Atoms are electrically neutral because they contain equal quantities of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. Electrons and protons have equal but opposite charges, so the result is no net charge.

Atoms have no electric charge because the protons and electrons "cancel out" each others charges. Neutrons have no charge. What is the atomic number of an element? The atomic number is the number of protons in the atom's nucleus.

Hope this helps have a great day :)

An unknown element X has the following isotopes: ⁵²X (89.00% abundant), ⁴⁹X (8.00% abundant), ⁵⁰X (3.00% abundant). What is the
Vlad [161]

Answer:

52 amu

Explanation:

To get the relative atomic mass of the element, we need to take into consideration, the atomic masses of the different isotopes and their relative abundances. We simply multiply the percentages with the masses. This can be obtained as follows:

[89/100 * 52] + [8/100 * 49] + [3/100 * 50]

46.28 + 3.92 + 1.5 =51.7 amu

The approximate atomic mass of element x is 52 amu

Which state of matter expands when heated and is easy to compress? gas solid liquid
butalik [34]

Answer:

gas

Explanation:

The gas molecules are far apart and as such, when heated they gain more kinetic energy thereby colliding with one another and with the wall of the container thereby exerting pressure and also they can be compressed by reducing the distance between between the molecules.

1.00 g of a compound is combusted in oxygen and found to give 3.14g of CO2 and 1.29 g of H2O. From these data we can tell thatA.
lora16 [44]

Answer:

the compound contains C, H, and some other element of unknownidentity, so we can’t calculate the empirical formula

Explanation:

Mass of CO2 obtained = 3.14 g

Hence number of moles of CO2 = 3.14g/44.0 g = 0.0714 mol

The mass of the carbon in the sample = 0.0714 mol × 12.0g/mol = 0.857 g

Mass of H2O obtained = 1.29 g

Hence number of moles of H2O = 1.29g/18.0 g = 0.0717 mol

The mass of the carbon in the sample = 0.0717 mol × 1g/mol = 0.0717 g

% by mass of carbon = 0.857/1 ×100 = 85.7 %

% by mass of hydrogen = 0.0717/1 × 100 = 7.17%

Mass of carbon and hydrogen = 85.7 + 7.17 = 92.87 %

Hence, there must be an unidentified element that accounts for (100 - 92.87) = 7.13% of the compound.
