Atoms are made of 3 types of subatomic particles ; protons, neutrons and electrons

protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus and electrons are found in energy shells around the nucleus. Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged and neutrons are neutral. elements in their ground state are neutral with equal amounts of protons and electrons.

Atomic number is the number of protons. atomic number is characteristic for the element.

atomic number of Be is 4 therefore Be has 4 protons

answer is B. 4

Beryllium has an atomic number of four so has four protons in its nucleus. The atomic number shows how many protons are in the nucleus so once this number is known then the answer can be ascertained and recorded as such.

_____ bonds are formed when the electronegativity difference is 0.4 > 2.0. Give two examples:
34kurt

<u>Ionic Bond</u> is formed when the electronegativity difference is 0.4 > 2.0. Electronegativity is a term that can be defined as a tendency of an atom to attract electron towards its own self.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a term that can be defined as a tendency of an atom to attract electron towards its own self.

An  electronegativity of an atom is affected by

  • The atomic number of the atom
  • Secondly by the distance at which the valence electron are residing from the nucleus

1. In case the  electronegativity difference (which is denoted by  ΔEN) is less than 0.5  then the bond formed is known as N<u>onpolar covalent. </u>

2. In case  the ΔEN is in between 0.5 and 1.6, the bond formed is referred to as the<u> Polar covalent </u>

3. In case  the ΔEN is more /greater  than 2.0, then the bond formed is referred to as<u> Ionic Bond</u>

<u>2 Examples of Ionic bonds</u>

  • The formation of sodium fluoride, NaF, from a sodium atom and a fluorine atom is an example of Ionic bond formation.
  • Another example is the formation of NaCl from  sodium (Na),which is  a metal, and chloride (Cl), which is a  nonmetal

rjkz [21]
The main use of litmus is to test whether a solution is acidic or basic. Blue litmus paper turns red under acidic conditions and red litmus paper turns blue under basic or alkaline conditions, with the color change occurring over the pH range 4.5–8.3 at 25 °C (77 °F).

A gas mixture contains oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. It has a pressure of 250 mmHg. If the pressure of oxygen is 50 mmHg
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

P_{CO_2}=25mmHg

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the Dalton's law, which explains that the total pressure of a gaseous system equals the sum of the partial pressures of the gases composing, for the gaseous mixture composed by oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide it would be possible to write:

P_{tot}=P_{N_2}+P_{O_2}+P_{CO_2}

Now, given the pressure of the system and those of oxygen and nitrogen, we calculate that of carbon dioxide as shown below:

P_{CO_2}=P_{tot}-P_{N_2}-P_{O_2}\\\\P_{CO_2}=250mmHg-50mmHg-175mmHg\\\\P_{CO_2}=25mmHg

Best regards!

puteri [66]

Answer:

  1. Elimination
  2. Elimination
  3. Zaitsev
  4. Zaitsev
  5. Carbocation

Explanation:

  • The mechanism is generally accepted to always operate via an ELIMINATION step-wise process.
  • The ELIMINATION mechanism process will always produce (after dehydration) a ZAITSEV style alkene as major product
  • The driving force for the production of this ZAITSEV style alkene product is generally going to be determined by stability of the CARBOCATION

Elimination mechanism is the removal of two substituents  from a molecule in either a one- or two-step mechanism

Carbocation is a molecule containing a positive charged carbon atom and three bonds

Given the following equation, what is the correct form of the conversion factor needed to convert the number of moles of O₂ to t
djverab [1.8K]

Answer : The correct option is (c) \frac{2\text{ mole of }Fe_2O_3}{3\text{ mole of }O_2}

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

4Fe(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3(s)

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that

As, 3 moles of O_2 react to give 2 mole of Fe_2O_3

So, 1 mole of O_2 react to give \frac{2\text{ mole of }Fe_2O_3}{3\text{ mole of }O_2} moles of Fe_2O_3

Thus, the conversion factor needed to convert the number of moles of O_2 to the number of moles of Fe_2O_3 produced is \frac{2\text{ mole of }Fe_2O_3}{3\text{ mole of }O_2}

Hence, the correct option is (c) \frac{2\text{ mole of }Fe_2O_3}{3\text{ mole of }O_2}
