The claim: "If the nucleus were the size of a grape, the electrons would be one mile away on average" is reasonably accurate because the ratios between the nucleus's sizes and the distances (between electrons and nucleus) for the two given examples are in the same order of magnitude.
To know if the claim is accurate we need to calculate the ratio of the size of the nucleus (the same as a grape) and the distance between the electrons and the nucleus for example 1 (r₁):
(1)
and to compare it with the ratio of the size and the distance given in example 2 (r₂):
(2)
<em>Where:</em>
s₁: is the size of the nucleus (like the size of a grape)
d₁: is the distance between electrons and nucleus of example 1 = 1 mile
s₂: is the average diameter of the nucleus = 10⁻¹³ cm
d₂: is the average distance between electrons and nucleus of example 2 = 10⁻⁸ cm
Assuming that the diameter of a grape is 3 cm (in a spherical way), the ratio of the <u>first example</u> is (eq 1):
Now, the ratio of the <u>second example</u> is (eq 2):
Since r₁ and r₂ are in the same order of magnitude (10⁻⁵), we can conclude that the given claim is reasonably accurate.

Answer: Atoms form chemical bonds to satisfy the<u> Octet</u> rule and to become <u>stable.</u>
Explanation:
The tendency of atoms to attempt to get a noble gas configuration that is eight valence electrons is said to be octet rule. This is done to attain noble gas configuration and stability.
In order to attain stability the atoms tends to have eight electrons in its valence shell which can be obtained by either by sharing of electrons or complete transfer of electrons.
For example : As we know that the sodium has one valence electron, so if giving it up then the result in the same electron configuration as the neon and chlorine has seven valence electrons, so if it takes one it will have eight and the result in the same electronic configuration as the argon which is stable.
Normally in a mine the ore thats extracteed is unpure and contains many impurities and so are usually compounds and so must be then processed to form pure elements
some elements can be extracted from a solution of its ions such as magnesium
hope that helps
Answer:
We mostly use Kilograms and grams to measure mass =)
Explanation:
Since HCl04 is a strong acid, being [H+], and a molarity of 2.1 M.
To solve for pH:
pH = -log (M) = -log(2.1M) = -0.32, which is clearly a negative number.
However, to verify the answer, just use the pH meter in determining the pH of the solution.
