LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

If it loses 2 electrons, the net charge on the atom will be 2+

If the atom instead gains 4 electrons, the net charge will be 4-

Explanation:

It is based on adding and subtracting charges. Protons are +1 and electrons are -1

If the atom has 9 protons and 9 electrons, the net charge is +9 + (-9) = 0. The +9 is the 9 protons and the -9 is from the 9 electrons.

If two electrons are taken away, there would be 9-2 or 7 electrons with 9 protons. The net charge would then be +9 + (-7) = +2. +9 comes from the 9 electrons and -7 is from the 7 electrons.

So, if two electrons are taken away, the net charge is +2.

Similarly, if the atom gains 4 electrons, there will be 9+4 or 12 electrons and 9 protons. The net charge would then be +9 + (-12) = -4. +9 comes from the 9 protons and -12 comes from the 12 electrons.

So, if 4 electrons are added, the net charge is -4.

How would the volume of helium in a balloon be affected if the balloon was placed in a room where air temperature is lower?
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The volume will decrease.

Explanation:

According to Charles' Law, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

V = kT

Thus, if T decreases, V decreases.

Taya2010 [7]
The  volume  that    0.878  mol  occupy  at   the  same   temperature  and  pressure   is  calculated  as follows


if   0.274  mol  occupy  6.62 L  what  about  0.878  mol

by   cross   multiplication

=0.878 x6.62/0.274=21.21 L
