Answer:

Caesium atoms will form positively charged ions.

Explanation:

Due to them having one electron in their outer orbit, it is very likely that they will give that electron away to form an octet and become stable. Hence, since they lose an electron, they lose a negative charge, and in comparison to their former non-ion self, they have gained a positive charge.

Hence, they will form positively charged ions.

Hope this helped!

What is the molarity (M) of chloride ions in a solution prepared by mixing 155 ml of 0.276 M calcium chloride with 384 ml of 0.4
sesenic [268]

Answer: The concentration of Cl^- ions in the resulting solution is 1.16 M.

Explanation:

To calculate the molarity of the solution after mixing 2 solutions, we use the equation:

M=\frac{n_1M_1V_1+n_2M_2V_2}{V_1+V_2}

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of the CaCl_2

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of the AlCl_3

We are given:

n_1=2\\M_1=0.276M\\V_1=155mL\\n_2=3\\M_2=0.471M\\V_2=384mL  

Putting all the values in above equation, we get

M=\frac{(2\times 0.276\times 155)+(3\times 0.471\times 384)}{155+384}\\\\M=1.16M

The concentration of Cl^- ions in the resulting solution will be same as the molarity of solution which is 1.16 M.

Hence, the concentration of Cl^- ions in the resulting solution is 1.16 M.

Who started sneakers
hodyreva [135]
In late 18th century, people wore rubber soled shoes called plimsolls, but they weren't the best sneakers. Around 1892, a US company named Keds started sneakers with a canvas top and rubber soles. By 1917, these were mass produced.

2. What evidence is there that mass extinction events occurred?
Natalija [7]

Answer: Although the best-known cause of a mass extinction is the asteroid impact that killed off the non-avian dinosaurs, in fact, volcanic activity seems to have wreaked much more havoc on Earth's biota. Volcanic activity is implicated in at least four mass extinctions, while an asteroid is a suspect in just one. Examples, of mass extinctions are Permian extinction of marine species, and Cretaceous extinction of various species, including dinosaurs.

Pavel [41]

Answer:

<em>Protons: </em>

  • Positively charged particle
  • The number of these is the atomic number
  • All atoms of a given element have the same number of these

<em>Neutrons:  </em>

  • Neutral particles  
  • Isotopes of a given element differ in the number of these
  • The mass number is the number of these added to the number of protons

Explanation:

Protons (<em>positively charged</em>), neutrons (<em>neutral</em>) and electrons (negatively charged) are smaller than an atom and they are the main subatomic particles.  The nucleus of an atom is composed of protons and neutrons, and the electrons are in the periphery at unknown pathways.

The <em>Atomic number</em> (Z) indicates the number of protons (P^{+}) in the nucleus. Every atom of an element have the <em>same atomic number</em>, thus the <em>same number of protons</em>.

The <em>mass number </em>(A) is the sum of the <em>number of protons</em>  (P^{+}) <em>and neutrons</em> (N) that are present in the nucleus: <em>A= Z + N</em>

<em>Isotopes</em> are atoms of the <em>same element </em>which nucleus have the <em>same atomic number</em> (Z), and <em>different mass number (A)</em>, it means the <em>same number of protons</em> (P^{+}) and a <em>different number of neutrons</em> (N). For example, the oxygen in its natural state is a mixture of isotopes:

99.8% atoms with A= 16, Z=8, and N=8

0.037% atoms with A=17, Z=8, and N=9

0.204% atoms with A=18, Z=8, and N=10
