Answer:
option C. Addition of protons to the atomic nucleus.
Explanation:
Elements are fundamentally made up of atoms. Atoms in turn has three sub particles.
These particles are; neutrons, electrons and protons.
The sub particles responsible for the mass of an atoms is basically the protons and neutrons. Going through the options;
The correct option is option C. Addition of protons to the atomic nucleus.
Answer:
a. x = + 2
b. x = + 3
c. x = + 2
d. x = + 3
Explanation:
The oxidation number is a formal charge assigned to an atom present in a molecule or formula unit or ion based on some arbitrary rules.
a.
<u>Hg</u>O
The oxidation number of Hg in HgO is:
x + (-2) = 0
x = +2
b.
<u>Al₄</u>C₃
The oxidation number of Al in Al<u>₄</u>C₃ is:
4x +(3 × -4) = 0
4x - 12 = 0
4x = +12
x = 12/4
x = +3
c. CrF₂
x + ( 2 × - 1) = 0
x - 2 = 0
x = + 2
d. Fe₂S₃
2x + ( 3 × - 2) = 0
2x + (-6) = 0
2x = 6
x = 6/2
x = +3
Answer: Solids
Explanation:
Solids have a definite volume and structure. These are comprised of atoms, ions, and molecules closely packed together giving a confined structure to the solids. The particles are bound with strong force of attraction. The particles in the solid are arranged in an repeated, orderly, and three dimensional pattern. Depending upon the substance of the solid the particles within the solid can be ions, atoms, and can be molecules.
Answer:
A physical property that depends on the sample size
Explanation:
The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
In the 1800s, a popular belief known as vitalism stated that life processes could not be explained by the laws of physics and chemistry,and were instead dictated by an independent life force. Which discovery most likely caused scientists to revise this hypothesis regarding the origin of life on Earth?
a. that inorganic compounds existed within live organisms
b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory
c. that RNA could serve as a template to synthesize DNA
d. that self-replicating molecules existed inside cells
Answer:
b. that organic compounds could be synthesized in a laboratory
Explanation:
Vitalism is the belief that "living organisms are fundamentally different from non-living entities because they contain some non-physical element or are governed by different principles than are inanimate things"(wikipedia).
This theory held that the molecules involved in life processes could not be synthesized in the laboratory.
All these were upturned after Fredrich Whöler's synthesis of urea in 1828. He was able to show that molecules involved in life process can also be synthesized in the laboratory. This gave rise to modern synthetic organic chemistry.
