Answer:

The atomic structure of an atom involves 3 subatomic particles: the proton, neutron, and electron. The proton has a positive charge and is found in the core of the atom, with the neutral neutrons that also have a mass of 1 amu (atomic mass unit) just like the proton. The nucleus is the core of the atom and contains protons and neutrons and is practically the only area with mass. The electron cloud is basically an area surrounding the nucleus and it contains negative charged electrons. Electrons have no mass but are charged with a negative charge that keeps them. I really hope this helps :)

Explanation:

There is a helpful video that actually explains the structure of an atom in a rather fun way in just 2 minutes. It really does help big time and it's kinda funny if you look it up on YT and watch:

Have a wonderful great day :)

How many formula units make up 24.2 g of magnesium chloride (MgCl2)?<br><br> Help!!

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Approximately $1.53 \times 10^{23}$ formula units ( $0.254\; \rm mol$ ).

Explanation:

Refer to a modern periodic table for the relative atomic mass of magnesium ( $\rm Mg$ ) and chlorine ( $\rm Cl$ ):

$\rm Mg$ : $24.305$ .
$\rm Cl$ : $35.45$ .

In other words, the mass of $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Mg$ atoms would be (approximately) $24.305\; \rm g$ .

Likewise, the mass of $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Cl$ atoms would be approximately $35.45\; \rm g$ .

One formula unit of the ionic compound $\rm MgCl_{2}$ includes exactly as many atoms as there are in the given formula. The formula mass of a compound is the mass of $1\; \rm mol$ of the formula units of this compound.

The formula $\rm MgCl_{2}$ includes one $\rm Mg$ atom and two $\rm Cl$ atoms.

Hence, every formula unit of $\rm MgCl_{2} \!$ would include the same number of atoms: one $\rm Mg\!$ atom and two $\rm Cl\!$ atoms. There would be $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Mg$ atoms and $2\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Cl$ atoms in $1\; \rm mol\!$ of $\rm MgCl_{2}$ formula units.

Thus, the mass of $1\; \rm mol\!$ of $\rm MgCl_{2}$ formula units would be equal to the mass of $1\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Mg$ atoms plus the mass of $2\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Cl$ atoms. (The mass of $1\; \rm mol\!\!$ of each atom could be found from the relative atomic mass of each element.)

$\begin{aligned}& M({\rm MgCl_{2}}) \\ =\; & 24.305\; {\rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} + 2\times {\rm 35.45 \; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \\ =\; & 95.205\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

In other words, the formula mass of $\rm MgCl_{2}$ is $95.205\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Therefore, the number of formula units in $m = 24.2\; \rm g$ of $\rm MgCl_{2}$ would be:

$\begin{aligned}n &= \frac{m({\rm MgCl_{2}})}{M({\rm MgCl_{2}})} \\ &= \frac{24.2\; \rm g}{95.205\; \rm g\cdot mol^{-1}} \\ & \approx 0.254\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

Multiple $n$ by Avogadro's Number $N_{A} \approx 6.022 \times 10^{23}\; \rm mol^{-1}$ to estimate the number of formula units in $0.254\; \rm mol$ :

$\begin{aligned}N &= n \cdot N_{A} \\ &\approx 0.254\; \rm mol \times 6.022 \times 10^{23}\; \rm mol^{-1} \\ &\approx 1.53\times 10^{23}\end{aligned}$ .
