Answer:

This question is incomplete without the table

Explanation:

The missing table is attached to this answer.

There are three subatomic particles found in an atom; protons, neutrons and electrons. The properties of the subatomic particles will be classified under the following subheadings (which are the empty columns/boxes in the attachment)

SYMBOL

The symbol of proton is "p⁺", the symbol of neutron is "n⁰" and the symbol of electron is "e⁻".

CHARGE

Looking at the symbol of the subatomic particles, one can guess the charge of each of the particles from the superscript.

Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged while neutrons have no charge/electrically neutral.

The relative charge of proton is +1 while it's absolute charge is +1.60218 × 10⁻¹⁹

The charge of a proton was first determined by Ernest Rutherford using the gold-foil experiment

The relative charge of electron is -1 while it's absolute charge is -1.60218 × 10⁻¹⁹

The charge of an electron was first determined by R. Milikan using the oil-drop experiment

The relative charge and absolute charge of neutron is 0

The charge of a neutron was first determined by (or credited to) James Chadwick.

MASS

The relative mass (amu) of proton is 1.00727 while that of neutron is 1.00866. The relative mass (amu) of an electron is 0.00054858 while it's absolute mass (g) is 9.10939 × 10⁻²⁴.

The mass of an electron was first measured by J. J. Thomson.

The mass of a proton was first measured by (or credited to) Ernest Rutherford.

The mass of a neutron was first measured by James Chadwick.

LOCATION

The protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus which is found in the centre of an atom while the electron(s) is/are found outside the nucleus but within the atom.

What type of elements make up ionic bonds?

iragen [17]

Answer: An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a nonmetal.

Identify each statement as true or false. Explain in every case.a.Ionization energies are always negative quantities.b.Oxygen ha

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

(a) FALSE

(b) FALSE

(d) FALSE

Explanation:

Ionization energy refers to the energy needed for removal of a valence electron present in valence shell of a gaseous atom.

(a) The value of ionization energy of an atom is always positive. This is because energy has to be always supplied or provided to a gaseous atom for the removal of the valence electron.

Therefore, the statement (A) is false

(b) The ionization energy of an atom increases across a period i.e. from left to right. This is because the effective nuclear charge that is experienced by the valence electron increases from left to right in the periodic table, as the atomic number increases.

So, more energy is required to remove the valence electron of fluorine as compared to oxygen.

Therefore, the ionization energy of fluorine is greater than oxygen.

Therefore, the statement (B) is false

(c) First ionization energy is energy needed for removal of first electron present in valence shell of a neutral atom. Whereas, second ionization energy is the energy needed for removal of second electron present in valence shell of a monovalent cation

The second ionization energy of an atom is always greater than the first ionization energy. This is because removing an electron from a positively charged species, requires more energy.

Therefore, the statement (C) is true

(d) The third ionization energy refers to the energy needed to remove the third electron from a divalent cation.

Therefore, the statement (D) is false

A sample of oxygen occupies 47.2 liters under a pressure of 1240 torr at 298K. What volume would it occupy at 303K if the pressu

kupik [55]

Answer:

81.5 L

Explanation:

We can use the combined gas law equation that gives the relationship among pressure, temperature and volume of gases for a fixed amount of gas.

P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2

where P1 - pressure, V1 - volume and T1 - temperature at the first instance

P2 - pressure, V2 - volume and T2 - temperature at the second instance

substituting the values in the equation

1240 Torr x 47.2 L / 298 K = 730 Torr x V2 / 303 K

V2 = 81.5 L

the new volume the gas would occupy when the conditions have changed is 81.5 L

Please help me with this question Thank you!

Elza [17]

Answer:

B. 3+

Explanation:

When Fe²⁺ loses an electron, it becomes an Fe³⁺ ion.

The loss of an electron in an atom makes the atom becomes positively charged. Further losing electrons makes the atom more positive.

For the given ion;

Fe²⁺ if it loses an electron more, it becomes Fe³⁺.

The expression is given as:

Fe²⁺ → Fe³⁺ + e⁻
