Answer:

a) an atom that has either gained or lost electron(s)

Explanation:

A neutral atom is an atom that has equal numbers of protons and electrons, its charge is neutral. These atoms are not stable (exceptions are the noble gases), so they need to gain, lose or share electrons to be stable.

When an atom gains or loses electrons, it became an ion, and its charge will not be more neutral. If it gains electrons (which are negative particles) it will have a negative charge and will be called anion; if it loses electrons, it will have a positive charge and will be called cation.

A 250-mg sample of carbon from wood underwent 15300 carbon-14 disintegrations in 36 hours. Estimate the time since the death of
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 9935 years approximately.

Explanation:

Let z be the age in years to be found:

(15300 disintegrations) x (1.0 g / 0.250 g) / (1.84×10^4 disintegrations)

= 3.3260

half life of carbon = (1/2)^(z/5730 yr)

Solve for z

3.3260 = (1/2)^(z/5730)

Take the log of both sides:

log 3.3260  = (z/5730) log (1/2)

log 3.3260 / log (1/2) = z/5730

z = 5730 log 3.3260 / log (1/2)

= 1.73378816*5730

= 9935 years approximately.

A. Density of Liquids
morpeh [17]

Answer:

Mass of liquid: 20.421g

Density= 1.0109405940594 g/mL

Explanation:

Mass of liquid

To find mass of liquid you take the mass of beaker + liquid (171.223g) and subtract it from the Mass of beaker (beaker without the water). The difference is the answer.

171.223g - 150.802g = 20.421g

Density

To find density you use the formula Mass/Volume. Take the Volume given, and the mass of the liquid you just found.

20.421mL/20.421g = 1.0109405940594 g/mL

What is the orbital hybridization of a central atom that has one lone pair and bonds to:
svlad2 [7]

sp^3d is the type of orbital hybridization of a central atom that has one lone pair and bonds to four other atoms.

<h3>What is orbital hybridization?</h3>

In the context of valence bond theory, orbital hybridization (or hybridisation) refers to the idea of combining atomic orbitals to create new hybrid orbitals (with energies, forms, etc., distinct from the component atomic orbitals) suited for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds.

For instance, the valence-shell s orbital joins with three valence-shell p orbitals to generate four equivalent sp3 mixes that are arranged in a tetrahedral configuration around the carbon atom to connect to four distinct atoms.

Hybrid orbitals are symmetrically arranged in space and are helpful in the explanation of molecular geometry and atomic bonding characteristics. Usually, atomic orbitals with similar energies are combined to form hybrid orbitals.

Do atoms lend and borrow electrons from inner shells
zaharov [31]
False. They don't borrow electrons at all. They already have their respective electron affinities. This is called as electronegativity, and it's an occurence where it already has its own from its actual structure. It never borrows any electrons at all.
