Describe the nucleus of an atom

Chemistry
1 answer:
monitta4 years ago
7 0

The nucleus is the center of an atom. It is made up of nucleons called (protons and neutrons) and is surrounded by the electron cloud. ... Almost all of the mass in an atom is made up from the protons and neutrons in the nucleus with a very small contribution from the orbiting electrons.

plz mark me as brainliest if this helped :)

Select the pair that has the larger atom or ion listed first.
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Correc option: Br^- \, , Kr

Explanation:

size of atom : it says somthing about how many shell present in a particular atom or ion and it can also be evaluated on the basis of radius of atom.

Br^- and Kr has highest number of shell as compared to other group of species .

Na ,S , Mg ,P all are from 3rd period but Kr and Br^- in the 4th period so size of species of this group will more,

Size increases on increasring the shell number

What are the number if protons, neutrons, and electrons
marishachu [46]

protons and electrons are both always the atomic number which is 9 in this case.

For neutrons you subtract the atomic number (9) from the weight of the atom (18.998) some teachers will want you to round to the nearest whole (19). We do this because the number of protons is the atomic number so if you subtract the protons from the whole weight of the atom you would have the electrons and neutrons left. Since electrons weigh so little we don't have to subtract them. Weighing neutrons and electrons would be like weighing an elephant (neutrons) and then putting one marshmallow on the scale (electron).

propane is a hydrocarbon, a compound composed only of carbon and hydrogen. it is 81.82% carbon and 18.18% hydrogen. what is the
scoundrel [369]

Firstly need to determine the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon. Empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of components of the compound. Molecular formula  is the actual composition of the components in the compound.

percentage of C - 82.66%

percentage of H - (100-82.66) = 17.34 %

in 100 g of compound ;

mass of C - 82.66 g

mass of H - 17.34 g

                                 C                               H

mass in 100 g        82.66 g                      17.34 g

molar mass           12 g/mol                      1 g/mol

number of moles    6.88 mol                     17.34 mol

(mass/molar mass)

divide the number of moles by least number of moles (6.88 mol)

                               6.88 mol/6.88             17.34/6.88

                                1                                 2.52

multiply these by 2 to get a whole number 

C - 1x 2 = 2

H - 2.52 x 2 = 5.04

round off to nearest whole number 

C - 2

H - 5

ratio of C to H is 2:5

empirical formula - C₂H₅

empirical formula mass = 12 g/mol x 2 + 5 * 1 g/mol = 29 g

next have to find how many empirical units are there in the molecular unit 

molecular unit mass = 58.12 g

empirical unit = 29 g

then number of empirical units = 58.12 / 29 = 2

rounded off , number of empirical units = 2

(C₂H₅) * 2 units

molecular formula = C₄H₁₀

Which statement BEST describes the policies of the Freedmen's Bureau? Question 1 options: The Freedmen's Bureau wanted to encour
olga2289 [7]
<h2>ANSWER:</h2>

The Freedman's Bureau wanted to help newly freed slaves participate in American society.

<h2>EXPLANATION:</h2>

The Freedmen's Bureau, formally known as the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands, was set up in 1865 by Congress to help a large number of previous dark slaves and poor whites in the South in the outcome of the Civil War. The Freedmen's Bureau given nourishment, lodging, and therapeutic guide built up schools and offered lawful help. It additionally endeavored to settle previous slaves ashore appropriated or surrendered amid the war. Be that as it may, the department was kept from completely doing its projects because of a lack of assets and faculty, alongside the legislative issues of race and Reconstruction.

How many electrons in the same atom can share the quantum number n = 2?
melisa1 [442]
With the principle quantum number being 2, the maximum number that can share this is 8. You can use the general formula 2n^2 to calculate this number (n=quantum level), or you can use the concept of quantum numbers (n, l, m, s) to justify this answer.
