Describe the electrical charges of the particles in atoms

Chemistry
1 answer:
vodka [1.7K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Atom consist of three particles proton , electron and neutron.

electrical charge on electron= -1.6022 × 10∧-19 C

electrical charge on proton= +1.6022 × 10∧-19 C

electrical charge on neutron= 0

Explanation:

Atoms are the fundamental unit of matter. Every thing in the universe that occupy space and have mass is called matter. we can say that every matter is composed of atoms. while the atom is composed of subatomic particles called electron proton and neutron.

Electron:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol = e-

Mass= 9.10938356×10-31 Kg

electrical charge on electron= -1.6022 × 10∧-19 C

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

Proton and Neutron:

An atom consist of positively charged central core (nucleus) that is made up of Proton and neutron.  Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P+  

electrical charge on proton= +1.6022 × 10∧-19 C

Mass of proton=1.672623×10-27 Kg

Symbol of neutron= n0

Mass of neutron=1.674929×10-27 Kg

electrical charge on neutron= 0

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons.

The natural abundances of elements in the human body, expressed as percent by mass, are oxygen (o), 65 percent; carbon (c), 18 p
Vlada [557]

It is given that the person weighs 62 kg = 62,000 g

Natural abundances in mass percent are:

O = 65%

C = 18%

H = 10%

N = 3.0%

Ca = 1.6%

P = 1.2%

Corresponding weights of the elements are:

O = 65/100 * 62000 g = 40.30 * 10^3 g

C = 18/100 * 62000 g = 11.16 * 10^3 g

H = 10/100 * 62000 g = 62.00 * 10^2 g

N = 3.0/100 * 62000 g = 18.60 * 10^2 g

Ca = 1.6/100 * 62000 g = 9.92 * 10^2 g

P = 1.2/100 * 62000 g = 7.44 * 10^2 g

HELP ASAP!!!!!!
blondinia [14]

2, 4, 1

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

Ag₂O → Ag + O₂

To balance the chemical equation the number of atoms of each element entering the reaction have to be equal to the number of atoms of each element leaving the reaction, in order to conserve the mass.

So the balanced chemical equation is:

2 Ag₂O → 4 Ag + O₂

When C2H6(g) reacts with O2(g) according to the following reaction, 1.43×103 kJ of energy are evolved for each mole of C2H6(g) t
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

-2.86x10³ kJ

Explanation:

The enthalpy of a reaction (ΔH) is defined as the heat produced or consumed by a reaction. In the reaction:

2 C₂H₆(g) + 7 O₂(g) → 4 CO₂(g) + 6 H₂O(g)

The ΔH is the heat envolved in the reaction per 2 moles of C₂H₆. 1.43x10³ kJ are involved when 1 mole reacts. Thus, when 2 moles react, involved heat is:

1.43x10³ kJ ₓ 2 = <em>2.86x10³ kJ</em>. As the reaction is a combustion reaction (Produce CO₂ and H₂O), the heat involved in the reaction is <em>PRODUCED, </em>that means ΔH is negative, <em>-2.86x10³ kJ</em>

Write the balanced chemical equation for the following: The destruction of a marble statuary by acid rain: aqueous nitric acid r
Mashcka [7]

Answer: The coefficient in front of nitric acid is 2

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas. Liquids are represented by (l) and gases are represented by (g).

The balanced chemical reaction is :

CaCO_3(s)+2HNO_3(aq)\rightarrow Ca(NO_3)_2(aq)+CO_2(g)+H_2O(l)
