Answer : The correct option is, Electron.

Explanation :

There are three subatomic particles of an atom which are electrons, protons and neutrons. The protons are positively charged, the electrons are negatively charged and neutrons are neutral (no charge).

A neutral atom is an atom that has same number of electrons and protons.  When a neutral atom gain an electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion.  When a neutral atom lose an electron, it becomes a positively charged ion. That means the atom change when the electron is lost or gained.

Hence, if the atom undergoes a change and becomes a positive ion, in this process the lost subatomic particle is electron.

Electrons are lost because they have a negative charge. neutrons are neutral meaning no charge and protons have a positive charge

Which option is an element <br> A: carbon dioxide <br> B: Water <br> C: Air<br> D: Carbon
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

D: Carbon

Explanation:

The periodic table lists all the known elements. When looking at it, the only choice you will find is carbon. Therefore, carbon is the element.

Carbon is also by itself, just C.

Water is H2O, which is a molecule due to the 2 different elements.

Carbon Dioxide is CO2, which is a molecule due to the 2 different elements.

Air is just a mixture of different gas molecules, so therefore it is not an element.

Find the pH of HCl with a concentration of 0.00006M<br> Round to the nearest whole number
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

4.22

Explanation:

pH stands for potential hydrogen. The letter “p” denotes potential and the letter “H” denotes hydrogen.

pH helps to find the acidity or alkalinity of an aqueous solution.

The number of hydrogen ions (protons) present in a solution is determined by the pH scale.

A pH greater than 7 makes the water more alkaline and a pH less than 7 makes the water more acidic.

pH=-\log [H^+]=-\log [0.00006]=4.22

If a straight-chain hydrocarbon is a gas at room temperature, how many carbon atoms will it have?
Orlov [11]

The fewer the carbon atoms, the closer it is  to being a gas. The only one you have to check out is A which is hexane. You know that gasoline at the pumps has 8 carbons and its a liquid. So B and C are both not gases  because they are above 8.

C6 (hexane) is a liquid at room temperature not a gas.

The answer is D. If there is a gas present, it must be C3
