Answer:

Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of microscopic particles, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. Gas are well separated with no regular arrangement. liquid are close together with no regular arrangement. solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.

Which best explains how heat plays a role in the movement of materials within Earth's interior?
Tema [17]

Answer:

Hot material near Earth's surface is more dense and sinks, and when it cools, it becomes less dense and rises.

Explanation:

Convection is a process by which less dense material rises and more dense material sinks near Earth's surface. Water, air, rocks and other materials expands when temperature rises and they become less dense. When the water is heated it becomes vapors and carries away thermal energy from the water.

Calcium’s atomic number is 20. it forms ions with 18 electrons. what is the electrical charge of a calcium ion?
Gnom [1K]
It would be a positive charge because it lost two electrons, if the charge was neutral it would be the same amount of protons and electrons, if the charge was negative the electrons would be 20 instead of 18. So in this case it is positive.

During a chemical reacion, an iron atom beacme the ion Fe+2. what happened to the iron atom?
galben [10]

Answer:

That iron atom is oxidized. It loses two electrons.

Explanation:

Compare the formula of an iron atom and an iron(II) ion:

  • Iron atom: \mathrm{Fe};
  • Iron(II) ion: \mathrm{Fe^{2+}}.

The superscript +2 in the iron(II) ion is the only difference between the two formulas. This superscript indicates a charge of +2 on each ion. Atoms and ions contain protons. In many cases, they also contain electrons. Each proton carries a positive charge of +1 and each electron carries a charge of -1. Atoms are neutral for they contain an equal number of protons and electrons.

Protons are located at the center of atoms inside the nuclei. They cannot be gained or lost in chemical reactions. However, electrons are outside the nuclei and can be gained or lost. When an atom loses one or more electrons, it will carry more positive charge than negative charge. It will becomes a positive ion. Conversely, when an atom gains one or more electrons, it becomes a negative ion.

An iron atom \mathrm{Fe} will need to lose two electrons to become a positive iron(II) ion \mathrm{Fe^{2+}} with a charge of +2 on each ion. That is:

\rm Fe \to Fe^{2+} + 2\;e^{-}.

  • Oxidation is Losing one or more electrons;
  • Reduction is Gaining one or more electrons.

This definition can be written as the acronym OILRIG. (Khan Academy.)

In this case, each iron atom loses two electrons. Therefore the iron atoms here are oxidized.
