The  characteristic of atoms is

They are the smallest  units of  matter

<u><em> Explanation</em></u>

Atoms are  the  smallest  constituent  units of matter  and they have  properties of chemical  elements.

Atoms  can not  be broken by any  chemical means.

Atoms of an elements combine together    to form compound.

In  addition atoms  consist nucleus  of positively charged protons, neutral neutrons with  negatively charged electrons.

In a series circuit there are 17 light bulbs, each providing 1 ohm of resistance. What is the total resistance?
Sauron [17]

Answer:

17 ohms

Explanation:

Given that,

In a series circuit there are 17 light bulbs, each providing 1 ohm of resistance.

We need to find the total resistance of the circuit.

The equivalent resistance for series combination is given by :

R_{eq}=R_1+R_2+....

For 17 light bulbs, the equivalent resistance is given by :

R_{eq}=R+R+....\text{upto 17 terms}\\\\R_{eq}=17R\\\\=17

Hence, the total resistance is 17 ohms. Hence, the correct option is (d).

How many moles are in 187.54 grams of magnesium chlorate?
Svetlanka [38]

Hey there!

Magnesium chlorate: Mg(ClO₃)₂

Find molar mass.

Mg: 1 x 24.305 = 24.305

Cl: 2 x 35.453 = 70.906

O: 6 x 16 = 96

------------------------------------

                      191.211 g/mol

We have 187.54 grams.

187.54 ÷ 191.211 = 0.9808

There are 0.9808 moles in 187.54 grams of magnesium chlorate.

Hope this helps!

According to VSEPR theory , in which fashion will the bonds and lone pairs of electrons be arranged about the central atom in th
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal, trigonal bipyramidal.

Explanation:

The VSPER theory states that the bonds of sharing electrons and the lone pairs of electrons will repulse as much as possible. So, by the repulsion, the molecule will have some shape.

In the ion PO₄³⁻, the central atom P has 5 electrons in its valence shell, so it needs 3 electrons to be stable. Oxygen has 6 electrons at the valence shell and needs 2 to be stable. 3 oxygens share 1 pair of electrons with P, and the two lone pair remaining in P is shared with the other O, then the central atom makes 4 bonds and has no lone pairs, the shape is tetrahedral.

In the ion H₃O⁺, the central atom O has 6 electrons in its valence shell and needs 2 electrons to be stable. The hydrogen has 1 electron, and need 1 more to be stable. The hydrogens share 1 pair of electrons with the oxygen, then it remains 3 electrons at the central atom, and the VSPER theory states that the shape will be a trigonal pyramidal.

In the AsF₅, the central atom As has 5 valence electrons, and F has 1 electron in its valence shell, so each F shares one pair of electrons with As, and there are no lone pairs in the central atom. For 5 bonds without lone pairs, the shape is trigonal bipyramidal.

What is the mass of 0.257 mol of calcium nitrate?
poizon [28]

Answer: 42.14 g

Explanation:      calcium nitrate -  Ca(NO_{3} )_{2}

                   , the molar mass of calcium nitrate = 164 g

<h3>                   formula used = given mass/molar mass= no of moles </h3>

                   mass required =0.257*164

                                               =42.14 g

A gas sample occupies 3.25 liters at 297.5K and 2.4 atm. Determine the temperature at which the gas will occupy 4.25 L at 1.50 a
lorasvet [3.4K]

For equal moles of  gas, temperature can be calculated from ideal gas equation as follows:

P×V=n×R×T ...... (1)

Initial volume, temperature and pressure of gas is 3.25 L, 297.5 K and 2.4 atm respectively.

2.4 atm ×3.25 L=n×R×297.5 K

Rearranging,

n\times R=0.0262 atm L/K

Similarly at final pressure and volume from equation (1),

1.5 atm ×4.25 L=n×R×T

Putting the value of n×R in above equation,

1.5 atm ×4.25 L=0.0262 (atm L/K)×T

Thus, T=243.32 K
