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

Chemistry

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.

tester [92]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

The change in entropy is related to the change in the number of moles of gas molecules. Determine the change in moles of gas for each of the reactions and decide if the entropy increases decreases or has little to no change:

A. K(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow KO_2(s)

B. CO(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow CH_4(g)+H_2O(g)

C. CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)

D. N_2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO(g)+O_2(g)

Answer: A. K(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow KO_2(s) : decreases

B. CO(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow CH_4(g)+H_2(g) : decreases

C. CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g): no change

D. N_2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO(g)+O_2(g) : increases

Explanation:

Entropy is defined as the randomness of the system.

Entropy is said to increase when the randomness of the system increase, is said to decrease when the randomness of the system decrease and is said to have no change when the randomness remains same.

In reaction K(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow KO_2(s), as gaseous reactant is changed to solid product, entropy decreases.

In reaction CO(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow CH_4(g)+H_2O(g), as 4 moles of gaseous reactants is changed to 2 moles of gaseous product, entropy decreases.

In reaction CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g), as 3 moles of gaseous reactants is changed to 3 moles of gaseous product, entropy has no change.

In reaction  N_2O_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO(g)+O_2(g) , as 1 mole of gaseous reactant is changed to 3 moles of gaseous product, entropy increases.

Which mixture is heterogeneous?
kondaur [170]
A bowl of Fruit Loops cereal is a heterogeneous mixture because it has cereal bits of many colors floating around in milk.A bottle of balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing is a mixture that is heterogeneous, and has to be shaken up to make the mixture appear and taste more combined.Sand shaken up in a bottle of water is a heterogeneous mixture of sand particles floating around which will eventually settle to the bottom of the bottle, making it look a lot less like a mixture.<span>

What type of matter can be physically separated
Aneli [31]

Matter can be broken down into two categories: pure substances and mixtures. Pure substances are further broken down into elements and compounds. Mixtures are physically combined structures that can be separated into their original components. A chemical substance is composed of one type of atom or molecule
