Define and explain what an atom is

Chemistry
1 answer:
QveST [7]3 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.

Consider the reaction mg(oh)2(s)→mgo(s)+h2o(l) with enthalpy of reaction δhrxn∘=37.5kj/mol what is the enthalpy of formation of
Anni [7]
Answer is: -601,2 kJ/mol
Chemical reaction: Mg(OH)₂ → MgO + H₂O.
ΔHrxn = 37,5 kJ/mol.
ΔHf(Mg(OH)₂) = <span>−924,5 kJ/mol.
</span>ΔHf(H₂O) = <span>−285,8 kJ/mol.
</span>ΔHrxn -enthalpy of reaction.
ΔHf - enthalpy of formation.
<span>ΔHrxn=∑productsΔHf−∑reactantsΔHf. 
</span>ΔHf(MgO) = -924,5 kJ/mol - (-285,8 kJ/mol) + 37,5 kj/mol.
ΔHf(MgO) = -601,2 kJ/mol.

Consider the positions of barium (Ba), sulfur (S), silicon (Si), and calcium (Ca) on the periodic table. The atoms of which elem

Element      atomic number       position

Ba              56                             group 2, period 6

Ca              12                             group 2, period 3

S                16                             group 16, period 3

Si               `14                            group 14, period 3


Now, you need to know the properties of the different type of elements and the tendencies on the periodic table.


The metallic elements are, those placed on the left side of the periodic table, are the ones that release an electron more easily, so they will requiere less energy to give it up when forming chemical bonds.


The higher the metallic character the less the energy need to give up an electron.


The metallic character grows as the group number decreases (goes to the left) period increases (goes downward), so among the  elements considered, Barium will require the least amount of energy to give un an electron when forming chemical bonds.

any time an energy conversion takes place, some of the original energy is converted to which one of the following?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Thermal energy.

Explanation:

Anytime energy transfers between 2 places or things some of it is 'wasted' as thermal energy (heat). This could be by friction or a change in temperature from a reaction. We say it is wasted because this heat energy serves no purpose.
