Answer:

The first energy level is closest to the nucleus. The second energy level is a little farther away than the first. ... The electrons in the energy level farthest from the nucleus are called valence electrons. Atoms in the same column (group) in the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons.

wolverine [178]

Answer:

Atom (O) Ion (O²⁻)

Protons 8 8

Electrons 8 10

Neutrons 8 8 ← only for the oxygen-16 isotope.

* The number of neutrons depends on the specific isotope. It is equal to the mass number of the isotope less the number of protons.

Explanation:

Oxygen is the element with atomic number 8. That means that the oxygen atoms have 8 protons.

Protons have relative positive charge equal to +1 and electrons have relative negative charge -1: same magnitude opposite sign.

Thus, the neutral oxygen, O, has also 8 electrons and 8 protons.

As per the number neutrons it depends on the specific isotope.

The isotopes are identified by the mass number, which is the number of protons plus neutrons. For instance, oxygen-16 isotope has mass number 16, 8 protons and 8 neutrons, while oxygen-15 isotope has mass number 15, 8 protons and 7 neutrons.

Oxide ion O²⁻ is the oxygen ion with -2 charge, meaning that it has 2 more electrons than protons. Then, it has 8 protons and 10 electrons, again the number of neutrons depend of the specific isotope.

The stability of an atoms or ion refers to its trend to remain in the same state or react to form another species. The ions O²⁻ are less stable than the neutral atoms O, because the negative charge will be attracted to any positive ion so ti will react faster than the neutral oxygen atom (O).

In the electron transport system, hydrogen atoms removed from NADH ultimately end up as part of _____

erica [24]

Answer: Water H2O

Explanation:

In cellular respiration process NAD+ is a most versatile electron acceptor and functions in several of the redox steps during break down of glucose.

Each NADH molecules formed during respiration represents stored energy that can be tapped to make ATP when the electrons complete their ''fall''down an energy gradient from NADH to oxygen.

Electrons removed from glucose are shuttle by NADH to the ''top'', higher-energy end of the electron transport chain. At the ''bottom'' lower energy end, O2 captures these electrons along with H+ forming water.

Therefore Hydrogen removed from NADH in the ETC is captured by O2 to form water

Determine the number of carbon atoms in 1.00 kg of carbon dioxide.

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

1.37x10²⁵atoms of carbon

2.74x10²⁵ atoms of oxygen.

33.7g of KNO₃

Explanation:

To answer this question you must use molar mass of carbon dioxide (44g/mol) and 1 mole are 6.022x10²³atoms.

1.00kg are 1000g of CO₂. Moles are:

1000g CO₂ * (1mol / 44g) = 22.73 moles of CO₂ = 22.73 moles of carbon.

In atoms:

22.73 moles C * (6.022x10²³atoms / 1mole) = 1.37x10²⁵atoms of carbon

There are 22.73 moles of CO₂ * 2 = 45.45 moles of oxygen are present in the carbon dioxide. In atoms:

45.45 moles Oxygen * (6.022x10²³atoms / 1mole) = 2.74x10²⁵ atoms of oxygen.

1 mole of Potassium nitrate, KNO₃, contains 3 moles of oxygen. 1 mol of oxygen are:

1.00 mol O * (1mol KNO₃ / 3 moles O) = 0.33 moles of KNO₃

As molar mass of KNO₃ is 101.1g/mol:

0.33 moles of KNO₃ * (101.1g / mol) = 33.7g of KNO₃

What properties you can observe or measure?

Advocard [28]

We can observe physical properties of elements and compounds without changing the substance.

Examples of physical properties: Density, color, boiling point, state of matter, appearance: dull or shiny, etc.

But we can also observe and measure chemical properties by reacting a substance with something else. For example, like mixing baking soda and vinegar together. The vinegar reacts with the baking soda and produces carbon dioxide: a new substance.

Some examples of chemical properties: Flammability, amount of heat that is released during combustion, toxicity (how much damage it causes to other organisms), radioactivity, and ability to oxidize (when you have metal that becomes rusty looking).
