Define and explain what an atom is

Chemistry
1 answer:
QveST [7]4 years ago
8 0
Hi,

Atom is the second smallest form of any matter behind elementary particles. They are not visible to human eye. It consists of protons and neutrons in the atom core and electrons outside its core. All protons, neutrons and electrons are a part of atomic nuclei.

The more neutrons atom haves the bigger the mass of an atom is.

Number of electrons determines which element does atom represent. The more electrons atom haves the heavier element atom represents.

Different elements have different properties.

Hope this helped you understand what atom is better.

Hope this helps.

Write the coefficients for the reactant and product.
balu736 [363]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The equation for the reaction shown represents the combustion of ethane.

C₂H₆ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

  • To balance the equation we put the coefficients, 2, 7, 4, and 6 on the reactants and products.

2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O

  • Balancing chemical equations makes the number of atoms of each element equal on both side of the equation.
  • It ensures that chemical equations obey the law of conservation of mass in chemical reactions.

Calculate each of the following quantities.<br> (a) mass in kilograms of 3.7 x 1020 molecules of NO2
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  0.028 kg of NO2

Explanation:

Data

3.7 x 10²⁰ molecules of NO2 in kg

MW of NO2 = 14 + (16 x 2) = 14 + 32 = 46 kg

                   1 mol of NO2 ---------------------  6.023 x 10 ²³ molecules

                   x                     --------------------- 3.7 x 10²⁰ molecules

                   x = 3.7 x 10²⁰ x 1 / 6.023 x 10 ²³

                   x = 0.00061 mol

         

                 1 mol of NO2 ---------------------  46 kg of NO2

                 0.00061 mol     ------------------    x

                 x = 0.00061 x 46/1

                x = 0.028 kg of NO2
