How do modern scientists describe the makeup of matter?

1 answer:

4 0

Any substance made out of iotas, that has mass and possesses space. Matter ought not be mistaken for mass, as the two are not the same in current material science. Matter is itself a physical substance of which frameworks might be formed, while mass isn't a substance but instead a quantitative property of issue and different substances or frameworks. While there are diverse perspectives on what ought to be viewed as issue, the mass of a substance or framework is the same regardless of any such meaning of issue. Another distinction is that issue has an "inverse" called antimatter, however mass has no inverse—there is no such thing as "hostile to mass" or negative mass. Antimatter has the same (i.e. positive) mass property as its typical issue partner.

In which set do all elements tend to form anions in binary ionic compounds? li, na, k n, o, i c, s, pb k, fe, br?

pav-90 [236]

Atoms or molecule after gaining of electron possesses negative charge and is known as anion.

For the given sets:

$Li, Na, K$

The given elements are alkali metals and have tendency to lose electrons easily and form cations.

$N, O, I$

The given elements are non-metals and are electronegative. So, they gain electrons easily and form anion.

$C, S, Pb$

Carbon has tendency to form bond by sharing of electrons, Sulfur has tendency to gain electrons and form anion whereas Lead has tendency to lose electron.

$K, Fe, Br$

Potassium and Iron has tendency to lose electron and form cation whereas Bromine has tendency to gain electron to form anion.

Hence, from the given sets, all elements of set: $N, O, I$ have tendency to form anions in binary ionic compounds.

mixer [17]

Answer:

Metal

Non-metal

Explanation:

CaF2 is an ionic compound. Ionic compounds are mostly composed of a metal and a non metal. Metals donate electrons to non-metals to form ionic compounds.

Calcium is a divalent ion of group two in the periodic table while F is a univalent nonmetal of group 17 in the periodic table. Hence the compound CaF2 is composed of a metal and a nonmetal.

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The correct option is: D.act as a Lewis base in water.

Explanation:

Ammonia is a hydride of nitrogen with the chemical formula NH₃. It is a colorless gas with a characteristic pungent smell. According to the VSEPR theory, it has a trigonal pyramidal structure.

In water, ammonia acts as a Lewis base due to the presence of lone pair on the nitrogen atom. Lewis bases are electron pair or lone pair donors.

Select the single best answer. Which mechanism properly shows the movement of electrons in the reaction? 2xsafari

sweet [91]

Answer:

Explanation:

We must study the reaction pictured in the question closely before we begin to attempt to answer the question.

Now, the reaction is a free radical reaction. This implies that only one electron is transferred. The transfer of one electron is shown using a half arrow rather than a full arrow. The both species are radicals (odd electron species) and contribute one electron each.

Hence we must show electron movements in both species using a half arrow.
