Answer:
Explanation:
A. The charge on an element is determined by the differences between the number of protons and electrons in an atom.
An atom will have no charges if the number of protons and electrons are the same.
- When an atom loses or gains electrons, the number of electrons will either decrease or increase
- if the number of electrons is more than the number of protons, the excess electrons is the charge on the atom. And this makes the atom become a negatively charged ion.
- if the number of electrons is lesser than the number of protons, the deficient electrons makes the atom a positively charged ion. The number of electrons by which the atom is deficient makes the atom a positively charged ion.
Charge = number of protons - number of electrons
B. Electrons form the charges they do because with the charge, they become stable like the noble gases.
The desire of every atom is to have stable electronic configuration like those of the noble gases.
A potassium atom with a configuration 2 8 8 1 will prefer to lose an electron to become an Argon atom making the ion stable.
The two compounds shown indeed have tha same molecular formula, C5 H11 NO2. One of the molecules has a group NH2 and a group COOH, the other molecule has a NOO group, that makes that the two isomers have a completely different structure, with the atoms arranged in a completely different order. <span>This kind of isomers fits in the definition of structural isomers, so the answer is structural isomers.</span>
I am pretty sure that <span>If I were asked to compare matter in solid, liquid, and gaseous states, the statement which would best defined a gas is </span>highest energy, highest molecular motion, and least dense packaging of molecules. I choose this one because it's not sensible to <span>heat CO2 (in case of safety) and in the last option the amount of energy is not satisfying.
Hope it helps!</span>
