What is the overall charge of an atom. ​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sveta_85 [38]3 years ago
4 0

Overall, an atom is neutral charged. The Bohr model was for years accepted as the final authority because it agrees so well with experiment and observation. In this model an atom consists of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons. The neutrons are zero charge so we can forget them in looking for charges. For each proton (1 positive charge) there is always 1 electron (1 negative charge) in orbit around the nucleus. thus an atom has a equal number of electrons and protons and their net charge is zero.

We can do things to temporarily up set this natural balance (we call this electricity) but the atoms will eventually return to their naturally balanced state

What is the excess reactant in the combustion of 23 g of methane in the open atmosphere?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer : The excess reactant in the combustion of methane in opem atmosphere is O_{2} molecule.

Solution : Given,

Mass of methane = 23 g

Molar mass of methane = 16.04 g/mole

The Net balanced chemical reaction for combustion of methane is,

CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)

First we have to calculate the moles of methane.

\text{ Moles of methane}=\frac{\text{ Given mass of methane}}{\text{ Molar mass of methane}} = \frac{23g}{16.04g/mole} = 1.434 moles

From the above chemical reaction, we conclude that

1 mole of methane react with the 2 moles of oxygen

and 1.434 moles of methane react to give \frac{2moles\times 1.434moles}{1moles} moles of oxygen

The Moles of oxygen = 2.868 moles

Now we conclude that the moles of oxygen are more than the moles of methane.

Therefore, the excess reactant in the combustion of methane in open atmosphere is O_{2} molecule.

The radius of an atom is closest in size to a
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The size of an isolated atom can't be measured because we can't determine the location of the electrons that surround the nucleus. We can estimate the size of an atom, however, by assuming that the radius of an atom is half the distance between adjacent atoms in a solid. This technique is best suited to elements that are metals, which form solids composed of extended planes of atoms of that element. The results of these measurements are therefore often known as metallic radii.

How many ants would 6 giant anteaters need to eat in one year to get the matter and energy they need? Write a simple formula to
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

180,000 ants

Explanation:

For this problem we can create the following simple formula to solve this problem...

f(x) = 6x

where the variable x represents the number of ants that a single Anteater needs to eat per day. After a quick online search we can see that a single Anteater eats roughly 30,000 ants per day. If we use this value and plug it into the simple formula we can get the total number of ants 6 anteaters need to eat to survive.

f(x) = 6 * 30,000

f(x) = 180,000
