The model below shows an atom of an element. 10 light gray and 8 dark gray balls sit at the center with 2 concentric black rings

around them. The inner ring has 2 medium gray balls on it, and the outer ring has 6 medium gray balls on it. At bottom, a dark gray ball = +1, a light gray ball = 0, a medium gray ball = negative 1. What is the atomic number of this atom? A. 6 B. 8 C. 9 D. 16

Answer:

The Atomic Number of the atom of an element whose model is given is "8" that is option no. 'C' in the question.

Explanation:

An Atom comprises of 3 basic structures that are Protons, Neutrons and Electrons. The central part is the Nucleus which contains protons and neutrons having positive charge and no charge respectively. The electrons are revolving around the nucleus in electronic shells having the negative charge.

<u><em>ATOMIC NUMBER: </em></u>

Atomic number is the number of protons present inside the nucleus of an atom and it determines the place of that particular atom in the <u>Periodic Table.</u>

In the model, given in the question, the nucleus contains 2 types of balls dark gray colored and light gray colored. The key at the bottom shows the dark gray colored ball as having a positive charge and thus it represents the atomic number for the given atom of element which is <u><em>EIGHT (8).</em></u>

So, the atomic number for the given atom is 8 which is element OXYGEN.

Choose two of the following scientists: Anton Lavoisier, John Dalton, JJ Thomson, Robert Millikan, Ernest Rutherford, James Chad
elixir [45]

Answer:

John Dalton:

John Dalton was the scientist who introduced atomic theory in the field of chemistry. Dalton worked on different gases and formulated this theory. The main points of Dalton's theory are:

  • Every element present is made up of atoms.
  • Atoms of an elements are have the same same properties whereas these properties are different for each element.
  • According to his theory, an atom could not be broken down.
  • Different atoms combine or get separated from each other during a chemical reaction.

Ernest Rutherford:

Ernest Rutherford is known as the father of nuclear physics due to his impressing research work on radioactivity of atoms. Rutherford was the first scientist to discover the nucleus of an atom and prove that the nucleus was charged. He also described that the electrons circle around the nucleus of an atom.

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Mark has a speed of 6 MPS (Miles Per Hour)

Explanation:

It took mark 2 hours to ride his bike to his grandma's house, which was 12 miles away. I divided 2 by 12 and got 6. Remember this: mph = miles away ÷ time.

When FeC13 is ignited in an atmosphere of pure oxygen, this reaction takes place. 4FeCl3(sJ 30lgJ ~ 2F~0 (sJ 6Cl2(gJ If 3.00 mol
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer : The reagent present in excess and remains unreacted is, O_2

Solution : Given,

Moles of FeCl_3 = 3.00 mole

Moles of O_2 = 2.00 mole

Excess reagent : It is defined as the reactants not completely used up in the reaction.

Limiting reagent : It is defined as the reactants completely used up in the reaction.

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2FeCl_3(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2FeO(s)+3Cl_2(g)

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 moles of FeCl_3 react with 1 mole of O_2

So, 3.00 moles of FeCl_3 react with \frac{3.00}{2}=1.5 moles of O_2

From this we conclude that, O_2 is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and FeCl_3 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Hence, the reagent present in excess and remains unreacted is, O_2
