I believe that this atom is chlorine and the atom has an overall charge of zero.
Chlorine is chemical element which is atomic number 17 in the periodic table. Each chlorine atom has 17 protons (positively charged) in the nucleus balanced by 17 electrons (negatively charged) in the energy shells ( thus an overall charge of zero)
Answer:
Explanation:
Two moles of magnesium (Mg) and five moles of oxygen (O2) are placed in a reaction vessel. When magnesium is ignited, it reacts with oxygen. What is the limiting reactant in this experiment?
Mg + O2 → MgO (unbalanced)
first, balance the equation
2Mg +O2-------> 2MgO
two magnesium atoms react with one diatomic oxygen molecule
there is a 1:1 ratio of magnesium to oxygen atoms
but we have 2 moles of magnesium atoms and 2X5 = 10 moles of oxygen atoms
the lesser magnesium LIMITS the amount of product we can make, so it is the LIMITING REAGENT.
The softest mineral in the Mohs Hardness Scale is talc.
Talc is often used in baby powder and corn starch, among other things. Talc cleaves into thin sheets, and it is held together only by van de Waals bonds, which allows these sheets to slip past each other. This gives the mineral its softness and it is often valued as a high-temperature lubricant.
<span>The difference between an element and a compound is that an element is a substance made of same type of atoms, whereas a compound is made of different elements in definite proportions. Examples of elements include iron, copper, hydrogen and oxygen. Examples of compounds include water (H2O) and salt (Sodium Chloride - NaCl) </span>
Rock cycle - a process in which a rock forms, changes from one type of rock to another, forms again by processes on and in the Earth.
Metamorphic Rock - Rocks changed by intense heat or extreme pressure.
Sedimentary Rock - A rock that forms when sediments are compacted and cemented together.
Igneous Rock - A rock that forms when molten rock cools and hardens.
