Why would an atom have zero charge

Chemistry

iragen [17]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

The overall charge of an atom is zero. ... The charge from a proton or electron are of equal strength, therefore if an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, it will be electrically neutral. However, atoms are not always electrically neutral, in which case they are called ions.

Explanation:

Sorry if it's wrong!!!!

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Crystals can be made from methanol by recrystallizing the plant extract from methanol.

The methanol/water system is heated rapidly using a hot plate and the plant extract dissolves in the heating solution until a clear solution is obtained.

The solution is now cooled rapidly. The interior of the flask used for the re crystallization may even by scratched to assist the quick formation of crystals. Large crystals of plant compounds may be obtained using this method. This process should be carried out in a fume hood because of the toxicity of methanol.

Arrange the components of the electron transport chain in order from least electronegative to most electronegative thereby indic

choli [55]

The least electronegative component in the electron transport chain is the Hydrogen ion.
The more electronegative is NAD+
The other component is H2O,
Next are the energy carrier molecules which are the ADP and ATP
And finally, the most electronegative is O2.

Is 13.0 mv at 25 °c. calculate the concentration of the zn2 (aq) ion at the cathode?

Andrews [41]

Answer:
Zn =â‡’ Zn+2(0.10) + 2e- (anode)
Zn+2(?M) + 2e- === Zn(s) (cathode)

Zn + Zn+2(?M) ===â‡’ Zn+2(0.10) + Zn
E = E^o -0.0592 log Q; in this case E^o is zero.
E = - 0.0592 /n logQ where n is the number of electrons transferred, in this
case n = 2
23 mV x 1 volt/1000mv = 0.023 Volts
0.023 = -0.0592 / 2 log(0.10) / [Zn+2]
0.023 = -0.0296 { log 0.10 â€“ log [Zn+2] }
0.023 = -0.0296{ -1 - log[Zn+2] }
0.023 = +0.0296 + 0.0296log[Zn+2]
-0.0066 = 0.0296log[Zn+2]
-0.22= log[Zn+2]
[Zn+2] = 10^-0.22 = 0.603 Molar

Is O2 always a double bond?

Dima020 [189]

O-O single bonds and H-O single bonds in $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ molecules.
H-O single bonds in $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecules.
O=O double bonds in $\text{O}_2$ molecules.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

How many valence electrons do atoms in each molecule need for them to be stable?

Each H atom needs two valence electrons to be stable.
Each atom of an element other than H needs eight valence electron to be stable.

There are two H atoms and two O atoms in an $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ molecule. Atoms in each $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ need $2 \times 1 + 2\times 2 = 6$ more electrons to be stable.
There are two H atoms and one O atom in an $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecule. Atoms in each $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecule need $2 \times 1 + 2= 4$ more electrons to be stable.
There are two O atoms in an $\text{O}_2$ molecule. Atoms in each $\text{O}_2$ molecule need $2 \times 2 = 4$ more electrons to be stable.

How many chemical bonds in each molecule?

Each chemical bond adds one valence electron to each bonding atom. Each chemical bond connects two atoms. As a result, each chemical bond adds two valence electrons to the molecule.

Each $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ molecule needs $6 / 2 = 3$ chemical bonds.
Each $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecule needs $4 / 2 = 2$ chemical bonds.
Each $\text{O}_2$ molecule needs $4 /2= 2$ chemical bonds.

What chemical bonds are these? Again, each H atom needs only one more valence electron to be stable. It will share only one electron with O and form one H-O bond. The rest of the chemical bonds are between O atoms.

There are two H atoms in each $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ molecule, which form two H-O bonds. Two of the three chemical bonds in this molecule are H-O. The other is an O-O single bond between the two O atoms.
There are two H atoms in each $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecule, which form two H-O bonds. Both chemical bonds in this molecule are H-O. There's no O-O bond in this molecule.
There is no H atom in $\text{O}_2$ molecules. Both chemical bonds are between O atoms. However, there are only two O atoms. There must be two chemical bonds between the two O atoms. That bond will be an O-O double bond.
