The atomic number or proton number (symbol Z) of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of every atom of that element. The atomic number uniquely identifies a chemical element. It is identical to the charge number of the nucleus. In an uncharged atom, the atomic number is also equal to the number of electrons.

Match the scientist to his contribution to the atomic theory.
Masja [62]

Explanation:

Rutherford → Nucleus  

Rutherford in his model of an atom proposed that in an atom positive charge is concentrated in the center of an atom with he named nucleus and along with that also told that whole of an atom is also concentrated in the nucleus of an atom.

Bohr → Electron energy levels  

Bohr in his structure of atom explained that electrons revolve around the nucleus in fixed orbit or shell or energy levels.These energy levels are stable and are stationary along with different energy value.

Schrodinger → Electron cloud and orbitals

Schrodinger proposed the mechanic model of atom in which he defined the location of electrons inside an atom by electron cloud in 3-d space.To define their location he introduced concept of quantum number.

What mass of ch4 is consumed when 587. 9 kj of energy is evolved from the combustion of a mixture of ch4(g) and o2(g)? show the
Juliette [100K]

The mass of CH₄ that is consumed is 10.598 g.

<h3>What is enthalpy?</h3>

The enthalpy of a system is defined as the sum of the internal energy of a system and the energy that is produced due to its pressure and volume.

It is given by

H = U+PV

The following reaction takes place during the combustion of CH₄

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

Energy evolved during the combustion, E = 587.9 kJ

Enthalpy of combustion of methane, ∆H = 890.3 kJ

No of moles of CH_4 =\frac{energy evolved}{enthalpy of combustion}

= 587.9 /890

Mass of CH₄  that is consumed = no of moles × molar mass of CH₄

  = 587.9 /890 × 16

   = 10.598 g

The mass of CH₄  which is consumed is 10.598 g

Which of the following statements, if true, would support the claim that the NO3− ion, represented above, has three resonance st
tester [92]

Answer:

One of the bonds in nitrate is shorter than the other two.

Explanation:

We would firstly need to draw the Lewis structure for nitrate anion. To do this, let's follow the standard steps:

  • calculate the total number of valence electrons: five from nitrogen, each oxygen contributes 6, so a total of 18 from oxygen atoms, as well as one from the negative charge, we have a total of 24 valence electrons;
  • assign the central atom, usually this is the atom which is single; in this case, we have nitrogen as our central atom;
  • assign single bonds to all the terminal atoms (oxygen atoms);
  • assign octets to the terminal atoms and calculate the number of electrons assigned;
  • the number of electrons assigned is 24, so no lone pairs are present on nitrogen;
  • calculate the formal charges: each oxygen has a formal charge of -1 (formal charge is calculated subtracting the sum of lone pair electrons and bonds from the number of valence electrons of that atom); nitrogen has a formal charge of +2;
  • nitrogen doesn't have an octet as well, so we'll both minimize its formal charge and make it obtain an octet if we make one double bond N=O.

Therefore, we may have 3 resonance structures, as this double bond might be formed with any of the 3 oxygen atoms.

By definition, double bonds are shorter than single ones, so one of the bonds is shorter than the other two.

The chemical equation given below represents the chemical reaction between lithium (Li) and sulfur (S). In the equation, why is
algol [13]

Answer:

A. to show the number of lithium atoms involved in the reaction

Explanation:

The reaction between lithium and sulfur produces lithium sulfide where two lithium and one sulfur atoms react.

Balanced equation: 2 Li + S = Li2S

The 2 present before Li on the reactant's side shows how many lithium atoms are supposed to be present per every 1 sulfur atom for this reaction to be balanced and true.

That is it! :)
