Matter is discontinuous, and it is made of tiny particles called atoms

Explanation:

Matter is not a continuous structure, but it consists of tiny particles called atoms.

An atom consists of three types of particles:

  • Proton: the proton is in the nucleus of the atom. it has a positive electric charge of +1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C (also called fundamental charge). Its mass is 1.67\cdot 10^{-27}kg.
  • Neutron: the neutron is also in the nucleus of the atom, but it has no electric charge. Its mass is similar to the mass of the proton (slightly heavier). Neutrons and protons are held together in the nucleus through the strong nuclear force.
  • Electron: electrons are found in a "cloud" outside the nucleus. Electron has negative electric charge equal to -1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C. Its mass is much approximately 1800 times smaller than that of the proton, so it is considered as negligible.

The sugar in your kitchen has a molar mass of 342.3 g/mol. How many particles are present inside a sugar bowl if there are 250 g
Anastaziya [24]

Number of particles inside a sugar bowl = 4.4 x 10²³

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The molar mass of sugar = 342.3 g/mol

mass of sugar = 250 g

Required

Number of particles

Solution

1 mol = 6.02 x 10²³ particles

mol of sugar :

\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{molar~mass}

mol = 250 g : 342.3 g/mol = 0.73 mol

Number of particles :

N = n x No

N = 0.73 x 6.02 x 10²³

N = 4.39 x 10²³ ≈ 4.4 x 10²³

How do van der waals forces hold molecules together?
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Electrostatic Van de Waals forces act between molecules to form weak bonds. The types of Van der Waals forces, strongest to weakest, are dipole-dipole forces, dipole-induced dipole forces and the London dispersion forces. The hydrogen bond is based on a type of dipole-dipole force that is especially powerful. These forces help determine the physical characteristics of materials.

What is the meaning of<br> 3 CO2 in a chemical reaction?
puteri [66]

Three is simply the coefficient which tells you the amount of molecules. In this case, there are three carbon dioxide molecules. If you want to break it down further, it also means there is three carbon atoms and six oxygen atoms.

I hope this helps.
