Critical thinking : Place an unmagnetized piece of iron in a magnetic field (eg iron filings near a magnet). Why is it attracted

to the magnet?

Magnets attract iron due to the influence of their magnetic field upon the iron. Before a piece of iron enters the magnet, the polarization of the irons atoms is random. When exposed to the magnetic field, the atoms begin to align their electrons with the flow of the magnetic field, which makes the iron magnetized as well. This, in turn, creates an attraction between the two magnetized objects. This is why a piece of iron that is exposed to a magnet becomes magnetic for some time afterward.

CHEM PLZ HELP, Which thermochemical equation represents the most exothermic reaction?
uysha [10]

Answer:

The answer is option 3, C5H12 + 8O2 → 5CO2 + 6H2O.

Explanation:

In an exothermic reaction, the energy change(ΔH) will always be a negative value.

For endothermic reaction, the energy change's value is positive.

In the options above, option 1 and 2 are endothermic reaction.

It is likely the neutral atom has 6 protons and 6 electrons; while the negatively charged atom has 7 or more electrons.

The mass of an atom, commonly known as the atomic mass is determined by the number of protons and neutrons as electrons have a very low mass.

This means two atoms can have the same number of protons and neutrons, but a different number of electrons, which would make the atom be charged negatively or positively.

Based on this, if there are two atoms, each with 6 protons but one of these is negatively charged it is because the second atom has 1 or more extra.

Neutral atom:

  • This atom has 6 protons and an unknown number of neutrons located in the nucleus.
  • This atom has 6 electrons that orbit the nucleus.
  • The first energetic level will include 2 electrons while the second energetic level will include the 4 remaining electrons.

Negatively-charged atom:

  • This atom has 6 protons and an unknown number of neutrons located in the nucleus.
  • This atom has 7 or even more electrons that orbit the nucleus.
  • The first energetic level will include 2 electrons while the second energetic level will include up to 8 electrons.
