How can two atoms have the same mass but different charges?

Chemistry

d1i1m1o1n [39]3 years ago
3 0

The answer is: two atoms have same number of protons and neutrons, but different number of electrons.

Mass number (A) is the total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus.

Atomic mass (ma) is approximately equivalent to the number of protons and neutrons in the atom.

For example, chlorine atom (Cl) and chlorine anion (Cl⁻).

Similarities:

1) atomic number is the same. Both, chlorine atom and anion, have atomic number 17. They have 17 protons in nucleus of an atom.

2) both are the same element.

Difference:  

1) chlorine atom (Cl) has neutral change and chlorine anion (chloride ion Cl⁻) has negative charge, because chlorine anion has one electron more.

Write and balance sodium when it burns in air to form sodium peroxide​
Zanzabum

Answer:7.229 grams of oxygen is formed by the complete reaction of 35.23 g of metallic sodium with oxygen at 130–200 °C, a process that generates sodium oxide, which in a separate stage absorbs oxygen: 4 Na + O2 → 2 Na2O. The ozone oxidizes the sodium to form sodium peroxide.

RSB [31]

Answer:

Explanation:  Rutherford model, also called Rutherford atomic model, nuclear atom, or planetary model of the atom, description of the structure of atoms proposed (1911) by the New Zealand-born physicist Ernest Rutherford. The model described the atom as a tiny, dense, positively charged core called a nucleus, in which nearly all the mass is concentrated, around which the light, negative constituents, called electrons, circulate at some distance, much like planets revolving around the Sun. Hope that helps!

Ammonia, NH3 is a common base with Kb of 1.8 X 10-5. For a solution of 0.150 M NH3:
Vesnalui [34]

The concentrations : 0.15 M

pH=11.21

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The ionization of ammonia in water :

NH₃+H₂O⇒NH₄OH

NH₃+H₂O⇒NH₄⁺ + OH⁻

The concentrations of all species present in the solution = 0.15 M

Kb=1.8 x 10⁻⁵

M=0.15

\tt [OH^-]=\sqrt{Kb.M}\\\\(OH^-]=\sqrt{1.8\times 10^{-5}\times 0.15}\\\\(OH^-]=\sqrt{2.7\times 10^{-6}}=1.64\times 10^{-3}

\tt pOH=-log[OH^-]\\\\pOH=3-log~1.64=2.79\\\\pH=14-2.79=11.21
