Answer:

Explanation: Atoms are the building blocks of all matter. They consist of three sub-atomic particles: protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom. Electrons are found in energy levels around the nucleus as shown in the diagram representing a carbon atom with 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons.

Particle  Whereabouts in atom  Relative mass  Charge

Proton  Nucleus  1  +1

Neutron  Nucleus  1  0

Electron  Outside the nucleus  1/1840  -1

In chemistry we are particularly interested in electrons. As you will see later, this is because chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of electrons. Nuclei of atoms (protons and neutrons) usually remain unchanged (except in radioactive decay).

Electrons are arranged in atoms according to their energies. This is called the electronic structure or electronic configuration of the atom. A crude but still useful model says the electrons can be in different energy levels. Electrons in a particular energy level all have the same energy as one another. The lowest energy level can accommodate up to 2 electrons. The second level can accommodate up to 8 electrons. The third level can accommodate up to 18 electrons. The diagram shows the situation for a sulfur atom.

A chemist prepares a solution of mercury(I) chloride Hg2Cl2 by measuring out
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

1.26 × 10^-8 M

Explanation:

We are given;

Number of moles of mercury (i) chloride as 0.000126 μmol

Volume is 100 mL

We are required to calculate the concentration of the solution.

We need to know that;

Concentration is also known as molarity is given by;

Molarity = Number of moles ÷ Volume

Number of moles = 1.26 × 10^-10 Moles

Volume = 0.01 L

Therefore;

Concentration = 1.26 × 10^-10 Moles ÷ 0.01 L

                       = 1.26 × 10^-8 M

Thus, the molarity of the solution is 1.26 × 10^-8 M

Softa [21]

Answer:  

A. unexpected change in odor

Explanation: Common physical changes include melting, change of size, volume, color, density, and crystal form. Example the classic baking soda and vinegar reaction provides evidence of a chemical change due to the formation of a gas and a temperature change.
