<h2>
Answer:</h2>
Nucleus.
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
- In an atom the nucleus has an overall positive charge as it contains the protons.
- Every atom has no overall charge (neutral). While atoms do contain charged particles, they have the same number of positive protons as negative electrons( for example a sodium atom has 11 electrons which are of negative charge and 11 protons which are of positive charge).
- These opposite charges cancel each other out making the atom neutral.
Result: Nucleus is the overall positive charge of an atom.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Atomic radius can be defined as a measure of the size (distance) of the atom of a chemical element such as hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen etc, typically from the nucleus to the valence electrons. The atomic radius of a chemical element decreases across the periodic table, typically from alkali metals (group one elements such as hydrogen, lithium and sodium) to noble gases (group eight elements such as argon, helium and neon). Also, the atomic radius of a chemical element increases down each group of the periodic table, typically from top to bottom (column).
<em>Hence, the atomic radius of phosphorus is smaller than the atomic radius of magnesium. Basically, the atomic radius of phosphorus is 98 pm while the atomic radius of magnesium is 145 pm.</em>
A compound is a substance that consists of 2 or more elements chemically combined in a fixed proportion.
Compounds can be broken down ijt0 simple substances by chemical means but, elements cannot.
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
- The equation for the reaction shown represents the combustion of ethane.
C₂H₆ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
- To balance the equation we put the coefficients, 2, 7, 4, and 6 on the reactants and products.
2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O
- Balancing chemical equations makes the number of atoms of each element equal on both side of the equation.
- It ensures that chemical equations obey the law of conservation of mass in chemical reactions.
