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

Chemistry

romanna [79]2 years ago

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.

What is the scaling factor if the molar mass of
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The scaling factor is 5.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the scaling factor is defined as the ratio of the molar mass of the molecular formula (complete) to the empirical formula (simplified), it is possible to compute it for the empirical formula of CH2O whose molar mass is 30 g/mol (12+2+16) as shown below:

sf=150/30=5

Therefore, we can also infer that the molecular formula would be:

C_5H_1_0O_5

Best regards!

A gas cylinder contains exactly 15 moles of oxygen gas (O2). How many molecules of oxygen are in the cylinder? 4.01 × 1022 molec
Semmy [17]
The answer is 9.03 × 10²⁴<span> molecules.

</span><span>Avogadro's number is the number of units (atoms, molecules) in 1 mole of substance.
Make the proportion.
</span><span>6.02 × 10²³ molecules per 1 mol
</span>x per 15 mol

6.02 × 10²³ molecules : 1 mol = x : 15 mol
x = 6.02 × 10²³ molecules * 15 mol * 1 mol
x = 90.3 × 10²³ molecules
x = 9.03 × 10 × 10²³ molecules
x = 9.03 × 10²³⁺¹ molecules
x = 9.03 × 10²⁴ molecules
