Answer:
A) the number of electrons in the outer shells.
Explanation:
The Bohr's model of the atoms shows that electrons orbits the nucleus in energy levels that are discrete and quantised. Orbital electrons are pulled by the nucleus. The nuclear pull is strongest on the shells closer to the nucleus and weakest as we reach the outermost sphere.
From this model, we see that chemical properties are governed by how much electrons an atom is ready to lose from its outermost shell in which the energy is the lowest. It is the electrons in the outermost shell or valence shell that determines how atoms would behave chemically.
Answer:
1. Diagram C.
2. Diagram A.
Explanation:
1. Calcium atom, Ca has 20 protons and 20 electrons. On the other hand, Calcium ion, Ca^2+ has 20 protons and 18 electrons. This is true because the +2 charge on the calcium ion, Ca^2+ indicates that the calcium atom, Ca has loss 2 electrons.
From the above illustration we can say that calcium ion, Ca^2+ has the following:
Proton = 20
Electron = 18
Therefore, diagram C indicates calcium ion, Ca^2+.
2. Fluorine atom, F has 9 protons and 9 electrons. Fluoride ion, F¯ has 9 protons and 10 electrons. This is so because the –1 charge on the fluoride ion, F¯ indicates that the fluorine atom, F has gained 1 electron.
Thus, we can say that the fluoride ion, F¯ has the following:
Proton = 9
Electron = 10
Therefore, diagram A represent fluoride ion, F¯.
Answer:
4.993 ×10⁻¹¹ J
Explanation:
The <em>nuclear binding energy</em> is the energy equivalent to the mass defect.
The <em>mass defect</em> is the difference between the mass of a nucleus and the sum of the masses of its nucleons.
<em>Calculate the mass defect
</em>
16 p = 16 × 1.007 28 u = 16.116 48 u
16 n = 16 × 1.008 67 u = 16.138 72 u
Total mass of nucleons = 32.255 20 u
- Mass of S-32 = <u>31.972 070 u
</u>
Mass defect = 0.283 13 u
Convert the <em>unified atomic mass units to kilograms</em>.
Mass defect
Use Einstein’s equation to <em>convert the mass defect into energy</em>
Answer:
18 oxygen atoms
Explanation:
in order to from the 6 molecules carbon dioxide and 6 molecules of water you will have a total of 18 oxygen atoms
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Hot air is less dense therefore it rises. Cold air is more closely packed therefore it is more dense. Less dense things rise while more dense things sink.
