Characterize the size of an atom.

1 answer:

6 0

Atoms are the smallest known substance to man, the building blocks of everything, the atoms size usually depends on the electrons, the electrons are what really takes up space.

And my source ( Google ) says :

Because electrons are what take up space in atoms, the result is that the size of the biggest filled orbital determines the size of the atom or ion. Sizes of orbitals depend on the quantum numbers (n = 1, n = 3, etc.) and also on the effective nuclear charge.

Hope this helps, if not, comment below please!!!!

Need help with this question.... Next to each Formula, write the number of atoms of each element found in one unit of the compou

Andrew [12]

Answer:

The number of atoms present in one unit of the following compounds is:

a). Potassium Iodide , KI = 2

b).Sodium Sulfide, $Na_{2}S$ = 3

c). Silicon Dioxide , $SiO_{2}$ = 3

d). Carbonic Acid , $H_{2}CO_{3}$ = 6

Explanation:

Atomicity : It is defined as the number of atoms that are present in a given molecule/compound.

Atom : The smallest unit of matter is called atom. For e.g O is atom of oxygen but $O_{2}$ is not an atom , it is molecule of oxygen .

$O_{2}$ molecule has 2 atoms of Oxygen

Similarly Na , K , Fe are atoms but $O_{2}$ , $CO_{2}$ , $N_{2}$ , $H_{2}$ are molecules

a).Potassium Iodide

KI = 1 atom of K + 1 atom of I

Total atoms = 2

b) Sodium Sulfide

$Na_{2}S$ = 2 atoms of Na + 1 atom of S

Total atoms = 3

c) Silicon Dioxide

$SiO_{2}$ = 1 atom of Si + 2 atoms of O

Total atoms = 3

d) Carbonic Acid

$H_{2}CO_{3}$ = 2 atom of H + 1 atom of C + 3 atom of O

= 2+1+3

Total atoms = 6

Dehydrohalogenation of 1-chloro-1-methylcyclopropane affords two alkenes (A and B) as products.

UNO [17]

Explanation:

Dehydrohalogenation reactions occurs as elimination reactions through the following mechanism:

Step 1: A strong base(usually KOH) removes a slightly acidic hydrogen proton from the alkyl halide.

Step 2: The electrons from the broken hydrogen‐carbon bond are attracted toward the slightly positive carbon (carbocation) atom attached to the chlorine atom. As these electrons approach the second carbon, the halogen atom breaks free.

However, elimination will be slower in the exit of Hydrogen atom at the C2 and C3 because of the steric hindrance by the methyl group.

Elimination of the hydrogen from the methyl group is easier.

Thus, the major product will A

Why is a typical car battery in a car is filled with a solution of sulferic acid

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Sulfuric acid has a higher density than water, which causes the acid formed at the plates during charging to flow downward and collect at the bottom of the battery.

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

If anything but H2O were found, it would be evidence of a chemical change. Therefore, 4 is the only viable evidence that it was a physical change of H2O liquid to H2O gas.
