An ion of oxygen- 16 contains 8 protons and has a 2- charge. How many electrons does it have?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Verdich [7]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

i would say 10, so the anser is A.

Explanation:

because there are the same number of protons and electrons, therefore for a regular O, you are supposed to have only 8 protons, but it is charged, thus, whatever the charge is will be taken into consideration into how much the proton and electron doe it have. Thus, for this case, it has 10, because the charge is negative and you have 8 electron plus 2 = 10.

Which of the following best describes an advantage of cloning? Can prevent genetic diseases Can increase genetic diversity Helps
s344n2d4d5 [400]
The statement that best describes an advantage of cloning is that it can prevent genetic diseases. DNA cloning is a term used in recombinant DNA technology happens when a DNA strand belonging to one organism is transmitted into a particular type of genetic element having the capacity to self replicate. DNA cloning was developed to offer solutions related to healthcare and medical issues. Illnesses occur mostly because our body fails to produce essential proteins in ample amount is needed, these problems and other inherited problems may be solved using DNA cloning.

According to the quantum-mechanical model for the hydrogen atom, which electron transition produces light with the longer wavele
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

The main task here is that there are some missing gaps in the above question that needs to be filled with the appropriate answers. So, we are just going to do rewrite the answer below as we indicate the missing gaps by underlining them and making them in bold format.

SO; In the quantum-mechanical model of the hydrogen atom.

As the n level increases. the energy <u>increases</u> and thus levels are <u>closer to </u>each other. Therefore, the transition <u>3p→2s</u> would have a greater energy difference than the transition from <u>4p→3p.</u>

Energy \  and \  wavelength  \ are \  inversely \   proportional , \  so \  the \ \mathbf{ 4p\to 3p} \ transition  \ wouldproduce  \ a  \ longer \ wavelength.

How can chemical weathering contribute to physical weathering?
lora16 [44]

A-leads to the abrasion of rocks and minerals

A-dense vegetation cover

True

Explanation:

Weathering is the physical disintegration and chemical decomposition of rocks to form sediments and soils.

Agent of weathering are wind, water and glacier.

Chemical weathering contributes to physical weathering in that it leads to the abrasion of rocks and minerals.

During chemical weathering, a rock chemically combines with materials in the environment and weakens it.

When physical weathering processes are induced, grains produced independently weakening of bonds in rocks grind against one another and wears each other off.

An area with a dense vegetation cover undergoes rapid chemical weathering:

  • Plant roots penetrates deep into the rock and increases the surface area of chemical action.
  • Plants produce chemicals that combines with rocks and causes them to decay.
  • Since the area is always moist, chemical action becomes more severe.

Buildings and statues made of stone are subjected to the same degree of weathering as rocks exposed naturally.

This is true.

Statues and buildings weather just like rocks we find in nature.

It is the same sunshine and rain that impacts rocks that also impacts buildings and statues.

So they degrade at the same rate except they are protected.

When you have a free metal ion, how do the energies of these orbitals relate to one another (are they the same, different, etc.)
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The energy of the orbitals are the same

Explanation:

For a free metal ion, all the d-orbitals are of the same energy. The five d-orbitals are said to be five fold degenerate in the free metal ion. Hence all the d-orbitals will possess the same energy irrespective of which one is first filled.

In an octahedral or tetrahedral crystal field, the d-orbitals will loose their degeneracy and become different in energy based on their orientation towards the ligands.
