Why is an atom regarded as electrically unstable​

Chemistry
1 answer:
meriva3 years ago
5 0

Answer: An atom can be considered unstable in one of two ways. If it picks up or loses an electron, it becomes electrically charged and highly reactive. Such electrically charged atoms are known as ions. Instability can also occur in the nucleus when the number of protons and neutrons is unbalanced.

Can somewhere show me the dimensional analysis of this?
natita [175]

245 mm Hg = 32.6634 kPa

<u>Explanation:</u>

When the pressure inside the can is measured in mm Hg and it is needed to convert mm mercury (Hg) to kilo pascal, we have to multiply the pressure in mm Hg with  0.13332, so that the pressure is converted in kilo pascals.

1 mm Hg × 0.13332 = 1 kPa

245 mm Hg × 0.13332 = 32.6634 kPa

So the pressure in mm mercury is converted into kilo pascals.

\al(s) + 3agno3(aq) → al(no3)3(aq) + 3ag(s) this equation represents which type of chemical reaction?
Savatey [412]
 Al(s)  + 2AgNO3(aq) = Al(NO3)3(aq) + 3 Ag (s) 


is a  single  replacement reaction

 A  single  replacement  reaction  is a type  of chemical reaction were element react with a compound  and  the element take  place  of another element in that  compound.  In the reaction above Aluminium  (Al) take the place of  silver (Ag)  from it compound.that is AgNO3. single  replacement reaction is possible because  aluminium   is  in high in reactivity   series    as compared to silver.

The following steps are unbalanced half-reactions involved in the nitrogen cycle. Balance each half-reaction to show the number
Vadim26 [7]

This is an oxidation reaction. The balanced equation is as follows:

      6H₂O  + N₂ → 2NO₃⁻+ 12H⁺  + 6e⁻

Rules to balance redox reaction in acidic medium

  1. Write the given equation in ionic form
  2. Identify elements undergoing oxidation ( charge increase, O.N inc) and reduction (charge dec, O.N dec)
  3. Break the equation into two halfs
  4. Balance the half equations

A. Balance all other atoms except Oxygen and hydrogen

B. Balance oxygen by adding H2O to the side deficient in oxygen

C. Balance hydrogen by adding H+ ions

D. Balance charge by adding electrons

5. Add the two half such that electrons gets cancelled

Oxidation number of N in N2 is 0 while in NO₃⁻, it is +5. Thus there is an increase in oxidation number, thus oxidation is taking place.

              N₂(g) → NO₃⁻(aq)

  • balance N.

           N₂ → 2NO₃⁻

  • balance O by adding H2O

          6H₂O  + N₂ → 2NO₃⁻

  • Now balance Hydrogen

            6H₂O  + N₂ → 2NO₃⁻+ 12H⁺

  • balance charge. 0 charge on left, -6 and + 12 on right. add 6e⁻ on right to balance.

             6H₂O  + N₂ → 2NO₃⁻+ 12H⁺  + 6e⁻

Thus we can conclude that since there is increase in oxidation number, oxidation is taking place.
