Answer:
have the same number of atoms of each element in the reactants and in the products
Explanation:
<em>The basic principle in balancing a chemical equation would simply be to have the same number of atoms of each element in the reactants and in the products.</em>
<u>A balanced chemical equation is one that has the same number of atoms of each element on the reactant and the product's side of the equation.</u> For example, consider the equation below:
On the reactant's side, there are 2 atoms of H and O while there are 2 atoms of H and 1 atom of O on the product's side. This is an imbalanced equation. In order for it to be balanced, the number of atoms of H and O on the reactant side must be equal to the number of H and O on the product side as below.
Answer:
B. The number of atoms in a molecular formula is always greater than the number of atoms in an empirical formula.
Explanation:
It is not always true that the number of atoms in a molecular formula is always greater than the number of atoms in an empirical formula.
The chemical formulae of a compound are of two main types;
- The empirical formula is that which expresses the composition of a compound in the simplest whole number ratio.
- The molecular formula shows the actual ratio of the atoms in a compound.
Sometimes the number of atoms in the molecular and empirical formula can be the same.
Also, the number of atoms in the molecular formula is always greater than that of the empirical formula when they are not the same.
<h2>
Answer:</h2>
Nucleus.
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
- In an atom the nucleus has an overall positive charge as it contains the protons.
- Every atom has no overall charge (neutral). While atoms do contain charged particles, they have the same number of positive protons as negative electrons( for example a sodium atom has 11 electrons which are of negative charge and 11 protons which are of positive charge).
- These opposite charges cancel each other out making the atom neutral.
Result: Nucleus is the overall positive charge of an atom.
