<span>The representative particle for silicon is atom of silicon.
</span>Representative particles can be atoms, molecules, formula units or ions. Representative particles depend on the nature of the substance. Silicon is chemical element made of atoms.
For sodium chloride (NaCl) for example, representative particles are ions.
Answer:
Explanation:
V1/T1 =V2/T2 at constnant pressure
Answer:
Explanation:
The gas ideal law is
PV= nRT (equation 1)
Where:
P = pressure
R = gas constant
T = temperature
n= moles of substance
V = volume
Working with equation 1 we can get

The number of moles is mass (m) / molecular weight (mw). Replacing this value in the equation we get.
or
(equation 2)
The cylindrical container has a constant pressure p
The volume is the volume of a cylinder this is

Where:
r = radius
h = height
(pi) = number pi (3.1415)
This cylinder has a radius, r and height, h so the volume is 
Since the temperatures has linear distribution, we can say that the temperature in the cylinder is the average between the temperature in the top and in the bottom of the cylinder. This is:
Replacing these values in the equation 2 we get:
(equation 2)
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>An atom accepts electrons and becomes an anion.</em>
<em></em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Atomic number = number of electrons = number of protons.
Atomic number of sodium is 11
So the atom contains 11 protons and 11 electrons
To find the number of neutrons we make use of the formula
Mass number - atomic number = number of neutrons
From the periodic table, we know mass number of sodium is 23
So number of neutron = 23 - 11 = 12.
When a sodium atom loses an electron it will have 11 positive protons and 10 negative electrons. Since 1 positive charge is more, Na becomes
.
Positively charged ion is called as cation
Chlorine's atomic number is 17 so it has 17 protons and 17 electrons.
When it gains an electrons, it will have 17 positive protons and 18 negative electrons. Since 1 negative charge is more, Cl becomes
.
Negatively charged ion is called as anion.
