How are atoms and elements alike and different?

1 answer:

8 0

An element is an atom or group of the same type of atom in a concentrated, pure form. A molecule is a group of atoms that aren't all necessarily the same type of element. For example, in a sample of elemental iron, every atom in the sample will be an iron atom whereas in table salt, NaCl, half of the atoms are sodium atoms and the rest are chlorine atoms. Atoms are composed of a nucleus which has neutrally charged neutrons and positively charged protons, surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons. Number of electrons and neutrons may vary from atom to atom of the same element, but the number of protons in the atom determine what element it is.

36. Dimensional Analysis: A useful way to convert units using multiplication & division *Always start with what you are give

Answer:

A) 7.9 x 10⁶ inches

B) 1004 g

C) 2.8 x 10³ inches/ min

D) 1.2 x 10⁻⁴ mm

Explanation:

A) Since 39.37 inches = 1 m, you can convert meters to inches by multiplying by the conversion factor (39.37 inches / 1 m).

Notice that if 39.37 inches = 1 m then 39.37 inches / 1 m = 1. That means that when you multiply by a conversion factor, you are only changing units since it is the same as multiplying by 1 :

2.0 x 10⁵ m * (39.37 inches / 1 m) = 7.9 x 10⁶ inches

B) Conversion factors : (2.205 pounds / 1 kg) and (453.59 g / 1 pound), because 2.205 pounds = 1 kg and 1 pound = 453.59 g. Then:

1.004 kg * ( 2.205 pounds / 1 kg) * ( 453.59 g / 1 pound) = 1004 g

C) Conversion factor: (39.37 inches / 1 m) and (60 s / 1 min)

1.2 m/s * (39.37 inches / 1 m) * ( 60 s / 1 min) = 2.8 x 10³ inches/ min

D)Converison factor ( 1 mm / 1 x 10⁶ nm):

120 nm (1 mm / 1 x 10⁶ nm) = 1.2 x 10⁻⁴ mm
