When non-metal atoms ionize they gain electrons.<span> Some examples of this are the halogen elements: F, Cl, Br and I, each, can gain one electron from the respective anions, F-, Cl-, Br-, and I-. O and S, may gain two electrons to form the anions O2- and S2-. This is due to the fact that those elements only need one (in the case of the halogens) or two (in the case of O and S) electrons to reach the most stable configuration of the closest noble gas (with the last shell of electrons full), so they are ready to gain those electrons and form the corresponding ions.</span>

What kind of electrical charges do protons,electrons, and neutrons have?​
Vinil7 [7]

<em><u>Protons</u></em><em><u> = Positive Charge</u></em>

<em><u>Neutrons</u></em><em><u> = Neutral Charge/No Charge</u></em>

<em><u>Electrons</u></em><em><u> = Negative Charge</u></em>

<em>This one's simple: electrons have a negative charge, protons have a positive charge and neutrons — as the name implies — are neutral.</em>

<u><em>Protons</em></u>

<em>Elements are differentiated from each other by the number of protons within their nucleus. For example, carbon atoms have six protons in their nucleus. Atoms with seven protons are nitrogen atoms. The number of protons for each element is known as the atomic number and does not change in chemical reactions. In other words, the elements at the beginning of a reaction -- known as the reactants -- are the same elements at the end of a reaction -- known as the products.</em>

<em />

<em><u>Neutrons</u></em>

<em>Although elements have a specific number of protons, atoms of the same element may have different numbers of neutrons and are termed isotopes. For example, hydrogen has three isotopes, each with a single proton. Protium is an isotope of hydrogen with zero neutrons, deuterium has one neutron, and tritium has two neutrons. Although the number of neutrons may differ between isotopes, the isotopes all behave in a chemically similar manner.</em>

<em />

<u><em>Electrons</em></u>

<em>Electrons are not bound as tightly to the atom as protons and neutrons. This allows electrons to be lost, gained or even shared between atoms. Atoms that lose an electron become ions with a +1 charge, since there is now one more proton than electrons. Atoms that gain an electron have one more electron than protons and become a -1 ion. Chemical bonds that hold atoms together to form compounds result from these changes in the number and arrangement of electrons.</em>

Gaseous ammonia chemically reacts with oxygen O2 gas to produce nitrogen monoxide gas and water vapor. Calculate the moles of ox
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer : The number of moles of oxygen needed are, 1.5 moles.

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

4NH_3+5O_2\rightarrow 4NO+6H_2O

Now we have to calculate the moles of oxygen.

From the balanced chemical reaction we conclude that,

As, 6 moles of water vapor produces from 5 moles of oxygen

So, 1.80 moles of water vapor produces from \frac{5}{6}\times 1.80=1.5 moles of oxygen

Therefore, the number of moles of oxygen needed are, 1.5 moles.
