Which statement best describes an electron

Chemistry
2 answers:
myrzilka [38]3 years ago
7 0

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option 1.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are three subatomic particles in an atom. They are: electrons, protons and neutrons.

  • <u>Protons:</u> They carry positive charge and are found in nucleus.
  • <u>Electrons:</u> They carry negative charge and are found around the nucleus.
  • <u>Neutrons:</u> They dos not carry any charge and are found in nucleus.

Mass of protons and neutrons are almost same and they both contribute to the mass of an atom.

Mass of electrons is very negligible as compared to protons and neutrons.

Masses of the subatomic particles:

Mass of protons = 1.007276 u

Mass of neutrons = 1.008664 u

Mass of electrons = 0.00054858 u

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

The best statement that describes electron is: it has a smaller mass than a proton and a negative charge. The correct answer is option 1.

There are 3 main subatomic particles that form an atom, and these include protons, neutrons, and electrons.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Protons are positively charged and can be found in the nucleus of an atom (the nucleus is the center of an atom). They are usually represented with a + sign

Neutrons do not have any charge and are also found within the nucleus of an atom. In other words, they possess no electrical charge. They are also very important within the nucleus as it helps to hold the protons together.

All protons within the center of an atom are identical to each other and the same is for the protons.

Electrons are tiny particles that orbits around the nucleus. Electrons are negatively charged and it was the first subatomic particles to be discovered.

Proton and neutrons are of almost the same mass but their mass is massive compared to that of an electron. The mass of both protons and neutrons is about 2000 times the mass of electrons.

Therefore, the best statement that describes electrons is that it has a smaller mass than a proton and a negative charge.

HC]A laboratory experiment requires 2.0 L of a 1.5 M solution of hydrochloric acid (HCl), but the only available HCl is a 12.0 M
andreyandreev [35.5K]

The amount of the solute is constant during dilution. So the mole number of HCl is 2*1.5=3 mole. The volume of HCl stock is 3/12=0.25 L. So using 0.25 L stock solution and dilute to 2.0 L.

Study the graph in Figure 6.32 and answer to these questions. (see attached image)
Dimas [21]

Hey there :)

We can see that the solubility of salt increases with increasing temperature. This happens with most substances.

To find out the maximum mass of copper sulfate that can be dissolved in water at these temperatures, just interpret the graph.

Considering Y-axis as g copper sulfate/100 g water and the X-axis as the temperature in °C:-

<u>1)</u>

a: <u>0 °C - 14 g of copper sulfate/100 g of water</u>

b: <u>50 °C - 34 g of copper sulfate/100 g of water</u>

c: <u>90 °C - 66 g of copper sulfate/100 g of </u><u>water</u>

<u>2)</u> From the graph, we can infer that temperature affects the solubility of the salt.

How much heat is required to change the temperature of two cups of water (500 g) from room temperature (25◦C) to boiling? Specif
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

c. 157 KJ

Explanation:

Q= mC dT    dT= 100°C(boiling point) - 25°C=75°C

Q= (500 g * 4.184 J/g °C * 75 °C)

Q= 156900 J= 157 KJ
