Answer:

The CO2 Lewis structure has two double bonds going from carbon to the oxygen atoms. According to the octet rule, each oxygen atom needs to bond twice and the carbon atom needs to bond four times.

Magnesium has three naturally occurring isotopes with masses of 23.99, 24.99, and 25.98 amu and natural abundances of 78.99%, 10

Elodia [21]

Answer:

24.309

Explanation:

Let A, B, and C represent the three isotopes.

For isotope A:

Mass number = 23.99

Abundance = 78.99%

For isotope B:

Mass number = 24.99

Abundance = 10.00%

For isotope C:

Mass number = 25.98

Abundance = 11.01%

Atomic mass of Mg =?

Atomic mass = [(Mass of AxA%)/100] + [(Mass of BxB%)/100] + [(Mass of CxC%)/100]

Atomic Mass = [(23.99x78.99)/100] + [(24.99x 10)/100] + [(25.98x11.01)/100]

Atomic number = 18.950 + 2.499 + 2.860

Atomic mass of Mg = 24.309

How does an atom become a positively charged ion

sladkih [1.3K]

When, it donates electons.

as for example take
NaCl ( sodium chloride)

it's an ionic compund,
that means it is formed by donating or gaining electrons

Na is writen first than, it must be electropositive i.e it has donated electons which made it positive and the clorine gains electron so it's electronegative.

Na is positive because
as we know it's atomic number is 11 that means it has 11 protons and 11 electrons
now, when it donate electon it has, greater number of protons whose change is +ve so the atom becomes overall positively charged ion or cation.

and something same happens in clorine and because it gains one electron and the number of electrons increase in it by 1 whise charge is -ve so, the atom becomes negatively charged ion or anion which has a -1 charge.

Volume of a gas at STP, if its volume is 80.0 mL at 1.08 atm and –12.5oC.

vodomira [7]

Answer:

90.5mL is the volume of the gas at STP

Explanation:

It is possible to find volume of a gas when conditions of temperature and pressure change using combined gas law:

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} =\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

Where P is pressure, V is volume and T is absolute temperature. 1 is initial conditions and 2 final conditions.

If initial conditions are 1.08atm, 80.0mL and absolute temperature is (-12.5°C + 273.15) = 260.65K.

And STP are 1atm of pressure and 273.15K of absolute temperature. Replacing:

$\frac{1.08atm80.0mL}{260.65K} =\frac{1atmV_2}{273.15K}$

V₂ = <em>90.5mL is the volume of the gas at STP</em>

A neutral isotope has 49 neutrons and 36 electrons. Identify the element symbol of this isotope and determine the mass number an

Marta_Voda [28]

Explanation:

In an atom , the relation between the subatomic particles of the atom are given as follows -

For a neutral atom ,

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons ,

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons,

Hence , from the given information of the question,

number of neutrons = 49 ,

number of electrons = 36 ,

Hence , by using the above relation,

Atomic number = 36

number of protons = 36

Since ,

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

Mass number = 36 + 49 = 85 .

By taking the help of periodic table , as atomic number = 36 ,

The elements is Krypton ( Kr )
