Answer:

Compared to the charge of proton the charge of an electron is negative.

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. 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.

For example

The carbon have six protons and six neutrons so its atomic mass is 12 amu and atomic number is six.

Electron:

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.

Neutron and proton

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

Convert 8.50 moles Ca to atoms
Wewaii [24]

8.50 moles is equal to 5.1187×10²⁴ atoms of Ca.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have to multiply the moles of Ca by the Avogadro's number:

= 6.022×10²³

So the number of atoms:

= 8.5 moles × 6.022×10²³atoms / mol

= 5.1187×10²⁴ atoms

Hence the 8.50 moles is equal to 5.1187×10²⁴ atoms of Ca.

there is a total of seventeen constitutional isomers for the molecular formula c5h13n. draw the skeletal formula of all three co
MAXImum [283]
Amines are derivatives of Ammonia (NH₃) in which atleast one hydrogen atom is replaced by an alkyl group. Amines are further classifies as;

Primary Amines:
                          In primary amines the nitrogen atom is attached to two hydrogen atoms and one alkyl group.

Secondary Amines:
                             In secondary amines the nitrogen atom is attached to two alkyl groups and one hydrogen atom.

Tertiary Amines:
                         In tertiary amines the nitrogen atom is attached to three alkyl groups, hence it has no hydrogen atom.

Below are three isomers of tertiary amines with molecular formula C₅H₁₃N.

Which is an example of a compound?
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Octane - Formula: C8H^18 = Carbon^8 + Hydrogen^18

Explanation: Octane is a compound because there are 8 atoms of carbon and 18 atoms of hydrogen in one molecule of C8H18. There are also 8 moles of carbon and 18 moles of hydrogen.

An element with an electronegativity of 0.9 bonds with an element with an electronegativity of 3.1.. Which phase best describes
eduard
Electronegativity is the strength an atom has to attract a bonding pair of electrons to itself. When a chlorine atom covalently bonds to another chlorine atom, the shared electron pair is shared equally. The electron density that comprises the covalent bond is located halfway between the two atoms.

But what happens when the two atoms involved in a bond aren’t the same? The two positively charged nuclei have different attractive forces; they “pull” on the electron pair to different degrees. The end result is that the electron pair is shifted toward one atom.

ATTRACTING ELECTRONS: ELECTRONEGATIVITIES

The larger the value of the electronegativity, the greater the atom’s strength to attract a bonding pair of electrons. The following figure shows the electronegativity values of the various elements below each element symbol on the periodic table. With a few exceptions, the electronegativities increase, from left to right, in a period, and decrease, from top to bottom, in a family.

Electronegativities give information about what will happen to the bonding pair of electrons when two atoms bond. A bond in which the electron pair is equally shared is called a nonpolar covalent bond. You have a nonpolar covalent bond anytime the two atoms involved in the bond are the same or anytime the difference in the electronegativities of the atoms involved in the bond is very small.



Now consider hydrogen chloride (HCl). Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.1, and chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0. The electron pair that is bonding HCl together shifts toward the chlorine atom because it has a larger electronegativity value.

A bond in which the electron pair is shifted toward one atom is called a polar covalent bond. The atom that more strongly attracts the bonding electron pair is slightly more negative, while the other atom is slightly more positive. The larger the difference in the electronegativities, the more negative and positive the atoms become.

Now look at a case in which the two atoms have extremely different electronegativities — sodium chloride (NaCl). Sodium chloride is ionically bonded. An electron has transferred from sodium to chlorine. Sodium has an electronegativity of 1.0, and chlorine has an electronegativity of 3.0.

That’s an electronegativity difference of 2.0 (3.0 – 1.0), making the bond between the two atoms very, very polar. In fact, the electronegativity difference provides another way of predicting the kind of bond that will form between two elements, as indicated in the following table.
