Answer:

B) 5

Explanation:

When an atom lose are gain the electron ions are formed.

There are two types of ions. Cation and anion.

Cation:

It is formed when an atom lose the electrons.

X → X⁺ + e⁻

Anion:

It is formed when an atom gain the electron.

X + e⁻ → X⁻

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

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.

if an atom has 8 protons it means there were eight electrons present. when it lost three electron it have +3 charge and number of electron that remain are five. 8-3 = 5

What is the ranking order of the degree of polarity? Of HF,HCI,HBr and HI
Savatey [412]

Answer:

The ranking order of the degree of polarity is HF>HCl>HBr>HI

Explanation:

The degree of polarity of a compound depends on the nature electronegative atom that it contains.

      Among Fluorine,chlorine,bromine and iodine the electronegativity of fluorine is highest among all the mentioned atoms.

     Due to high electronegativity HF is the most polar than HCl,HBr and HI and the HI have least polarity as its atomic structure is large and electronegativity is lower than fluorine,chlorine and bromine.

In an experiment, a student places a small piece of pure Mg(s) into a beaker containing 250.mL of 6.44MHCl(aq) . A reaction occu
solong [7]

Answer:

Mg(s) + 2H^+(aq) ----> Mg^2+(aq) + H2(g)

Explanation:

We must first write the molecular equation, then obtain the complete ionic equation and subsequently get the net ionic equation as shown below;

Molecular reaction equation;

Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) ------> MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)

Complete ionic equation;

Mg(s) + 2H^+(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) ----> Mg^2+(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) + H2(g)

Net ionic equation;

Mg(s) + 2H^+(aq) ----> Mg^2+(aq) + H2(g)

Why do you not fill you car tires with just oxygen?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

in text

Explanation:

But the main reason for using pure nitrogen is resistance to leakage. Nitrogen molecules find it harder to sneak out through the tire past the rubber molecules than oxygen molecules. This makes nitrogen a good bet for race car, aircraft and heavy-duty equipment where precise or constant pressure is critical.

Arrange the isotopes of sulfur and phosphorus in order of decreasing number of neutrons.
Monica [59]
I do not believe you're asking this...
OK. Sulfur has a total of 24 isotopes. Every isotope has 16 protons and the number of neutrons ranges from 10 to 33 inclusive.
Phosphorus has a total of 23 isotopes. They have 15 protons, and between 9 and 31 neutrons inclusive. So here we go.
