How the model of an atom has changed over time because?

1 answer:

7 0

It was found that atoms are made up of even smaller particles (through experiments), and the models changed because how we thought atoms were composed turned out to be wrong, and corrections were made accordingly.

What is the difference between atomic mass, relative atomic mass and average atomic mass

vesna_86 [32]

$\bold{\huge{\underline{\purple{ Answer }}}}$

Difference between Atomic mass, relative atomic mass and average atomic mass :-

<h3>Atomic Mass :-</h3>

Atomic mass is the mass of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus of an atom .
It is always calculated for a single element and having direct value
For isotopes also, the atomic mass is calculated separately . Example :- Carbon 12 , carbon 13 and carbon 14 have different atomic mass. 
The SI unit of Atomic mass is " u" and "amu"

<h3>Relative Atomic mass :-</h3>

Relative atomic mass is mean mass of the atoms of an element which is compared to the 1/12th mass of carbon - 12 .
Carbon - 12 is taken as a relative when we calculate the relative atomic mass of any element
For calculating relative atomic mass, we need to know the masses, percentage and abundance of all types of elements
Relative atomic mass is a dimension less quantity

<h3>Average Atomic Mass :-</h3>

Average atomic mass is the average mass of an atoms of a particular element by considering it's isotopes
While we calculate average atomic mass is a standardized number. Whereas, Average atomic mass sometimes varies geologically .
It also includes percentage, abundance and masses of given element .
In average atomic mass, We do not compare mean value with the 1/12 mass of carbon - 12
The unit of Average atomic mass is "Amu" or " u " .

1. Calculate the RFM of Fe(NO3)2

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

The Relative Formula Mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ is 179.8524 grams

Explanation:

The Relative Formula Mass is the mass of one mole of a compound expressed in grams, obtained by adding together the Relative Atomic Masses, RAM, of the elements which makes the compound

The Relative Formula Mass of a compound is the same as its Relative Molecular Mass

The relative formula mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ is given as follows;

The relative atomic mass of Fe = 55.845 amu

The relative atomic mass of nitrogen, N = 14.0067 amu

The relative atomic mass of oxygen, O = 15.999 amu

Therefore, we have;

The formula mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ = (55.845 + 2×(14.0067 + 3×15.999)) amu = 179.8524 amu

The Relative Formula Mass of Fe(NO₃)₂ = 179.8524 grams.

How is chemical bonding useful to our lives?

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Three types of chemical bonds are important in human physiology, because they hold together substances that are used by the body for critical aspects of homeostasis, signaling, and energy production, to name just a few important processes. These are ionic bonds, covalent bonds, and hydrogen bonds.

Why is enthalpy important?

belka [17]

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that, within a closed system, the total amount of energy remains constant. However, energy may change from kinetic to potential and vice versa. The total energy will not have changed. Enthalpy is a measure of the amount of energy that exists in a system at constant pressure.
