Neutrons were discovered in 1932, more than 10 years after the existence of isotopes was confirmed. What property of electrons a

nd protons led to their discovery? Suggest a possible reason why neutrons were the last of the three classic subatomic particles to be discovered.

Protons and neutrons are the sub-atomic particles present in the nucleus of an atom where as electrons are present revolving round the nucleus in orbits. Electrons are negatively charged, protons are positively charged where as a neutron is a neutral species. It is the presence of electric charge that lead to the discovery of electrons (negative charge) and protons (positive charge), while it took time to discover neutral as they were electrically neutral species. Neutrons carrying no charge were not detected easily by passing electromagnetic radiations. Therefore, neutrons were the last of the three subatomic particles, to be discovered.

Why k has more shielding effect than Na?​
lara [203]

Explanation:

As the charge of all electrons are equal, the repulsive force exerted by each of them is also going to be equal. So, as K has more electrons repulsing its valence electron than Na, it has greater electron shielding.

Magnesium metal (0.100 mol) and a volume of aqueous hydrochloric acid that contains 0.500 mol of HCl are combined and react to c
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

2.24 L of hydrogen gas, measured at STP, are produced.

Explanation:

Given, Moles of magnesium metal, Mg = 0.100 mol

Moles of hydrochloric acid, HCl = 0.500 mol

According to the reaction shown below:-

Mg_{(s)} + 2HCl_{(aq)}\rightarrow MgCl_2_{(aq)} + H_2_{(g)}

1 mole of Mg reacts with 2 moles of HCl

0.100 mol of Mg reacts with 2*0.100 mol of HCl

Moles of HCl must react = 0.200 mol

Available moles of HCl = 0.500 moles

Limiting reagent is the one which is present in small amount. Thus, Mg is limiting reagent.

The formation of the product is governed by the limiting reagent. So,

1 mole of Mg on reaction forms 1 mole of H_2

0.100 mole of Mg on reaction forms 0.100 mole of H_2

Mole of H_2 = 0.100 mol

At STP,  

Pressure = 1 atm  

Temperature = 273.15 K

Volume = ?

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

1 atm × V L = 0.100 × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 273.15 K  

<u>⇒V = 2.24 L</u>

2.24 L of hydrogen gas, measured at STP, are produced.
