What is meant by the term neutral in relation to atoms?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sonbull [250]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

it means positive and negative charges are  equal.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

when a neutral atom loses a electron positive charge is created because  number of protons are positive charge becomes greater than negative charge.

X → X⁺ + e⁻

When a neutral atom accept  the electron negative charge is created because negative charge is become greater than positive charge.

X + e⁻ → X⁻

A 100.0 lb skier moves at 40.00miles/hour. Calc her kinetic energy.
Pepsi [2]

answer: its 7290 joules.

explanations: the first procedure is to convert 1 pound to kilogram. 1 kg = 2.205 hence given 100 lb so we cross multiply. 1 kg * 100 = 2.205 * x

hence x= 45 kg. let's convert 1 mile per hour = 0.45 metre per second we cross multiply by 40 mile per hour. x= 40 * 0.45= 18 m/s.

KE= 1/2 * 45 * (18)^2

= 1/2 * 45 * 14580

= 7290joules

Draw an alkyl bromide with proper stereochemistry that can be used to synthesize the given alkene as the exclusive product via a
enot [183]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

You forgot to put the picture to do so. In this case, I manage to find one, and I hope is the one you are looking for. If not, then post it again and I'll gladly help you out again.

According to the picture with the answer, we have a cyclohexane with 4 methyl groups there. Two of them are facing towards the molecule with a darker bond. This means that the alkyl bromide, should have a bromine in one of the bonds, and in order to produce an E2 reaction, this bromine should be facing in the opposite direction of the methyl groups which are facing towards. This is because an E2 reaction occurs with the less steric hindrance in the molecule. If the bromine is in the same direction as the methyl group, it will cause a lot more of work to do a reaction, and therefore, an E2 reaction. I will promote instead a E1 or a sustitution product.

Therefore the alkyl bromide should be like the one in the picture 2.

Looking across period 4 of the periodic table, potassium (atomic number 19) is followed by calcium (atomic number 20), which is
Mumz [18]
While staying in the same period, if we move from left to right across the period, the atomic radius decreases. The reason is, in a period the number of shells remain the same and the number of electrons and protons increase as we move across the period to the right. The increased electrons and protons attract each other with greater force and hence the atomic size decreases. 

So the element on the left most will have the largest atomic radius. So the correct ans is Potassium. Potassium will have the largest atomic size among Potassium, Calcium and Scandium.

What is the amount of energy for a photon that has a 125 cm wavelength
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

1.59 x 10⁻²⁵ J.

Explanation:

  • The energy of a photon is calculated Planck - Einstein's equation:

E = h ν , where

E is the energy of the photon,

h is  Planck's constant <em>(h = 6.626  x 10 ⁻³⁴ J.s)</em>

ν  is the frequency of the photon

  • There is a relation between the frequency (ν ) and wave length (λ).

λ.ν = c,

where c is the speed of light in vacuum (c = 3 .0 x 10 ⁸ m/s).

λ = 125 cm = 1.25 m.

<em>Now, E = h.c/λ.</em>

∴ E = h.c/λ = (6.626  x 10 ⁻³⁴ J.s) (3 .0 x 10 ⁸ m/s) / (1.25 m) = 1.59 x 10⁻²⁵ J.
