If an atom of Oxygen (8 protons, 8 neutrons, and 8 electrons) gains two electrons, what is the charge of the ion formed?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alexxx [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

It becomes negative

Explanation:

protons carry a positive charge

neutrons carry a neutral charge

electrons carry a negative charge

if we add 2 more electrons, the charge of the ion becomes negative

thank you.

Explain why water is polar. Check all that apply. View Available Hint(s) Water is known as a polar molecule because Check all th
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The correct statements that you must check are:

  • The oxygen atom has a greater attraction for electrons than the hydrogen atom does (second statement).

  • The electrons of the covalent bond are not shared equally between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms (fourth statement).

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the relative ability of an atom to pull the electrons in a covalent bond.

Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.20 and oxygen has 3.44. That means that oxygen attracts the electrons more strongly than hydrogen does (second statement).

As consequence, the electrons in the covalent bond H - O of water are not shared equally (fourth statement): the electron density will  be higher around the O atoms.

Of course, this discards the statement telling that hydrogen atom attracts electrons much more strongly than the oxygen atom, and the statement telling that hydrogen and oxigen have same electronegativity.

Such difference in electron densities creates a dipole moment, so you discard the last statement (that the water dipole moment is equal to zero).

How to separate a mixture of copper carbonate and iron sulfate
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Pure copper sulphate can be obtained from an impure sample by re-crystallization. The impure sample is dissolved in water, heated and then cooled which then later forms crystals. These copper sulphate crystals are then separated by filtration and drying.

What determines the types of chemical reactions that an atom participates in? A. the number of electrons in the outermost electr
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The answer would be A. the number of electrons in the outermost electron shell.

Explanation:

These are called valence electrons which are transferred, shared, and rearranged by creating covalent bonds producing new substances.

Hope this helped! :)
