What characteristic of an element’s atoms always determines the element’s identity?

Chemistry
1 answer:
dmitriy555 [2]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Number of protons

Explanation:

There are three sub atomic particles. These are;

- Protons

- Electrons

- Neutrons

Among these three particles, only one determines the identity of the element. This is the Protons. The number of protons which is also called the atomic number determines the identity of an element. For instance, atom with one proton is Hydrogen and n other element can have atomic number of one.

Determine the electron-group arrangement, molecular shape, and ideal bond angle(s) for each of the following:
Bad White [126]

The electron group arrangement of NO²⁻is trigonal planar. The molecular shape is bent, and the bond angle is 120°.

<h3>What is the molecular shape of a compound?</h3>

The molecular geometry of the compound shows the position of nuclei and the electron of the compound. It shows how the joining of electrons and nuclei makes the shape of the compound.

Like here, the shape of nitrite is bent with lone pair which is shown by Lewis's structure The bond angle will be the distance between the nuclei of the neighbor atoms.

Thus, the electron geometry arrangement of nitrite is trigonal planer with a bent shape and the bond angle will be 120°.

Why does the temperature of the water stay the same when it melts and boils?
krok68 [10]

The temperature stays the same when a solid changes to a liquid because energy is required to break the forces between particles of water therefore changing the state of matter and separating the particles away from each other.

When a liquid boils, the energy is needed by the particles to escape the surface of the liquid and boil. Instead of raising the temperature, the energy goes into the particles' kinetic energy store so it has enough speed to escape the surface of the liquid.

Winter is coming and it's time to make sure you have the right amount of antifreeze
ololo11 [35]

The molality of the solution = 17.93 m

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

6.00 L water with 6.00 L of  ethylene glycol(ρ=1.1132 g/cm³= 1.1132 kg/L)

Required

The molality

Solution

molality = mol of solute/ 1 kg solvent

mol of solute = mol of ethylene glycol

  • mass of ethylene glycol :

= volume x density

= 6 L x 1.1132 kg/L

= 6.6792 kg

= 6679.2 g

  • mol of ethylene glycol (MW=62.07 g/mol)

=mass : MW

=6679.2 : 62.07

=107.608

  • mass of water

6 L water = 6 kg water(ρ= 1 kg/L)

  • molality

\tt =\dfrac{107.608}{6}=17.93~m

How do you know if a chemical reaction is balanced ?
Alenkasestr [34]

Hey there!

We know that a chemical reaction is balanced when there is the same amount of each element on both sides of the equation.

According to the law of conservation of mass, matter cannot be created or destroyed, so we must have the same amount of each element on each side of a chemical equation.

We count the amount of each element on each side, and the products should have the same number as the reactants.

Hope this helps!
