Answer: Your teacher is correct, although yes not every element has a charge of 0.

Explanation:

Atoms are electrically neutral because they contain equal quantities of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. Electrons and protons have equal but opposite charges, so the result is no net charge.

group of atoms that gains or loses electrons is called _______. A. a polar ion B. a non-polar ion C. a polyatomic ion D. a commo
raketka [301]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An ion is defined as a specie which is formed when a neutral atoms tends to gain or lose an electron.

When a neutral atom gain an electron then it forms a negative ion whereas when a neutral atom tends to lose an electron then it forms a positive ion.

For example, a neutral fluorine atom on gaining an electron will form F^{-} ion. And, a sodium atom on losing an electron forms Na^{+} ion.

When a group of atoms form ions then it tends to form polyatomic ions.

Thus, we can conclude that group of atoms that gains or loses electrons is called a polyatomic ion.

How does the value of kc in n2o4(g)⇋2no2(g) kc=[no2]2[n2o4] depend on the starting concentrations of no2 and n2o4?
Vlad [161]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The value of Kc does not depend on starting concentrations.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>At constant temperature, changing the equilibrium concentration does not affect the equilibrium constant, because the rate constants are not affected by the concentration changes. </u></em>
  • When the concentration of one of the participants is changed, the concentration of the others vary in such a way as to maintain a constant value for the equilibrium constant.
