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).

A sample of gas has a volume of 75.0 mL at 30.0 psi. Determine the pressure of the gas if its volume is changed to 15 mL and its
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

5.995 psi

Explanation:

30 psi = 2.04 atm

75 mL = 0.075 L

15 mL = 0.015 L

0.075 L/ 2.04 atm = 0.015 L/x

0.075x = 0.0306

x = 0.408

0.408 atm = 5.995 psi

How does the geosphere and biosphere interact
Vlada [557]

The geosphere, in turn, reflects the sun's energy back into the atmosphere. The biosphere receives gases, heat, and sunlight (energy) from the atmosphere.

Explanation:

  • The geosphere, in return reflects the sun's energy back into the atmosphere. The biosphere receives gases, heat, and sunlight energy from the atmosphere.
  • Scientists divide the planet into two the main components: the biosphere, which consists of all life.
  • The hydrosphere interacts with the geosphere when particles of water or rain cause land formations to erode.
  • biosphere is the part of the earth and its atmosphere capable of supporting life.
  • Geo sphere is the solid body of the earth.
  • Biosphere is the totality of living organisms and their environment.

How many atoms of carbon are in 24 grams of carbon?
Mamont248 [21]
(3 grams of carbon) x (1 mole of carbon/12 grams ) =3/12 = 1/4 of a mole of carbon. Then... ( 1/4 of a mole) x (6.02 x 10^23 atoms/mole) = approximately 1.5 x 10^23 atoms.

Which is a cause of polarity in water molecules? partial negative charge on the hydrogen atoms partial positive charge on the ox
Tamiku [17]

Explanation:

Water is a polar solvent as the hydrogen and oxygen atom has large difference in their electronegativities.

Oxygen atom is highly electronegative as compared to hydrogen atom therefore, it pulls the electrons of hydrogen atom closer towards itself.

As a result, two poles will create forming a partial positive charge on the hydrogen atom and partial negative charge on the oxygen atom.

Thus, we can conclude that high electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen is the cause of polarity in water molecules.

What is the answer to this question
Stels [109]

Answer:

38 kg/m³

0.038 g/mL

Explanation:

Volume of a cube is the side length cubed.

V = s³

Given s = 0.65 m:

V = (0.65 m)³

V ≈ 0.275 m³

The mass is 10.5 kg.  The density is the mass divided by volume:

ρ = (10.5 kg) / (0.275 m³)

ρ ≈ 38 kg/m³

Or:

ρ ≈ 0.038 g/mL
