5. The nucleus of an atom is ____. (1 point)

Chemistry
1 answer:
bonufazy [111]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A = The central core and is composed of protons and neutrons.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electrons, protons and neutrons. The neutrons and protons are present inside the nucleus, which is central core of atom and have positive charge. While electron is present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons.

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e-

Mass= 9.10938356×10-31 Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

While neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P+  

Symbol of neutron= n0  

Mass of proton=1.672623×10-27 Kg

Mass of neutron=1.674929×10-27 Kg

4.a) Draw two Lewis structures for HCP; one where C is central and one where P is central: b) Calculate formal charge for each a
love history [14]

One Hydrogen atom (H) and one Oxygen atom (O) surround the central Carbon atom (C) in the HCP Lewis structure (O). Carbon (C) and Phosphorus (P) have a triple bond, and Carbon (C) and Hydrogen (H) have a single bond.

<h3>How can you choose the ideal format for a formal charge?</h3>

The Lewis structure with the negative formal charges on the most electronegative atoms is the one to choose from when faced with a choice between numerous Lewis structures with similar formal charge distributions.

<h3>How do you determine the preferred resonance structure?</h3>

The resonance forms with the fewest non-zero formal charge atoms are selected. Resonance develops atoms that have a negative formal charge or are the most electronegative are preferred.

What is the predominant intermolecular force in the liquid state of each of these compounds: ammonia (NH3), methane (CH4), and n
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The  predominant intermolecular force in the liquid state of each of these compounds:

ammonia (NH3)

methane (CH4)

and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3)

Explanation:

The types of intermolecular forces:

1.Hydrogen bonding: It is a weak electrostatic force of attraction that exists between the hydrogen atom and a highly electronegative atom like N,O,F.

2.Dipole-dipole interactions: They exist between the oppositely charged dipoles in a polar covalent molecule.

3. London dispersion forces exist between all the atoms and molecules.

NH3 ammonia consists of intermolecular H-bonding.

Methane has London dispersion forces.

Because both carbon and hydrogen has almost similar electronegativity values.

NF3 has dipole-dipole interactions due to the electronegativity variations between nitrogen and fluorine.

What percentage of the mass of hydrofluoric acid (HF) is contributed by hydrogen?
Morgarella [4.7K]

This problem is asking for the percent by mass of hydrogen in hydrofluoric acid. At the end, the answer turns out to be D. 5%​ as shown below:

<h3>Percent compositions:</h3>

In chemistry, percent compositions are used for us to know the relative amount of a specific element in a compound. In order to do so for hydrogen, we use the following formula, which can also be applied to any other element in a given compound:

\% H=\frac{m_H*1}{M_{HF}}*100\%

Where m_H stands for the atomic mass of hydrogen and M_{HF} for the molar mass of hydrofluoric acid. In such a way, we plug in the atomic masses of hydrogen (1.01 g/mol) and fluorine (19.0 g/mol) to obtain:

\% H=\frac{1.01g/mol*1}{1.01g/mol+19.0g/mol}*100\%\\\\\% H=5\%

A beaker cannot be used for measuring the volume of a liquid because _____.
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Data obtained can't be accurate.

Explanation:

A beaker can't be used for measuring the volume of a liquid because they did not calculate volume of a liquid accurately and precisely. The marks present on the beaker are not accurate, it is just an estimate so by measuring the volume of any liquid using beaker give us a false data so that's why beaker are not used for the measurement of a volume.
