Which statement correctly compares the masses of subatomic particles in an atom such as carbon?

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.

Identify the followings as a element or compound c12 h22o11
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Compound

Explanation:

The given specie is a compound.

A compound is made up of two or more kinds of atoms/elements joined together in a definite grouping.

  • The properties of a compound are distinct and different from those of the individual elements that are combined in its make-up.
  • For this given specie, the elements are carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
  • So, this is a compound.

Elements are distinct substances that cannot be split - up into simpler substances. Such substances consist of only one kind of atom

Identify a cation. Group of answer choices an atom that has lost a proton. an atom that has gained an electron an atom that has
pshichka [43]

Answer: An atom that has gained an electron.

Explanation:

The number of protons in an atom cannot change except for some exceptional circumstances.

Cations (or metal ions) are formed when atoms lose electrons, as they want to form a complete outer electron shell to become as stable as possible.

For example, potassium is a 1+ ion, because it has one electron in its outer shell (and in group one). Therefore, to become more stable that electron is lost to become an ion or cation. As one electron is lost, the potassium cation charge is 1+ as the charge of an electron is 1-.
