Electron - negligible mass, negative charge, orbits the nucleus
Proton - 1 AMU, positive charge, in the nucleus
Neutron, 1 AMU, no charge, in the nucleus
Answer:
d.) It is a binary molecular compound.
Explanation:
The compound in question has a formula
. The compound is not acidic in nature and the element 'M' is not a metal. This shows that the compound does not contain any metal. Based on the definition of a binary molecular compound as a compound comprising elements that are not metals. Therefore, the compound is obviously a binary molecular compound.
Answer: Option D) covalent bonds between water molecules
In water, hydrogen bonds are best described as covalent bonds between water molecules
Explanation:
The hydrogen bonds between water molecules are covalent bonds because they are formed when oxygen attract the lone electron in hydrogen, thus resulting in the formation of a partially negative charge on the oxygen atom and a partially positive charge on two hydrogen atoms
Thus, the sharing of electrons between oxygen and hydrogen atoms is responsible for the covalent bonds between water molecules
Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Valence shell is the shell present on the outermost core of an atom and electrons present in the valence shell are known as valence electrons.
If an atom has completely filled valence shell then it means the atom is not reactive in nature because it is already stable.
But when an atom has less than eight electrons in its valence shell then it means to attain stability the atom will readily attract electrons towards itself.
As the given element 1 has 8 electrons in its valence shell. Hence, it is not reactive in nature but element 2 has 6 valence electrons. So, in order to attain stability element 2 will readily attract 2 electrons from a donor atom.
Thus, we can conclude that element 2 is more reactive because it does not have a full valence shell, so it will attract electrons.
The isotopes 55Fe and 58Fe are both Iron, but have a different atomic mass due to the added number of neutrons. Both isotopes have 26 protons, but 55Fe has more neutrons.
