answer should include the type of bonding, t
il63 [147K]

Answer:

This ammonium laurel sulfates anion consists of a nonpolar hydrocarbon chain and a polar sulfate end group. It means it has a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail. There are ammonium ions, sulfate, and fatty acids present.

Lauryl sulfate has lauric acid attach to sulfate ions with carbon-sulfur bond, the fatty acid formed by the covalent bonds between C-C attached to hydrogens. Sulfur also bound to oxygen by covalent bonds. Nitrogen is surrounded by the four hydrogen atoms in the hydrophilic head.

4) 4 NH3 + 3 O2  2 N2 + 6 H2O
Black_prince [1.1K]
4 NH₃ + 3O₂ --> 2N₂ + 6H₂O

First, make sure that this is a balanced equation.
There are 4 moles of nitrogen on the left side, and 4 moles of nitrogen on the right side.
There are 12 moles of hydrogen on the left side, and 12 moles of hydrogen on the right side.
There are 6 moles of oxygen on the left side, and 6 moles of oxygen on the right side.

The equation is therefore balanced, and we may proceed.

a) the mole ratio for NH₃ to N₂ is 4 to 2, which can be simplified to 2:1 or 2/1.

b) the mole ratio for H₂O to O₂ is 6 to 3, which can be simplified to 2:1 or 2/1.

​What is the concentration of the solution prepared by dissolving 2.35 g of KBr (M = 119 g/mol) in 250 mL of water? 
dusya [7]

Answer:

The concentration of KBr is  C = 0.07899 \ mol   L^{-1}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The mass of KBr is  m_{KBr}  = 2.35 \ g

       The molar mass of KBr is  M_{KBr} =  119 g/mol

       Volume of water is V = 250 \ mL = 250 *10^{-3} =  0.250 \ L

This implies that the volume of  the solution is  V = 250 mL

The number of moles of KBr is

         n = \frac{m_{KBr}}{M_{KBr}}

Substituting values

         n =  \frac{2.35}{119}

        n = 0.01975 \ mol

The concentration of KBr is mathematically represented as

                C = \frac{0.01975}{0.250}

                C = 0.07899 \ mol   L^{-1}
