Answer:

Explanation:

A. The charge on an element is determined by the differences between the number of protons and electrons in an atom.

An atom will have no charges if the number of protons and electrons are the same.

When an atom loses or gains electrons, the number of electrons will either decrease or increase
if the number of electrons is more than the number of protons, the excess electrons is the charge on the atom. And this makes the atom become a negatively charged ion.
if the number of electrons is lesser than the number of protons, the deficient electrons makes the atom a positively charged ion. The number of electrons by which the atom is deficient makes the atom a positively charged ion.

Charge = number of protons - number of electrons

B. Electrons form the charges they do because with the charge, they become stable like the noble gases.

The desire of every atom is to have stable electronic configuration like those of the noble gases.

A potassium atom with a configuration 2 8 8 1 will prefer to lose an electron to become an Argon atom making the ion stable.

Given the Henry’s law constant for O2(4.34*109Pa) at 25° C, calculate the molar concentration of oxygen in air-saturated and O2s

Flauer [41]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

The Henry's law constant for oxygen dissolved in water is 4.34 × 10⁹ g/L.Pa at 25⁰C.If the partial pressure of oxygen in air is 0.2 atm, under atmospheric conditions, calculate the molar concentration of oxygen in air-saturated and oxygen saturated water.

Answer : The molar concentration of oxygen is, $2.67\times 10^2mol/L$

Explanation :

As we know that,

$C_{O_2}=k_H\times p_{O_2}$

where,

$C_{O_2}$ = molar solubility of $O_2$ = ?

$p_{O_2}$ = partial pressure of $O_2$ = 0.2 atm = 1.97×10⁻⁶ Pa

$k_H$ = Henry's law constant = 4.34 × 10⁹ g/L.Pa

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$C_{O_2}=(4.34\times 10^9g/L.Pa)\times (1.97\times 10^{-6}Pa)$

$C_{O_2}=8.55\times 10^3g/L$

Now we have to molar concentration of oxygen.

Molar concentration of oxygen = $\frac{8.55\times 10^3g/L}{32g/mol}=2.67\times 10^2mol/L$

Therefore, the molar concentration of oxygen is, $2.67\times 10^2mol/L$

¿Cuál es la diferencia entre electrones internos y electrones externos? *

Fudgin [204]

Answer & Explanation:

Los electrones externos se encuentran más lejos del núcleo. El número de electrones en la capa más externa (electrones de valencia) de un átomo en particular determina su reactividad (tendencia) a formar enlaces químicos con otros átomos.

Los electrones internos son los más cercanos al núcleo. Protegen los electrones de valencia del núcleo, reduciendo la carga nuclear efectiva.
