Why can’t an atom lose or gain a proton

Chemistry

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.

H2, N2, O2 molecules. . . A)must be polar. must be nonpolar. . B)can be polar or nonpolar depending on geometric . C)configurati
LenKa [72]

Answer: The correct option is A.

Explanation: The given molecules are the molecules of same element.

These molecules are considered as diatomic species.

Polar molecules are the molecules in which some polarity is present in the bond. These molecules are formed when there is some difference in the electronegativities of the elements. Example: HCl

Non-polar molecules are the molecules where no polarity is present in the bond. These molecules are formed when there is no difference in the electronegativities of the elements. Example: H_2, O_2

The given molecules are non-polar in nature.

Hence, these molecules must be non-polar. So, the correct option is A.

Which action would shift this reaction away from solid calcium fluoride and toward the dissolved ions? which action would shift
ANTONII [103]
Hello!

The chemical reaction for the dissolving of calcium fluoride is the following:

CaF₂(s) ⇄ Ca⁺²(aq) + 2F⁻(aq)

In this reaction, and according to Le Chatelier's principle, the action that would shift this reaction away from solid calcium fluoride and towards the dissolved ions is the removing of fluoride ions.

Le Chatelier's principle
states that in an equilibrium reaction, the system would shift in the opposite direction of the changes. If we remove fluoride ions from the system, it will shift towards the formation of more fluoride ions by dissolving more Calcium Fluoride to achieve equilibrium again.

Have a nice day!

The second-order rate constants for the reaction of oxygen atoms witharomatic hydrocarbons have been measured (R. Atkinson and J
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

A = 1,13x10¹⁰

Ea = 16,7 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Using Arrhenius law:

ln k = -Ea/R × 1/T + ln(A)

You can graph ln rate constant in x vs 1/T in y to obtain slope: -Ea/R and intercept is ln(A).

Using the values you will obtain:

y = -2006,9 x +23,147

As R = 8,314472x10⁻³ kJ/molK:

-Ea/8,314472x10⁻³ kJ/molK = -2006,9 K⁻¹

<em>Ea = 16,7 kJ/mol</em>

Pre-exponential factor is:

ln A = 23,147

A = e^23,147

<em>A = 1,13x10¹⁰</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

Which of the following are diatomic elements? CHECK ALL THAT APPLY!
Komok [63]

Answer: This is a list of the seven diatomic elements. The seven diatomic elements are:

   Hydrogen (H2)

   Nitrogen (N2)

   Oxygen (O2)

   Fluorine (F2)

   Chlorine (Cl2)

   Iodine (I2)

   Bromine (Br2)

All of these elements are nonmetals, since the halogens are a special type of nonmetallic element. Bromine is a liquid at room temperature, while the other elements all gases under ordinary conditions. As the temperature is lowered or pressure is increased, the other elements become diatomic liquids.

Astatine (atomic number 85, symbol At) and tennessine (atomic number 117, symbol Ts) are also in the halogen group and may form diatomic molecules. However, some scientists predict tennessine may behave more like a noble gas.

While only these seven elements routinely form diatomic molecules, other elements can form them. However, diatomic molecules formed by other elements are not very stable, so their bonds are easily broken.

How to Remember the Diatomic Elements

The elements ending with "-gen" including halogens form diatomic molecules. An easy-to-remember mnemonic for the diatomic elements is: Have No Fear Of Ice Cold Beer

Explanation:

SORRY if you don't understand!
