Number of neutrons = 8

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

7 protons, 7 electrons, and a mass number of 15.

Required

Number of neutrons

Solution

Within the atom there are subparticles, namely protons, neutrons and electrons

Protons and neutrons are present in the atomic nucleus, while electrons surround the atomic nucleus in the atomic shell

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number= number of protons + number of neutrons

15 = 7 + number of neutrons

number of neutrons = 8

List the number of each type of atom on the left side of the equation 2C6H14(l)+19O2(g)→12CO2(g)+14H2O(g) Enter your answers sep
murzikaleks [220]

<u>Answer:</u> The number of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms on the left side of the reaction are 12, 28 and 38 respectively

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a chemical equation, the chemical species are termed as reactants or products.

Reactants are defined as the species which react in the reaction and are written on the left side of the reaction arrow.

Products are defined as the species which are produced in the reaction and are written on the right side of the reaction arrow.

For the given chemical equation:

2C_6H_{14}(l)+19O_2(g)\rightarrow 12CO_2(g)+14H_2O(g)

On the reactant side:

Number of carbon atoms = (6 × 2) = 12

Number of hydrogen atoms = (14 × 2) = 28

Number of oxygen atoms = (2 × 19) = 38

Hence, the number of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms on the left side of the reaction are 12, 28 and 38 respectively

1st Define Covalent bond and it's type
irakobra [83]

Answer:

  1. COVELENT BOND:-The chemical bond formed by the sharing of an electron pair between two atoms so that both the atoms get their octet complete is called covalent bond
  • SINGLE COVELENT BOND:-it is formed by sharing of one pair of electron between two atoms
  • DOUBLE COVELENT BOND:-it is formed by sharing of two pair of electron between two atoms
  • TRIPLE COVELENT BOND:- it us formed by sharing of three pair of electron beyween two atoms

2)Electron dot structures of carbon dioxide:-Oxygen atom contains 6 valence electrons which form 2 lone pairs. Since it is bonded to only one carbon atom, it must form a double bond. Carbon atom contains four valence electrons, resulting in zero lone pairs. Therefore, it is doubly bonded to each oxygen atom.

3))Sulfur has an atomic number is 16 with the

symbol as 'S'

  • The electronic configuration of sulfur is said to be 2,8,6
  • The valence electrons present in sulfur is 6.
  • Sulfur forms an octet structure by connecting 8 sulfur atoms with each other by the formation of single covalent bonds.
  • The sulfur molecule's chemical formula is S8.
  • Sulfur is usually used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid.

Key terms: Reset Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each are ____________ . The chemical and physical properties of two
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Enantiomers/ Isomers/ Stereoisomers/ Meso compounds/ Constitutional isomers/ Diastereomers.

Explanation:

Isomers are molecules that have the same chemical formula but have different conformation, or in its connections, or the orientation in space. Isomers have different chemical and physical properties (second blank).

The isomers that only differ by the orientation of their atoms in space are called stereoisomers (third blank).

The stereoisomers that have a chiral carbon and do not mirror images of each are called enantiomers (first blank). They can deviate the polarized light.

When a compound has two or more chiral carbons but they compensate for the deviation of the light, and the compound is optically inactive, it's called a meso compound (fourth blank).

When the isomers differ in the way the atoms are connected it's called a constitutional isomer (fifth blank).

When the molecule has more than one chiral carbon, it will have pairs of enantiomers. The isomers that aren't of the same pair are nonsuperimposable mirror images of each other and are called diastereomers (last blank).

Why is water able to easily dissolve ionic compounds
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Water is a covalently bonded molecule. H2O-> Oxygen and hydrogen are both nonmetals. Ionic compounds are made up of a nometal and metal which causes it to have electrical components. A covalent bond is stronger than an ionic bond, which allows water to break down ionic salts.
