ahrayia [7]3 years ago
5 0

<u>Answer:</u> Electron has almost no mass.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass is defined as the actual matter that is contained in a substance. At an atomic level, it is expressed in atomic mass units.

The given options are the 3 subatomic particles.

Mass of the given subatomic particles are:

Proton = 1.007276u

Neutron = 1.008664u

Electron = 0.0005485u

Mass of neutron is slightly more than the mass of proton.

From the above information, it is visible that electron has a negligible mass.

Hence, the correct answer is electron.

1. Use your knowledge of valence electrons and how they affect bonds to figure out how carbon (Group 14) and oxygen (Group 16) w
erik [133]

From the fact that oxygen is in group 16 and carbon is in group 14, the structure of CO2 must be O=C=O. In methane, there is no bond between any of the hydrogen atoms. The structure of H2O2 is H–O–O–H.

Carbon is in group 14 hence it has four valence electrons and oxygen is in group 16 hence it has six valence electrons. This implies that each oxygen atom will share four electrons with carbon in a covalent bond to form the structure O=C=O.

In CH4, we know that carbon is tetravalent so it forms for bonds. Therefore, there is no bond between hydrogen atoms so it bonds with each hydrogen atom; hydrogen only forms one bond.

In H2O2, there is the peroxide ion that has the structure O-O. Hence, the correct structure of H2O2 is H–O–O–H.

Why does ice float after it crystallizes? Its mass is greater than water. Its density is greater than water. Its density is less
tekilochka [14]

Ice floats after it crystallizes because ITS DENSITY IS LESS THAN THAT OF WATER.

When a quantity of water is cools down by reducing its temperature, the molecules of the water lose kinetic energy and slow down in their movement. As the water is cooling down, it is volume is expanding. When the temperature reaches zero degree Celsius, the water becomes ice. At this point, the ice can float on water because its density is less than that of water; this is as a result of the spaces that now exist in the ice structure.

An unknown liquid is composed of 34.31% c, 5.28% h, and 60.41% i. The molecular weight is 210.06 amu. What is the molecular form
ozzi

In an unknown liquid, the percentage composition with respect to carbon, hydrogen and iodine is 34.31%, 5.28% and 60.41% respectively.

Let the mass of liquid be 100 g thus, mass of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen will be 34.31 g, 5.28 g and 60.41 g respectively.

To calculate molecular formula of compound, convert mass into number of moles as follows:

n=\frac{m}{M}

Molar mass of carbon, hydrogen and iodine is 12 g/mol, 1 g/mol and 126.90 g/mol.

Taking the ratio:

C:H:I=n_{C}:n_{H}:n_{I}

Putting the values,

C:H:I=\frac{34.31 g}{12 g/mol}:\frac{5.28 g}{1 g/mol}:\frac{60.41 g}{126.90 g/mol}=6:11:1

Thus, molecular formula of compound will be C_{6}H_{11}I.
