<em><u>Protons</u></em><em><u> = Positive Charge</u></em>

<em><u>Neutrons</u></em><em><u> = Neutral Charge/No Charge</u></em>

<em><u>Electrons</u></em><em><u> = Negative Charge</u></em>

<em>This one's simple: electrons have a negative charge, protons have a positive charge and neutrons — as the name implies — are neutral.</em>

<u><em>Protons</em></u>

<em>Elements are differentiated from each other by the number of protons within their nucleus. For example, carbon atoms have six protons in their nucleus. Atoms with seven protons are nitrogen atoms. The number of protons for each element is known as the atomic number and does not change in chemical reactions. In other words, the elements at the beginning of a reaction -- known as the reactants -- are the same elements at the end of a reaction -- known as the products.</em>

<em><u>Neutrons</u></em>

<em>Although elements have a specific number of protons, atoms of the same element may have different numbers of neutrons and are termed isotopes. For example, hydrogen has three isotopes, each with a single proton. Protium is an isotope of hydrogen with zero neutrons, deuterium has one neutron, and tritium has two neutrons. Although the number of neutrons may differ between isotopes, the isotopes all behave in a chemically similar manner.</em>

<em />

<u><em>Electrons</em></u>

<em>Electrons are not bound as tightly to the atom as protons and neutrons. This allows electrons to be lost, gained or even shared between atoms. Atoms that lose an electron become ions with a +1 charge, since there is now one more proton than electrons. Atoms that gain an electron have one more electron than protons and become a -1 ion. Chemical bonds that hold atoms together to form compounds result from these changes in the number and arrangement of electrons.</em>

What mass of Na2SO4is needed to make 2.5 L of 2.0 Msolution? (Na = 23 g; S = 32 g; O = 16 g)
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

mass (g) needed = 710.2 grams Na₂SO₄(s)

Explanation:

Needed is 2.5 Liters of 2.0M Na₂SO₄; formula wt Na₂SO₄ = 142.04g/mol.

mass (grams) of Na₂SO₄(s) = Molarity needed x Volume needed in Liters x Formula Wt of solute

mass (grams) of Na₂SO₄(s) = (2.5L)(2.0M)(142.04g/mol) = 710.2 grams Na₂SO₄(s)

Mixing: Transfer 710.4 grams Na₂SO₄ into mixing vessel and add water-solvent up to but not to exceed 2.5 Liters total volume. Mix until dissolved.

Gives 2.5 Liters of 2.0M Na₂SO₄(aq) solution.

How many electrons would an uncharged atom of nitrogen have
dybincka [34]
The atomic number represents the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. In an uncharged atom, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons. For example, carbon atoms include six protons and six electrons, so carbon's atomic number is 6.

Calculate the molality of 75.0 grams of MgCl2 (molar mass=95.21 g/mol) dissolved in 500.0 g of solvent.
nordsb [41]

<u>Answer:</u> The molality of magnesium chloride is 1.58 m

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molality of solution, we use the equation:

\text{Molality}=\frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}

Where,

m_{solute} = Given mass of solute (magnesium chloride) = 75.0

M_{solute} = Molar mass of solute (magnesium chloride) = 95.21 g/mol  

W_{solvent} = Mass of solvent = 500.0 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molality of }MgCl_2=\frac{75.0\times 1000}{95.21\times 500.0}\\\\\text{Molality of }MgCl_2=1.58m

Hence, the molality of magnesium chloride is 1.58 m
