Describe the distribution of mass within an atom

Chemistry
2 answers:
Nikitich [7]3 years ago
7 0

There are 2 places where charge is located in the atom:

the nucleus contains neutrons (zero charge) and protons (positive charge)

Around the nucleus there are electrons located on electron shields and the charge of electrons is equal to the charge of protons in the nucleus, but have negative sign.

To sum it all up we can say that the charge of protons in the nucleus is reduced by the charge of electrons on the orbits to make the atom electrically neutral.

Answer:

The nuclei of most atoms also contain neutrons . The masses of subatomic particles are very tiny. ... Since the nucleus contains protons and neutrons, most of the mass of an atom is concentrated in its nucleus. Protons and electrons have electrical charges that are equal and opposite.

Calculate the molar mass of iron(III) sulfide. Round your answer to the nearest 0.1 and include units to receive credit.
Igoryamba

Answer:

207.89g

Explanation:

The formula of the compound is:

        Fe₂S₃  

Find the molar mass of the compound;

  Atomic mass of Fe  = 55.845g/mol

                              S  = 32.065g/mol

Now;

  Molar mass of  Fe₂S₃   = 2 (55.845) + 3 (32.065)

                                         = 207.89g

Rank the following atoms in order of decreasing first ionization energies (i.e., highest to lowest): Li, Be, Ba, F.
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The order is:

F >Be >Li >Ba

Explanation:

Electrons are held in atoms by their  attraction to the nucleus which means that to remove an electron from the atom energy is needed.

The ionization energy is the minimum energy necessary to remove an electron from an atom in the gas phase and ground state, the electron removed being the outermost, that is, the furthest from the nucleus. The further away the electron is from the nucleus, the easier it is to remove it, that is, the less energy is needed.

By increasing the atomic number of the elements of the same group, the nuclear attraction on the outermost electron decreases, since the atomic radius increases. Then the ionization energy decreases. In other words, in a group it decreases from top to bottom because the size of the atom increases and it is easier to remove an external electron.

By increasing the atomic number of the elements of the same period, the nuclear attraction on the outermost electron increases, since the atomic radius decreases. Therefore, in a period, as the atomic number increases, the ionization energy increases. In summary, in a period it increases from left to right as the effective nuclear charge increases and it increases thanks to the decrease in the size of the atom.

Taking these considerations into account, the order is:

<u><em>F >Be >Li >Ba</em></u>
