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.

Use the periodic table to identify the element indicated by each electron configuration by typing in the

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

1s22s22p6: Neon (Ne)

1s22s22p63s23p3: Phosphorous (P)

1s22s22p63s23p64s1: Potassium (K)

1s22s22p63s23p64s2(im not sure what 308 is supposed to be): Calcium (Ca)

1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s24d3: there is no pure element that ends 4d3 that I know of so this can either be Zirconium(Zr) if it ends in 4d2 or Niobium (Nb) if it ends in 4d4

Explanation:

you can look at the periodic table and the trends to find the rough idea of where the electron configuration ends, there are helpful articles and images on these, i attached an image that may help. After that you can look at the atomic number to find the number of electrons for a pure element and use the electron subshell pattern thing to find the exact number

What example of mixture could be seperated using two or more techniques? Explain your answer

STatiana [176]

You can take two liquids of different densities (how much mass is in a given volume) and pour them into a funnel. An example is oil and water. When the mixture settles, the denser liquid will be at the bottom, and drips through the funnel first. This is a separation that you can just let occur naturally.

A sheet of gold weighing 8.8 g and at a temperature of 10.5°C is placed flat on a sheet of iron weighing 19.5 g and at a tempera

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

$T = 36.393\,^{\textdegree}C$

Explanation:

The contact between the sheet of gold and the sheet of iron allows a heat transfer until thermal equilibrium is done, which means that both sheets have the same temperature:

$-Q_{iron} = Q_{gold}$

$-(0.008\,kg)\cdot (452\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} )\cdot (T-54.4\,^{\textdegree}C) = (0.0195\,kg)\cdot (129\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} )\cdot (T-10.5\,^{\textdegree}C)$
