In a metal, individual atoms lose electrons to become positive_______

Chemistry

vitfil [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

In a metal, individual atoms lose electrons to become positive "ions."

Explanation:

The electrically charged particles are called as the ions. When the atoms lose or can gain electrons these charged particles are formed. When the atoms start losing electron so as to become positive ion are the metals, and the negative ions are formed by the non-metals. A force called electrostatic force acts between the oppositely charged ions which is known as the ionic bond. The metals not exactly lose electrons quickly to become stable, in case of the ionic bond formation they lose electrons.

Explain the significance of this quote, “Heisenberg may have slept here.”
ch4aika [34]

Umm...Well...

Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle says that we can never know both the position and rate of change of a particle at any time. We can only know one or the other. This leads to rather silly jokes that deal with uncertainty, probability, and superposition. So, saying that "Heisenberg may have slept here" is essentially saying that it is uncertain if Heisenberg slept there or not, making for a rather silly, but slightly unfunny physics joke.

7. Suppose each of these isotopes emits a beta particle. Give the iso-
Volgvan

In a beta emission, the mass number of the daughter nucleus remains unchanged while the atomic number of the daughter nucleus increases by one unit. The following are isotopes produced when the following undergo beta emission;

1) potassium-42  ------> Ca - 42

2) iodine-131 ------------> Xe - 131

3)  iron-52 ---------------> Co - 52

4)  sodium-24 -----------> Mg -24

The daughter nucleus formed after beta emission is found one place after its parent in the periodic table.

Regarding the stability of the daughter nuclei, a nucleus is unstable if the neutron-proton ratio is less than 1 or greater than 1.5.

Hence, the following daughter nuclei are stable; Ca - 42, Xe - 131, Mg -24.

What is the mass of aluminum oxide (101.96 g/mol) produced from 1.74 g of manganese(iv) oxide (86.94 g/mol)?
NemiM [27]

the mass of aluminum oxide (101.96 g/mol) produced from 1.74 g of manganese(iv) oxide (86.94 g/mol) is 1.36g

The reaction is 3 MnO2 + 4 Al ------ 2Al2o3+ Mn

3 mole of manganese oxide give 2 moles of aluminum oxide so by the reaction n( MnO2)/3 =n(al203)2

the formula is n= mass/M so, now substituting values

m (Al2O3)= m(MnO2) X 2 X M (Al2O3) / M(MnO2 X3

so, by substituting values, 2 X101.96 X1.74g / 3 X 86.94 =1.36g

so mass of aluminum oxide obtained = 1.36g
