Which statement is true about a proton and an electron?

Chemistry
1 answer:
tatyana61 [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: (3) They have different masses and the same charges.

Explanation:

Atoms are mainly composed of three main types of particles (in fact there are more particles that are smaller and make up these main particles): electrons, protons and neutrons.

In the specific case of  <u>electrons</u> and <u>protons</u>, <u>both have the same charge, but electrons have the opposite sign</u>. This means a proton has an electric charge of  +1 and an electron has an electric charge of  −1.

On the other hand, <u>protons have more mass than electrons.</u> In fact, thetex]mass of an electron is about approximately \frac{1}{2000} the mass of a proton, this means these negative charged particles contribute almost nothing to the total mass of an atom (unlike protons, which together with neutrons, make up virtually all of the mass of an atom).

However, each atom that is electrically neutral has the same quantity of electrons as protons.

The Earth is always _______ as it revolves around the sun.
EastWind [94]

Answer

Rotating

Explanation:

The Earth is always being pulled towards the Sun by gravity.

The Earth is not moving fast enough to "escape" the Sun's gravity and leave the solar system, but it is going too fast to be pulled into the Sun. Therefore, it keeps going around and around( roating)- orbiting the Sun.

How many atoms of oxygen are in 0.100 mol of silicon dioxide?
lys-0071 [83]
1) Silicon dioxide formula: SiO2  ....... 2 is a subscript for the O atom

2) From the formula you have 1 molecula of SiO2 contains 1 atom of SiO2

3) Then, 0.100 mol of SiO2 contains 0.1 mol of Si

4) Multiply by Avogadro's number: 0.100mol *  6.022*10^23 atoms/mol= 6.02*10^22 atoms

Answer: 6.02*10^22 atoms
