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.

16 mol of oxygen were react with excess hydrogen gas, how many moles of water would be produced
german
2H₂  +  O₂   →   2H₂O

mole ratio of O₂  :  H₂O     is     1  :  2

∴  if moles of O₂ = 16 mol

then moles of H₂O = (16 mol ×  2)

                               =  32 mol

How many more times intense is an earthquake that measures 8 on the Richter scale than an earthquake that measures 5? Explain yo
djyliett [7]

The answer on edguinity is A magnitude 8 earthquake is 1,000 times more intense than a magnitude 5 earthquake. A magnitude 8 earthquake is 108 times more intense than a standard earthquake, while a magnitude 5 earthquake is 105 times more intense than a standard earthquake, and 108 ÷ 105 = 103. Each unit increase on the Richter scale corresponds to an intensity increase by a factor of 10. So from 5 to 8 on the Richter scale, the intensity increases by 103 = 1,000.
