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.

33. Why does Fluorine exert a stronger pull than Chlorine on the valence electrons of another
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Fluorine is much more reactive than chlorine (despite the lower electron affinity) because the energy released in other steps in its reactions more than makes up for the lower amount of energy released as electron affinity.

What is the total number of electrons in a<br> Mg2+ ion?(1) 10 (3) 14<br> (2) 12 (4) 24
Citrus2011 [14]
The answer is (1) 10. The protons of Mg atom is 12. So the Mg atom has 12 electrons. The Mg2+ ion has lost two electrons so it has two positive charge. Then the answer is 10 electrons.

How many moles are in 3.01 x 10^23 atoms of zinc?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

<h2>0.5 moles</h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L} \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

n =  \frac{3.01 \times  {10}^{23} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }  =  \frac{3.01}{6.02}  \\  = 0.5

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.5 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you

If there is currently 50kg of U-235 present in Oklo, how much must have been present 750 million years ago when the reaction too
Viefleur [7K]
To answer this question, you need to know the concept of half-life, which is how a radioactive material decreases in mass over time.

The half life of U-235 is 703.8 million years. The first part of this problem is to find the scale factor. To do this, divide the time that has past by the half life, like this:

\frac{750}{703.8}  = 1.066
Now, take this scale factor and multiply it by the current mass, like this:

50 \times 1.066 = 53.3
This number is what you add to the current mass to get the original mass. That is because the scale factor showed us that it was just over one half life. Since after one half life, the mass is cut in half, and this is over one half life, when we add to the original it will be a little over double. This equation illustrates the final addition:

50 + 53.3 = 103.3
I hope this helped you. Fell free to ask any further questions.
