Answer:

They help stablize the strucure of an atom.

Explanation:

Take into consider isotopes where there are more or less than the ideal amount of neurtrons. These isotopes are radioactive and unstable to the point hey are used as atomic bombs. So with the proper amount of nuetrons it helps the atom maintain structure and not degrade

A chlorine (CI) atom has 7 valence electrons. Which of the following would be the most likely way for a chlorine atom to become
pogonyaev

Answer:

Option C. Gain 1 electron

Explanation:

Valence electron(s) are the electron(s) located on the outermost shell of an atom. Valency is simply defined as the combining power of an atom.

Chlorine (Cl) atom has 7 valence electron. This implies that Cl needs just one electron to complete it's octet configuration. It will be difficult for Cl to lose any of it's valence electron(s). Cl can either gain or share 1 electron to become stable.

Thus, considering the options given in the question above, option C gives the correct answer to the question.

If 100.0 grams of na3n decompose to form sodium and nitrogen, how many moles of sodium are formed? write and balance equation be
Yakvenalex [24]
The balanced equation is:
2Na_3N-\ \textgreater \ 6Na + N_2

Then proceed with the following equations.


100g Na_3N*(\frac{1molNa_3N}{82.98gNa_3N})*(\frac {6mol Na}{2molNa_3N})*(\frac {22.99gNa}{1molNa})=83.12gNa

The answer is 83.12gNa.

If two atoms have an electronegativity difference of 1.3, what type of bond would form between them?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is b polar covalent

Explanation:

When two atoms joined by covalent bond has difference in their electronegativities at that time polarity arise.

    When the electronegativity difference is low such as 1.3 then the polar bond formed by the two atoms are called polar covalent bond.For example H2O

 on the other hand polar bond formed by two atoms having high difference in their electronegativities is called ionic bond.For example NaCl.

Calculate the equilibrium constant of the reaction below if the pressures are 1.0atm, 2.0 atm, and 1.0 atm respectively. PCl3 +
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

K = 0.5

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

PCl₃ + Cl₂ ⇄ PCl₅

The equilibrium constant, K, is defined as:

K = P PCl₅ / P PCl₃ * P Cl₂

<em>Where P represent the pressure at the equilibrium for each one of the gases involved in the equilibrium.</em>

<em />

As:

P PCl₅ = 1.0atm

P PCl₃ = 1.0atm

P Cl₂ = 2.0atm

K = 1.0atm / 1.0atm * 2.0atm

<h3>K = 0.5</h3>
