What happens to an atom if it loses an electron?

Chemistry
1 answer:
jolli1 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

When an atom loses electron(s) it will lose some of its negative charge and so becomes positively charged. A positive ion is formed where an atom has more protons than electrons. In the opposite case when an atom gains electron(s) it becomes negatively charged (more electrons than protons).

An amino acid is usually more soluble in aqueous solvent at pH extremes than it is at a pH near the isolelectric point of the am
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Option B. At pH extremes, the amino acid molecules mostly carry a net charge, thus increasing their solubility in polar solvent.

C. At very low or very high pH, the amino acid molecules have increased charge, thus form more salt bonds with water solvent molecules.

Which of the following could happen when infrared radiation is absorbed by a molecule ?
Leto [7]

Answer:

       E) Intramolecular bond angles change

Explanation:

Infrared Radiation:

IR is electromagnetic radiations. The wavelength i.e. 700nm to 1000 mm of infrared is longer than invisible light and Its frequency is lower than light, that's why it is invisible to light.

  • When IR radiation strike the molecule it absorbed by this molecule.
  • This radiation used to identify and study chemicals.
  • Infrared radiation interact with intra-bonds of the molecule.
  • Bonds in the molecules have vibrational translational and rotational movements
  • Due to these vibration, rotation and translation movement it absorb a radiation of specific frequency and wavelength
  • These movements of bond are very small and absorbs radiations of very low frequency
  • So when Infrared light or radiation absorbed the intra-bonds of the molecule get affected and angles of these bonds changes.
  • As the frequency of the absorbed radiation matches the frequency of the bond that vibrates.

So

The correct option is option E

       E) Intramolecular bond angles change

* Note:

it couldn't be option A as the frequency of IR is not enough to rotate a whole molecule

It Couldn't be option B as IR rations are electromagnetic radiation of longer wave length so it one can not see it with light so how it will glow a molecule

It also not could be the option C as for the excitation of electrons require much higher energy.

It also not the option D as nuclear magnetic spin is associated with nuclear magnetic radiation that are much different from IR.

IgorC [24]

thermal contact

When heat flows from one object or substance to another it is in contact with, the objects or substances are said to be in thermal contact. The state where objects in thermal contact with each other reach the same temperature, no heat flows between them.

Someone answer? You don’t have to answer both if you don’t know.
natima [27]
I’m not sure what the 6 means, but for the first one, the process being shown is photosynthesis that occurs in a plant. The first two compounds are the reactants. The CO2 is carbon dioxide, and the H2O is water. When these two reactants are put together with some sunlight, they create the products. The C6H12O6 is glucose, and the O2 is oxygen.
