How do you know how many an atom contains and how many electrons the entire ion has either lost or gained?

Chemistry

Mkey [24]3 years ago

If you mean how many electrons an atom contains then this is the same as the atomic number of the atom. For example, the atomic number of oxygen is 8 so it contains 8 protons. Since in a stable atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons, oxygen contains 8 electrons.

If you have an ion and you want to know how many electrons it has lost or gained, you look at the charge. If it is a 2+ ion then it has lost two electrons, if it's a - ion then it has gained an electron. The number of electrons in an ion is the atomic number +/- the charge shown. For example a Mg2+ ion would have 10 electrons as a magnesium atom has 12 electrons and loses two to form the 2+ ion.

What has to be true of a substance for it to dissolve in water?
lord [1]

The polarity of a water molecule comes from the uneven distribution of electron density of hydrogen and oxygen atom. The oxygen in the water molecule is more electronegative than the hydrogen. Water has a partial positive charge near the hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge near the oxygen atom. The result of this electrostatic attraction results in the bond called hydrogen bond. Also, because of this bond, it has the ability to dissolve most of the solutes due to its polarity and bonding.

If the air temperature is the same as the temperature of your skin (about 30◦C), your body cannot get rid of heat by transferrin
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

energy produced per second = 500 J

Heat produced = 500 x .8 = 400 J per second.

If m be the mass of water evaporated per unit hour

m x latent heat = 400 x 60 x 60

= m x 2.42 x 10⁶ = 1.44 x 10⁶

m = .595 kg per hour

b )

volume of water = 595 mL

bottles = 595 / 750

.8 or 4/5 of bottle. per hour.

The density of ethanol is 0.788 g/mL. What is the mass of 157 mL of alcohol?
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 123.72 g</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

<h3>mass = Density × volume</h3>

From the question

volume = 157 mL

density = 0.788 g/mL

We have

mass = 0.788 × 157 = 123.716

We have the final answer as

<h3>123.72 g</h3>

Hope this helps you

A student is trying to calculate the density of a ball. She already knows the mass, but she needs to determine the volume as wel
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

V equals four-thirds times pi times r cubed

Explanation:

Volume = a³ , where a is length of each side. Volume = l × w × h , where l is length, w is width and h is height. Volume = 4/3 πr³ , where r is the radius. Volume = πr²h , where r is the radius and h is the height.

Which groups of the periodic table want to gain electrons? What kind(s) of elements are these groups
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Elements that are metals tend to lose electrons and become positively charged ions called cations. Elements that are nonmetals tend to gain electrons and become negatively charged ions called anions. Metals that are located in column 1A of the periodic table form ions by losing one electron.
