What is an atom? In your own words What is at the center of an atom?

Chemistry
1 answer:
OleMash [197]3 years ago
3 0

An atom is the smallest unit of ordinary matter that forms a chemical element. Every solid, liquid, gas, and plasma is composed of neutral or ionized atoms. Atoms are extremely small, typically around 100 picometers across

The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged)

A sample of nitrogen occupies 10.0 liters at 25°C what would be the new volume at 20°C? 7.9 L Ob 9.8 L 10.2 L 10.6 L
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

  9.4 liter

Explanation:

1) Data:

V₁ = 10.0 L

T₁ = 25°C = 25 + 273.15 K = 298.15 K

 P₁ = 98.7 Kpa

 T₂ = 20°C = 20 + 273.15 K = 293.15 K

  P₂ = 102.7 KPa

  V₂ = ?

2) Formula:

Used combined law of gases:

  PV / T = constant

  P₁V₁ / T₁ = P₂V₂ / T₂

3) Solution:

Solve the equation for V₂:

  V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂ / (P₂ T₁)

Substitute and compuite:

V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂ / (P₂ T₁)

V₂ = 98.7 KPa × 10.0 L × 293.15 K / (102.7 KPa × 298.15 K)

V₂ =  9.4 liter ← answer

How do anion formation and valence electrons relate?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

A cation is formed when a metal ion loses a valence electron while an anion is formed when a non-metal gains a valence electron. They both achieve a more stable electronic configuration through this exchange.

A group 2 metal carbonate has a mass of 84 g/mol. Identify the group 2 metal X using its chemical formula.
zepelin [54]

Answer:

Magnesium

0.003mole

Explanation:

The problem here entails we find the metal in the carbonate.

 For group 2 member, let the metal  = X;

 The carbonate is XCO₃;

 If we sum the atomic mass of the elements in the metal carbonate, we should arrive at 84g/mol

 Atomic mass of C = 12g/mol

                            O  = 16g/mol

 Atomic mass of X + 12 + 3(16)  = 84

  Atomic mass of X  = 84 - 60  = 24g/mol

The element with atomic mass of 24g is Magnesium

B.

Number of moles in 0.3g of CaCO₃:

     Molar mass of CaCO₃   = 40 + 12 + 3(16)  = 100g/mol

 Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}  

 Number of moles  = \frac{0.3}{100}   = 0.003mole

Determine the formula weight of BeCl₂.
tia_tia [17]
Be= Beryllium= weight 9.01
Cl= Chlorine= weight 35.45
Since there are 2 Chlorine, you have to add Chlorine twice.
9.01 + 35.45 + 35.45= 79.91

Answer: 79.91
