What is the difference between an atom and an element?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Travka [436]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A particular atom will have the same number of protons and electrons and most atoms have at least as many neutrons as protons. An element is a substance that is made entirely from one type of atom

Explanation:

so In simple terms an atom contains Protons and Electrons and can be found in an Element, but an element comprises of atoms which come together to form up that particular Element

Atmosphere pressure is about 100000 Pa. Calculate the force of the Atmosphere on a person whose Surface area is 2.0m
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

The force of the atmosphere 200 KN.

Explanation:

Pressure is the ratio of force applied to the area  to which the force is applied.

i.e Pressure = \frac{Force}{Area}

But, Pressure = 100000 pa (100000 N/ m^{2}), and surface area = 2.0 m^{2}

Thus,

100000 = \frac{Force}{2.0}

⇒ Force = 100000 x 2.0

              = 200000

Force = 200 KN

The force of the atmosphere 200 KN.

Why are oxidation numbers assigned to the elements before writing a chemical formula
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Oxidation numbers assign ownership of the electrons to one atom or another in a compound. ... Scientists use these numbers to help name compounds, write formulas and balance chemical equations. They are also useful when studying reactions and they can help you identify when something is oxidized or reduced.

Q1. Briefly explain why the Zeff experienced by a valence electron in Cl is larger than in Mg. Q2. Briefly explain why the Zeff
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Q1:

Chlorine has 17 protons while magnesium has only 12 protons. Recall that the Zeff depends on the size of the nuclear charge. The greater the size of the nuclear charge, the larger the Zeff experienced by a valence electron.

Q2:

The larger the Zeff, the smaller the atomic radius. Since the valence electrons of Cl experience a greater Zeff than those of Mg due to greater size of the nuclear charge, the atomic radius of chlorine will be smaller than that of Mg.

Q3:

The radius of an atom increases as the value of the principal quantum number (n) increases down the group due to addition of more shells. The greater the number of shells added, the greater the principal quantum number (n) and the greater the atomic radius, hence the answer.
