Name the three sub particle of an atom, their charges and their mass.
muminat

The three sub particles of an atom are protons, electrons and neutrons.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Neutrons, electrons, and protons are the three sub atomic particles of an atom. Electrons are negatively charged, protons are the positively charged and neutrons are neutral. Electrons are having 9.1×10^{-31} kg, protons and neutrons are having a mass of 1.67×10^{-24} kg.

As protons possess positive charges, so the atomic number of protons will be 1 , similarly, the atomic number of electrons will be -1 and neutron is zero. So, electrons, protons and neutrons combine together to form the atom.

As the electrons present with negative charge and protons with positive charge, along with this the protons number are equal to electrons number, this confirm the neutral nature of atoms.

What are the 3 types of catalyst?
vagabundo [1.1K]
The three types of catalyst are positive, negative and auto-catalytic. <span>A positive catalyst increases the activation energy which decreases the rate or speed of the reaction. A negative catalyst decreases the activation energy which increases the rate or speed of thee reaction. An auto-catalyst starts slows and the reaction continues itself based on the products formed.</span>

Exothermic reactions release energy. Where is the energy used for these reactions to occur stored? .
Tanya [424]

Answer:

In the chemical bonds.

Explanation:

There are different types of chemical bonds, some store a TON of energy while others do not store as much. You can think of it like this: for bonds with low energy, it takes a LOT of force to pull them apart, meaning they are strong bonds. However, this way, you have to put energy into them to break the bonds and form a chemical reaction. This is an endothermic reaction, a reaction that absorbs heat from its surroundings.

Instead, bonds in exothermic reactions are BEGGING to form a more stable bond, and hence store a lot of potential energy. Due to the difficulty of maintaining these bonds, there is a lot of energy put into them. If you break them, however, (exothermic reaction) the energy is released, and hence the exothermic reaction happens.

Hope this helped. Please give Brainliest! :>
