Chemistry
1 answer:
iogann1982 [59]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

C- A proton has about the same mass as a neutron .

Explanation:

In an atom such as a carbon atom, the masses of the proton and neutrons are the same.

The mass of the electrons is very negligible.

  • Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom
  • Neutrons do not carry any charges
  • Both protons and neutrons have similar masses.
  • They contribute the bulk of the mass of the atom.
  • The electrons carry negative charges and they have negligible masses.

The mass of protons and neutrons are similar.

How will you describe the pathway of oxygen in the breathing system?
QveST [7]
<span>Air enters through the nose or mouth (which join to form the nasopharyngeal cavity). The air travels through the trachea which and the trachea splits into two bronchi. The air travels through the bronchi which split into smaller and smaller bronchioles. The tiny bronchioles and the air ends up in the miniscule alveoli, where the oxygen in the air diffuse into the bloodstream. Carbon dioxide diffuse from the bloodstream into the alveoli and the unwanted gas travels in reverse back to the nose and mouth, where it is breathed out.</span>

Is potassium fluoride a covalent bond or ionic bond
Ivahew [28]

It's an ionic bond! Potassium is a cation, or a metal with a positive charge, and fluoride is an anion, or a nonmetal with a negative charge.

A covalent bond is the bond between two nonmetals.

Hope this helped!

What is the oxidation number of P in PF6^-
Hitman42 [59]
<span>F can only have oxidation number of -1
The overall compound has an oxidation number of -1
You have 6 Fs, so 6(-1) = -6
charge from F
 X = oxidation number of P
 x + (-6) = -1
solve for
x = +5</span>
