Oxygen has 8 positively charged protons what is the number of negatively charged electrons in an atom of oxygen?

Chemistry

romanna [79]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

8 electrons (e-)

Explanation:

In the atom of every elements, there are three sub-atomic particles namely: protons, electrons, and neutrons. The protons are the positively charged particles, the electrons are negatively charged while the neutrons are neutrally charged.

In an uncharged or neutral atom i.e. charge 0, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons because they cancel each other out. When a difference occurs in the number of these particles, the atom becomes charged i.e. an ion. According to this question, oxygen atom (O) contains 8 positively charged protons, this means that it also contains 8 negatively charged electrons in its atom.

How are some mutations similar? Provide examples.
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Mutations can be caused by high-energy sources such as radiation or by chemicals in the environment. They can also appear spontaneously during the replication of DNA. Mutations generally fall into two types: point mutations and chromosomal aberrations. In point mutations, one base pair is changed. A single mutation can have a large effect, but in many cases, evolutionary change is based on the accumulation of many mutations with small effects. Mutational effects can be beneficial, harmful, or neutral, depending on their context or location. Most non-neutral mutations are deleterious.

PLEASE HELP!!! CHEMISTRY

Hydrogen bonds are typically stronger than Van der Waals forces bc they are based on permanent dipoles, that form when hydrogen comes in vicinity of a highly electronegative atom (like F, N, or O). These bonds are long-lasting and pretty strong.

In the reaction C + O2 → CO2, 18 g of carbon react with oxygen to produce 72 g of carbon dioxide. What mass of oxygen would be n
artcher [175]
Stoichiomety:

1 moles of C + 1 mol of O2 = 1 mol of CO2

multiply each # of moles times the atomic molar mass of the compund to find the relation is weights

Atomic or molar weights:

C: 12 g/mol
O2: 2 * 16 g/mol = 32 g/mol
CO2 = 12 g/mol + 2* 16 g/mol = 44 g/mol

Stoichiometry:

12 g of C react with 32 g of O2 to produce 44 g of CO2

Then 18 g of C will react with: 18 * 32/ 12 g of Oxygen = 48 g of Oxygen

And the result will be 12 g of C + 48 g of O2 = 60 g of CO2.

You cannot obtain 72 g of CO2 from 18 g of C.

May be they just pretended that you use the law of consrvation of mass and say that you need 72 g - 18g = 54 g. But it violates the proportion of C and O2 in the CO2 and is not possible.
