If atoms are made of smaller parts such as electrons, why are atoms considered the basic unit of matter?

Firstly, atoms are also composed of protons and neutrons as well as electrons.

Now, to answer your question... Atoms are the smallest you can go while still having it be an element, hence the definition ''<span>the basic unit of a chemical element.'' It is the smallest unit that has the chemical properties of an element. However, atoms still need these charges to be atoms. Without electrons, they'd just be ions. Hope this helps.</span>

when an electron gets closer to the nucleus does the attraction or repulsion grow weaker or stronger?
klasskru [66]

Answer:

Weaker

Explanation:

Since the charges on nucleus and electron are opposite in nature, an attractive force exists between them. It is true in generally, that when objects are made to move closer together in the direction of an attractive force, potential energy decreases (and increases whenever attracting objects are force to move apart).

In column chromatography (microscale), after loading it with solvent and adsorbent and prior to loading the sample, what level s
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

You should allow the solvent to drop to the level of the adsorvent, so it would never run dry.

When you let your sample to run dry it will never finish to flow from the adsorbent depending of it polarity.

Water should not be used because it can dissolve the adsorbent.

You could use another technique to identify the compound, as an infrared or a ultraviolet detector. You can also, if you know the compounds, identify it for the retention time, for example, if you need to detect two compounds, one more polar than the other, and use a polar adsorbent and a non-polar solvent, the first compound to exit the column will be the less polar one, because it will have a bigger interaction with the solvent than the stationary phase (adsorbent) and will go faster, the second will be the more polar one, because it will have a bigger interaction with the stationary phase.

A saturated solution of potassium chlorate is dissolved in 100g of water. If the saturated solution is cooled from 90 degrees Ce
dedylja [7]

Mass would crystallize out : 24 g

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Solubility is the maximum amount of a substance that can dissolve in some solvents. Factors that affect solubility

  • 1. Temperature:
  • 2. Surface area:
  • 3. Solvent type:
  • 4. Stirring process:

We can use solubility graph to solve this.

solubility KClO₃ at 90°C=52 g

solubilty KCl₃ at 60°C= 28 g

Mass would crystallize out = 52 - 28 =24 g
