Explain clearly what is meant by the statement "The atomic mass of gold is 197.0 amu."

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nostrana [21]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Answer is given below

Explanation:

amu is atomic mass unit. 1 amu indicates (1/12) th of mass of a carbon-12 atom.

Also, 1 amu is equal to average of rest mass of a proton and a neutron. Roughly, it has been estimated that amu indicated number of nucleons (proton+neutron) in an atom.

So, 1 amu means there is 1 nucleon.

So, 197.0 amu means there are 197 number of nucleons in gold.

Again, it has to be remembered that 1 amu = 1 g/mol

Explain why water is polar. Check all that apply. View Available Hint(s) Water is known as a polar molecule because Check all th
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The correct statements that you must check are:

  • The oxygen atom has a greater attraction for electrons than the hydrogen atom does (second statement).

  • The electrons of the covalent bond are not shared equally between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms (fourth statement).

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the relative ability of an atom to pull the electrons in a covalent bond.

Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.20 and oxygen has 3.44. That means that oxygen attracts the electrons more strongly than hydrogen does (second statement).

As consequence, the electrons in the covalent bond H - O of water are not shared equally (fourth statement): the electron density will  be higher around the O atoms.

Of course, this discards the statement telling that hydrogen atom attracts electrons much more strongly than the oxygen atom, and the statement telling that hydrogen and oxigen have same electronegativity.

Such difference in electron densities creates a dipole moment, so you discard the last statement (that the water dipole moment is equal to zero).
