Depending on what the original charge of the atom is, when an e- is added, that charge will drop by one. If an atom loses an e- the charge will be one higher.

Answer:

Atoms do not always contain the same number of electrons and protons, although this state is common. When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. In contrast, when an atom loses or gains an electron (or the rarer case of losing or gaining a proton, which requires a nuclear reaction), the total charges add up to something other than zero. The atom is then said to be electrically charged, or "ionized". There is a major difference between the neutral state and the ionized state. In the neutral state, an atom has little electromagnetic attraction to other atoms. Note that the electric field of a neutral atom is weak, but is not exactly zero because the atom is not a point particle. If another atom gets close enough to the atom, they may begin to share electrons. Chemically, we say that the atoms have formed bonds.

What is the likely impact of water's high specific heat on life on Earth? (3 points)
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Marine life is least affected by the temperature fluctuations of the atmosphere.

Explanation:

The high specific heat capacity of water means that it takes much more energy to raise the temperatures of water by one (1) degree than land. This means that on a hot sunny day, land temperatures would increase dramatically while ocean temperatures would only rise slightly. Conversely,  at night, the land cools rapidly while oceans cool slowly hence the temperatures drop slightly.

What reaction will take place if h2o is added to a mixture of nanh2/nh3? draw the products of the reaction (without sodium ion)?
Maru [420]

When sodium amide i.e.NaNH_{2} reacts with water i.e. H_{2}O results in the formation of sodium hydroxide i.e. NaOH and ammonia NH_{3}.

The chemical reaction is given by:

NaNH_{2}+H_{2}O\rightarrow NH_{3}+NaOH

Now, when ammonia i.e.NH_{3} reacts with water results in the formation of ammonium hydroxide i.e. NH_{4}OH

The chemical reaction is given by:

NH_{3}+H_{2}O\rightarrow NH_4OH

Thus, the products of the above reactions are ammonia and ammonium hydroxide (without sodium ion).

The structures of the products are shown in figure (1): ammonium hydroxide and figure (2) ammonia.

Drag the types of electromagnetic waves to place them in order of increasing frequency.
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer: UV Light is the highest!

Explanation:

Ultraviolet Light has the highest frequency between the three, Visible Light would stay in the middle since its in the middle of the spectrum, thus making Infrared the lowest.
