Why does it matter if atoms are divisible ???

Chemistry
1 answer:
Andreyy893 years ago
5 0

Atoms are divisible contrary to the early beliefs that the smallest "indivisible" matter is an atom. When an atom loses its identity it means that they are divisible. Atoms chemically react with other kinds of atoms thus changing their activity.

They certainly are not that important to our lives, but it’s good to know :)

Protons:

- Have a mass

- Positively charged

- Found inside the nucleus of an atom

Electrons:

- Have a mass. (9.10938188×10−31 kilograms), though this can sometimes be considered negligible due to how small that actually is. Barely factored into atomic mass

- Negatively charged

- Found outside the nucleus in the electron shell

Neutrons:

- Have a mass

- Neutral (no charge)

- Found inside the nucleus of an atom

Atom A:

- 1 proton

- 0 Neutrons

- 1 electron

- Atomic mass of 1

- Atomic number of 1

Atom B:

- 8 Protons

- 10 Neutrons

- 8 electrons

- Atomic mass of 18

- Atomic number of 8

Atomic mass includes the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Atomic number is the number of protons, as this is what defines what type of element the atom is.

Plastics are synthetic, organic polymers. how are plastics similar and different to polysaccharides
yawa3891 [41]
Plastics and polysaccharides are somewhat similar because they are both polymers. Polymers are a long chain of repeating units called monomers. Their difference, however, is the identity of their monomers. Plastics have hydrocarbons as monomers. Plastics with the monomer ethene is called polyethylene. For polysaccharides, their monomers are simple sugars.
