Why don’t all of the particles in an atom contribute to the mass?

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of an atom is dependent on its number of protons and neutrons. Electrons have mass, but are too light in comparison to protons and neutrons to contribute towards the overall mass. Their relative mass is about 1/1840 compared to 1 for protons and neutrons, and therefore are not counted in the mass.

Hope this helped!

Which statement describes why sodium reacts more vigorously than magnesium to hydrochloric acid? Refer to the periodic table. Ci

lions [1.4K]

Sodium has a lower ionization energy than magnesium describes why sodium reacts vigorously than magnesium chloride.

<h3>Why is sodium more reactive than magnesium?</h3>

Sodium is more reactive than magnesium because it has the ability to easily lose electron, hence have lower ionization energy.
Sodium belong to group one on the periodic table and they are called akali metal while magnesium belong to group two on the periodic table and they are called alkali Earth metal.

Sodium and magnesium belong to the in the 3rd period. Iin the outermost energy level sodium has one electron but magnesium has 2 electrons. Therefore, there is more attraction abetween the nucleus and electrons in magnesium than that of sodium.

Therefore, sodium is more reactive than magnesium chloride because of lower ionization energy.

Compared to the normal freezing point and boiling point of water, a 1-molar solution of sugar in water will have a

marysya [2.9K]

Answer :

Boiling point of the sugar solution will be higher than that of water's boling point.
Freezing point of the sugar solution will be lower than that of water's freezing point.

Explanation:

Boiling point of a liquid is defined as temperature at which vapor pressure of liquid becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure.

Boiling point of solution is always higher than that of the pure solvent

Vapor pressure increases with increase in temperature which means sugar solution will be heated more to make vapor pressure equal to atmospheric pressure.

Freezing point is defined as temperature at which solid and liquid phase are at equilibrium or temperature at which vapor pressure of liquid becomes equal to the vapor pressure in its solid phase.

Freezing point of solution is always lower than that of the pure solvent.

Lower the temperature, lower will be the vapor pressure which sugar solution solution will get freeze at lower temperature than that of the water.

ch question carries 2 mark. Time Remaining : 00 : 46 : 33 Some oxides are given below. (i)Na2O (ii)NO2 (iii) CO2 (iv) MgO a) Whi

cluponka [151]

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The basic oxide is an oxide-forming a base solution.

These oxides are mainly from group 1 alkaline and group 2-alkaline earth

If this oxide is dissolved in water it will form an alkaline solution

LO + H₂O --> L(OH)₂ ---> alkaline earth

L₂O + H₂O --> LOH --> alkaline

So the basic oxides : Na₂O and MgO

Na₂O + H₂O --> NaOH (sodium hydroxide, strong base)

MgO + H₂O --> Mg(OH)₂ (magnesium hydroxide, strong base)

The aqueous solution of CO₂ , obtained by dissolving CO₂ in water

CO₂ + H₂O --> H₂CO₃ (carbonic acid)

In general, basic oxide is obtained from metal oxide, while acid oxide is obtained from non-metal oxide
