Answer: The correct answer is Option A.

Explanation:

There are 3 subatomic particles present in an atom. They are: protons, electrons and neutrons.

Protons carry positive charge, electrons carry negative charge and neutrons does not carry any charge.

Any neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons. An ion is formed when atom looses or gain electron.

If an atom gains electrons, it will have more number of electrons than protons. Thus, it will carry negative charge and form an anion.
If an atom looses electrons, it will have less number of electrons than protons. Thus, it will carry positive charge and forms a cation.

Thus, an ionized atom will always have unequal number of protons and electrons.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.

As atoms get smaller,valance electrons are getting closer or farther away from the nucleous.The force of attraction is stronger

LiRa [457]

Explanation:

Electrons are closer to the nucleus are in filled orbitals and are called core electrons. More energy which in nucleus called nuclear strOng energy to remove electron thars why its also a way harder too..

What mass of CaSO3 must have been present initially to produce 14.5 L of SO2 gas at a temperature of 12.5°C and a pressure of 1.

german

When the reaction equation is:

CaSO3(s) → CaO(s) + SO2(g)

we can see that the molar ratio between CaSO3 & SO2 is 1:1 so, we need to find first the moles SO2.

to get the moles of SO2 we are going to use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

when P is the pressure = 1.1 atm

and V is the volume = 14.5 L

n is the moles' number (which we need to calculate)

R ideal gas constant = 0.0821

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 12.5 + 273 = 285.5 K

so, by substitution:

1.1 * 14.5 L = n * 0.0821 * 285.5

∴ n = 1.1 * 14.5 / (0.0821*285.5)

= 0.68 moles SO2

∴ moles CaSO3 = 0.68 moles

so we can easily get the mass of CaSO3:

when mass = moles * molar mass

and we know that the molar mass of CaSO3= 40 + 32 + 16 * 3 = 120 g/mol

∴ mass = 0.68 moles* 120 g/mol = 81.6 g
