Answer:
B
Explanation:
Balanced equations have the same number of elements on both sides. If the number of elements are equal to each other for every element in the equation on both sides, then the equation is balanced.
Important concept : The big number before an element or compound represents how many molecules of that compound or element there are in a reaction. To find the number of atoms of each element you multiply the coefficient by the subscript ( small number ) which represents the number of atoms of that element in each molecule. Ex. 3H2O. There is a coefficient of 3 meaning that there are 3 molecules of H2O. There is a subscript after H meaning there are 2 atoms of hydrogen in each molecule. To find the total number of atoms we multiply the subscript of hydrogen by the coefficient of the whole molecule. 3 * 2 = 6 , so there are a total of 6 atoms of hydrogen in 3H2O
A) Cu + 2AgNO3 ==> CuNO3 + 2Ag
1 Cu 1
2 Ag 2
2 N 1
3 O 3
The amount of nitrogen atoms is different on both sides of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation
B) CCl4 + O2 ==> CO2 + 2Cl2
1 C 1
4 Cl 4
2 O 2
The number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation therefore this is the balanced equation, however lets check the other answer choices just in case.
C) 2K + H2SO4 ==> K2SO4 + 2H2
2 K 2
1 H 4
1 S 1
4 O 4
The number of Hydrogen atoms are different on each side of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation.
D) 2Al2O3 ==> 2Al + 3O2
4 Al 2
6 O 6
There are a different amount of aluminum atoms on both sides of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation.
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.
Answer:
Explanation:
Groundwater is stored in the open spaces within rocks and within unconsolidated sediments. Rocks and sediments near the surface are under less pressure than those at significant depth and therefore tend to have more open space. For this reason, and because it’s expensive to drill deep wells, most of the groundwater that is accessed by individual users is within the first 100 m of the surface. Some municipal, agricultural, and industrial groundwater users get their water from greater depth, but deeper groundwater tends to be of lower quality than shallow groundwater, so there is a limit as to how deep we can go.
The answer would be <span>c.
Antimatter is made up of neutrons and electrons but no positive particles
