It gains electrons. Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles; so when an atom gains an electron it becomes net negative.

Paha777 [63]3 years ago

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is it gains electrons.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are 3 subsatomic particles in an atom: Electrons, neutrons and protons.

Neutrons does not carry any charge on them. They are neutral particles.

Protons carry positive charge on them.

Electrons carry negative charge on them.

In an element, number of protons and electrons remains the same.

When an element looses electrons, the number of protons increases than electrons. Thus, the element will have a positive charge.

When an element gains electrons, the number of electrons is more than the number of protons. Thus, the element will have a negative charge.

Hence, the correct answer is it gains electrons.

Which of the following is not true for an exothermic reaction?
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

The false statement regarding an exothermic reaction is: <em>A.</em><em> the products have a higher enthalpy than reactants</em>

Explanation:

An exothermic reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves the <u>release of energy from the </u><em><u>system to the surroundings</u></em>. Thus <em>increasing the temperature of the surroundings.</em>

In this reaction, the <em>enthalpy or energy of the reactants is greater than the enthalpy or energy of the products</em>.<em> </em>(\Delta H_{f} (Products) < \Delta H_{f} (reactants))

<u>As the enthalpy change of a reaction</u>: \Delta H_{r} = \sum \Delta H_{f} (Products) - \sum \Delta H_{f} (reactants)

Therefore, the <em>enthalpy change for an exothermic reaction is negative</em> (\Delta H_{r} < 0)

B) How does electron gain enthalpy change along a period and in a group?​
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Electron gain enthalpy becomes more and more negative from left to right in a period. As we move across a period from left to right the atomic size decreases and the nuclear charge increases

Select the statements that correctly describe buffers.
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

B) The pH of a buffer solution does not change significantly when a small amount of acid is added.

C) The pH of a buffer solution is determined by the ratio of the concentration of acid to the concentration of base.

Explanation:

Buffer solution is useful in maintaining the pH of a solution constant . It is made of a weak acid and its salt or a weak base and  its salt . Ph of a buffer is given by the following relation .

pH = pKa + log [ A⁻ ] / [ HA ]

A- is a base and HA is a weak acid .

When we add acid , it reacts with A⁻ or base and gets neutralised .

When we add base , it reacts with acid HA and gets neutralised . In this way it maintains the pH of the solution .
