What is the atomic structure of an atom

Chemistry
1 answer:
icang [17]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

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.

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e-

Mass= 9.10938356×10-31 Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

While neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P+  

Symbol of neutron= n0  

Mass of proton=1.672623×10-27 Kg

Mass of neutron=1.674929×10-27 Kg

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.

pochemuha

Answer:

Neutral.

Explicación:

Cuando dos cargas negativas, dos cargas positivas y una carga positiva y una carga negativa se unen, los átomos se vuelven neutrales porque las cargas opuestas cancelan el efecto de la otra. Si hay igual número de cargas y además son opuestas entre sí, entonces todas estas cargas cancelan el efecto de la otra formando el átomo neutral, pero si hay diferencia en el número de cargas, entonces la carga que es alta en número aparece en el átomos.

Function of leaf in points​
klasskru [66]

Explanation:

The main function of a leaf is to produce food for the plant by photosynthesis. Chlorophyll, the substance that gives plants their characteristic green colour, absorbs light energy.

  • Photosynthesis.
  • Transpiration.
  • Guttation.
  • Storage.
  • Defense.

I will be describing what each of these do to the plant.

  • <u>Photosynthesis: </u>Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities.
  • <u>Transpiration</u>: Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism. The remaining 97–99.5% is lost by transpiration and guttation.
  • <u>Guttation</u>: Guttation is the exudation of drops of xylem sap on the tips or edges of leaves of some vascular plants, such as grasses, and a number of fungi. Guttation is not to be confused with dew, which condenses from the atmosphere onto the plant surface. Guttation generally happens during the night time.
  • <u>Storage</u>: A storage organ is a part of a plant specifically modified for storage of energy (generally in the form of carbohydrates) or water. Storage organs often grow underground, where they are better protected from attack by herbivores.
  • <u>Defense</u>: The first line of defense in plants is an intact and impenetrable barrier composed of bark and a waxy cuticle. Both protect plants against herbivores. Other adaptations against herbivores include hard shells, thorns (modified branches), and spines (modified leaves).

<u>Hope this helps!</u>

Answer:

It maintains a constant internal temperature.

Explanation:

Our body tries its hardest to maintain a constant internal temperature. This is because if we get to warm or cold it is unhealthy. If your body senses that it is getting to warm or cold it will try to correct itself.
