Explain how light elements and heavy elements formed differently.

1 answer:

5 0

A star's energy comes from the combining of light elements into heavier elements in a process known as fusion, or "nuclear burning". It is generally believed that most of the elements in the universe heavier than helium are created, or synthesized, in stars when lighter nuclei fuse to make heavier nuclei.

30 POINTS! ----- How many moles of oxygen gas are needed to completely react with 145 grams of aluminum? Report your answer with

gladu [14]

First a balanced reaction equation must be established:
$4Al _{(s)} + 3 O_{2} _{(g)}$ → $2 Al_{2} O_{3}$

Now if mass of aluminum = 145 g
the moles of aluminum = (MASS) ÷ (MOLAR MASS) = 145 g ÷ 30 g/mol
= 4.83 mols

Now the mole ratio of Al : O₂ based on the equation is 4 : 3
[4Al + 3 O₂ → 2 Al₂O₃]

∴ if moles of Al = 4.83 moles
then moles of O₂ = (4.83 mol ÷ 4) × 3
= 3.63 mol (to 2 sig. fig.)

Thus it can be concluded that 3.63 moles of oxygen is needed to react completely with 145 g of aluminum.

Zepler [3.9K]

Bonds between carbon and oxygen are more polar than bonds between sulfur and oxygen. nevertheless, sulfur dioxide (SO₂) exhibits a dipole moment while carbon dioxide (CO₂) does not because of the difference in their shape, CO₂ is having linear geometry thus exhibit zero dipole moment while SO₂ is having bent shape thus exhibit dipole moment. So, despite the fact that bonds between carbon and oxygen are more polar than bonds between sulfur and oxygen. nevertheless, sulfur dioxide (SO₂) exhibits a dipole moment while carbon dioxide (CO₂) does not.

a- If an Lithium (atomic number 3) atom has a -2 charge, how many electrons does it have? b- Why do you do it this way? c- Is th

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A lithium atom with an atomic number of 3 and a charge of -2 will have a total number of electrons.

The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. For a neutral atom that has not gained or lost electrons, the atomic number is the same as the number of electrons.

neutral atom: atomic number of electrons

For neutral atom of lithium, we will have 3 electrons

Now, lithium with a charge of -2 has gained two more electrons to the original 3 this now makes it 5.

ii.

It is an anion because it is negatively charged.

Negatively charged particles are called anion.
