Answer:
C. The mass of an electron is much less than the mass of a proton or
a neutron.
Explanation:
When we compare the mass of an electron to that of proton or neutron, the mass of an electron is much less than the mass of a proton or a neutron.
Electrons are negatively charged particles in an atom
Protons are positively charged particles
Neutrons do not carry any charges.
- The relative mass of an electron compared to that of a proton is
- This is a very small value
- Electrons generally have mass of 9.11 x 10⁻³¹kg
- Protons weigh 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷kg
- Neutrons weigh 1.68 x 10⁻²⁷kg
We can see that electrons have very small mass and this is why when calculating the mass of an atom, we use the sum of the number of protons and neutrons.
I am so sorry I do not know but I need to answer a question in order to ask one I hope u pass:))
Answer:
Two moles of KClO3 decompose to form 5 moles of product.
Answer:
5. Atoms with high ionization energies and high electron affinities have low electronegativities.
Explanation:
Ionization energy is the minimum amount of energy which is required to knock out the loosely bound valence electron from the isolated gaseous atom.
Electron affinity is the amount of energy released when an isolated gaseous atom accepts electron to form the corresponding anion.
Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom in a bond pair to attract the shared pair of electron towards itself.
Low ionization energies as well as low electron affinities mean the atom has low effective nuclear charge, which results in the less attraction of the valence electrons by the atom and thus, low electronegativity.
