In a neutral atom, the number of protons is always equal to what other part of the atom?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Licemer1 [7]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

b. The number of electrons

Explanation:

A "neutral atom" has a <u>neutral charge</u>. This means that <em>its charge is equal to </em><em>zero. </em>In order for the charges to cancel out each other, the atom's <em>positive charge should be equal to the negative charge. </em>These being said, the number of electrons<em> (negatively-charged)</em> is then equal to the number of protons <em>(positively-charged). </em>Those atoms which are not neutral are called <em>"ions."</em> This means that they either have more or less electrons than the protons.

Explain how the effects of nuclear charge and the increasing number of core electrons in an atom oppose each other.
Kipish [7]
The nulear charge is the number of protons.

As the number of protons increases, the nuclear charge grows ant thhe pulling electrostatic force between them and electrons also grows, given that the electrostatic force is proportional to the magnitude of the charges.

As the number of electrons grows, they occupy outer shelss (farther from the nucleus). And the outer electrons will feel not only the atraction of the protons from the nucleus, but the repulsion of the inner electrons.

Then, we see that the increase of nuclear charge is opposed by the increase of core electrons, and the outer (valence) electrons are not so tied to the nucleus as the core electrons are.

This is called shielding effect. A way to quantify the shielding effect is through the effective nuclear charge which is the number of protons (Z) less the number of core electrons.

The more the number of core shells the greater the shielding effect experience by electros in the outermost shells.

The shielding effect, explains why the valence eletrons are more easily removed from the atom than core electrons, and also explains some  trends of the periodic table: variationof the size of the atoms in a row, the greater the shielding efect, the less the atraction force felt by the outermos electron, the farther they are and the larger the atom.

Which member of the alkali metals has the highest
natulia [17]

Answer:

E)Li

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract a pair of bonding electrons. In the periodic table, electronegativity increases across the period and decrease down the group.

This means the element at the top of the group would have the highest electronegativity.

The correct option is;

E)Li

How many moles are there in 24.00 g of NaCl
Elis [28]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 0.41 moles

Explanation:

Data

moles of NaCl = ?

mass of NaCl = 24 g

Process

To solve this problem just calculate the molar mass of NaCl, and remember that the molar mass of any substance equals to 1 mol.

1.- Calculate the molar mass

NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g

2.- Use proportions and cross multiplication

               58.5 g of NaCl ------------------- 1 mol

               24.0 g               ------------------- x

                     x = (24 x 1) / 58.5

                     x = 0.41 moles

What are the first two quantum numbers for the electrons located in subshell 4d?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

n = 4, l = 2

Explanation:

The number 4 in 4d is the principal quantum number (n).

The letter d in 4d tells us that we have a d orbital, as determined by the <em>secondary quantum number (l</em>).

The quantum number l tells us the shape of the orbital.

l = 0     s orbital

l = 1      p orbital

l = 2     d orbital
