What is the only part of an atom that cannot change (either protons, neutrons, or electrons)?

1 answer:

3 0

The number of protons never changes in an atom. More electrons means a negative charge and fewer means a positive charge. Once an atom has an electrical charge it is called an ion. In an ion the atomic number and atomic mass do not change from the original.

If you have a polyatomic anion of Ammonium (NH41+), how many valence electrons must your Lewis Structure have?

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

One can draw the 3-dimensional structure of an atom once they have the Lewis Structure of an atom. The 3-dimensional geometrical structure of ammonium, NH4+ is referred to as Tetrahedral. ... But the + sign decrees that NH4+ has 8 valence shell electrons, due to the positive ion.

What atomic or hybrid orbitals make up the sigma bond between Cl and F in chlorine trifluoride, ClF3

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

sp³d¹ hybridization

Explanation:

Given Cl as central element with three F substrates ...

The VSEPR structure indicates 5 hybrid orbitals that contain 2 diamagnetic orbitals (non-bonded e⁻-pairs) and 3 paramagnetic orbitals (single, non-paired electron for covalent bonding with fluorine) giving a trigonal bypyrimidal parent with a T-shaped geometry.

Valence bond theory predicts the following during bonding:

Cl:[Ne]3s²3p²p²p¹3d⁰

=> [Ne]3s²p²p¹p¹d¹

=> [Ne]3(sp³d)²(sp³d)²(sp³d)¹(sp³d)¹(sp³d)¹

giving 3 ( [Cl](sp³d) - [F]2p¹ ) sigma bonds and 2 non-bonded pairs on Cl.

Note the following images:

Non-bonded electron pairs are in plane of parent geometry and Fluorides covalently bonded to central element Chloride forming the T-shaped geometry.

How do the differences in the polyatomic ions po3 3- and po4 3- help you determine whether each ends in -ite or -ate?

Tcecarenko [31]

There is a rule in naming polyatomic anions containing oxygen. Those names ending in –ate are given to the most common oxyanion of an element. While those names ending in –ite are for those that contains fewer O atom for the same charge. Since P $PO_{3} ^{3-}$ has fewer O atoms, its name ends in –ite. Thus, P $PO_{3} ^{3-}$ is phosphite while P $PO_{4} ^{3-}$ is phosphate.
