All are true except the statement that ions are formed by changing the number protons in an atom’s nucleus.

A neutral atom contains the same number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge).

If there are more electrons than protons, the atom becomes a negative ion.

If there are fewer electrons than protons, the atom becomes a positive ion.

The protons are in the nucleus, where we can’t easily get at them. The electrons are outside the nucleus, so other chemicals can easily get at them and either remove them or add to their number.

Metals have only a few valence electrons, so it is fairly easy to remove them and form positive ions.

serious [3.7K]

Answer:N=1151724138 atoms

Explanation:The atomic radius of molybdenum atom is 145 picometers so lining up molybdenum atoms is like lining up the beads of radius 145 picometers

so one bead would cover the length of 145*2=290 picometers

hence the atom's diameter =D=290 picometers

D=290 *10^(-12)

$D=290/1000000000000$

also

Distance span= 33.4 cm

Distance span= 0.334m

As the Distance span adds up with no of atoms the resulting formula is

Distance span by atoms= No of atoms * atom's diameter

$N=\frac{Distance Spaned}{Atom's Diameter } \\N=0.334/(0.000000000290)\\N=1151724138 atoms$

Because of how long it takes to form underground and then it moves to the surface and cools rapidly

What is the molar mass of sulfur trioxide?

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

80.07 g/mol

Explanation:

Sulfur's g/mol = 32.07

Oxygen's g/mol = 16.00

32.07 + 16.00(3) = 80.07 g/mol

A balloon originally had a volume of 4.39 L at 44C and a pressure of 729 torr to what temperature must the balloon be cooled

VMariaS [17]

The new temperature : 11.56 °C

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Boyle's law and Gay Lussac's law

$\tt \dfrac{P_1.V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2.V_2}{T_2}$

P1 = initial gas pressure (N/m² or Pa)

V1 = initial gas volume (m³)

P2 = final gas pressure

V2 = final gas volume

T1 = initial gas temperature (K)

T2 = final gas temperature

V₁=4.39 L

T₁=44+273=317 K

P₁ = 729 torr = 0,959211 atm

V₂=3.78 L

P₂= 1 atm

$\tt \dfrac{0.959211\times 4.39}{317}=\dfrac{1\times 3.78}{T_2}\\\\T_2=\dfrac{1\times 3.78\times 317}{0.959211\times 4.39}\\\\T_2=284.559~K=11.56~C$
