Answer:
5 atoms
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, "matter is neither created nor destroyed in the cause of a chemical reaction".
We finish with what we start with in a chemical reaction. Although new species might form, the number of atoms on both sides of the expression will still be maintained.
All chemical reactions obey this law of conservation.
Answer:
1) The volume occupied by an atom is composed of mainly empty space
2) Atoms have a very small, relatively dense, central nucleus that is positively charged
3) The region around the nucleus of an atom are orbited by negatively charged electrons in a the same fashion planets orbit around the Sun.
Explanation:
The selection of gold for the gold foil experiment was due to its ability to be rolled into extremely thin sheets such that it was expected for alpha particle to perforate or pass through the foil.
Answer:
It becomes a positive ion and its radius decreases
Explanation:
As per the Octet rule, Barium has 2 electrons in its outermost shell. When it loses the two electron it gains two positive charge i.e Ba2+. As the barium loses the two electron from its outermost shell, the outermost shell becomes vacant and thus is no more considered as a part of atomic geometry of the barium atom and since the outermost shell is considered negligible the radius of barium atom reduces automatically.
