Answer:the term 'atom' in chemistry represents the basic unit of matter that normally exists in a free state and contains all chemical properties. It is an infinite particle that clearly identifies a chemical element. It consists of a positively charged nucleus and is surrounded by negatively charged electrons.
An ion or charge is an atom or group of atoms that has lost or gained one or more electrons. An ion that has a negative charge, when it gains one or more electrons, is called an anion or negative charge, and an ion that has a positive charge when it loses one or more electrons, is called a cation or positive charge.
Explanation:
The correct answer is D.
Echo refers to the sound that is heard when a sound wave is reflected back from a surface. An echo sound is made when a sound wave traveled through the air, hit a hard surface and get reflected back. Generally, hard surfaces reflect sound wave while soft surfaces absorb sound waves. Reflected sound waves are used in application of some devices that are used in range and direction finding.
Answer:
Ag+ = 47 electrons - 1 electron = 46 electrons. Finally: 47 protons , 61 neutrons and 46 electrons.
Explanation:
Answer:
b. cannot exist in optically active form
Explanation:
Stereochemistry is a branch of chemistry that involves the spatial arrangement of the atoms of molecules and studies how this affects the physical and chemical properties of such species.
The correct structure for (2R,3S)‑2,3‑dibromobutane can be seen in the image attached below. Since the compound is a meso compound due to the plane of symmetry. Thus, the compound is achiral. i.e. Compounds that are superimposable on its mirror image. The plane of symmetry is vertical inclined at 90°(i.e. perpendicular) to the page thus goes via the middle of the molecule.
