Why can’t an atom lose or gain a proton

Chemistry
2 answers:
Veronika [31]3 years ago

Explanation:

Atoms never gain protons; they become positively charge only by losing electrons. A positive ion is called a cation (pronounced: CAT-eye-on). You may have notice that the number of neutrons in each of these ions was not specified.

B) Ethane has the formula C2H6. In terms of electronic structure,
k0ka [10]

Answer:

There is one single covalent bond between two carbon atoms.

Explanation:

We know that sharing of electrons form covalent bonds.

If we look upon K,L,M ,N shells of the carbon and hydrogen atoms.

We found that Hydrogen is having only  1 electron in K shell.

And Carbon on the other hand is having 2 electrons in K shell and 4 electrons in L shell.

So carbon have  4 valence electrons,and it can share 4 bonds with any relevant atom to complete its octet.

And Hydrogen requires  1 electron to complete its doublet.

Alkane general formula C_{n}H_{2n+2}

For ethane n=2

C_{2}H_{4+2} = C_{2}H_{6}

1 Carbon atom is shared by  3 Hydrogen.

The remaining one electron (4-3)=1 of carbon will be shared with another carbon atom.

An image of the sharing of electrons attached below,

Hence we have only  1 covalent bond between the two.

Why is it important for a scientist studying greenhouse effect to know about mater,forces and energy
vova2212 [387]
<span>In the 19th century, scientists realized that gases in the atmosphere cause a "greenhouse effect" which affects the planet's temperature. These scientists were interested chiefly in the possibility that a lower level of carbon dioxide gas might explain the ice ages of the distant past. At the turn of the century, Svante Arrhenius calculated that emissions from human industry might someday bring a global warming. Other scientists dismissed his idea as faulty. In 1938, G.S. Callendar argued that the level of carbon dioxide was climbing and raising global temperature, but most scientists found his arguments implausible. It was almost by chance that a few researchers in the 1950s discovered that global warming truly was possible. In the early 1960s, C.D. Keeling measured the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere: it was rising fast. Researchers began to take an interest, struggling to understand how the level of carbon dioxide had changed in the past, and how the level was influenced by chemical and biological forces. They found that the gas plays a crucial role in climate change, so that the rising level could gravely affect our future. (This essay covers only developments relating directly to carbon dioxide, with a separate essay for Other Greenhouse Gases. Theories are discussed in the essay on Simple Models of Climate.)</span>

Study the Lewis dot diagram for nitrogen. Explain what is correct and what is incorrect about the diagram. Use details to suppor
Verdich [7]

Answer:

The Lewis dot diagram is supposed to have dots on each side. What's incorrect is that there isn't a dot on the bottom, only the left and right side and the top. What's correct about this is that there are 5 outer valence electrons, and they correctly put 5 dots, even though they're in the wrong place.
