Explain why the nucleus of an atom is positively charged but the overall charge of an atom is neutral

Chemistry
1 answer:
gtnhenbr [62]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The nucleus is positively charged because it contains all of the protons however the charge of an atom is neutral because there is an equal amount of protons (positive) and electrons (negative) meaning the opposite charges cancel each other out therefore making the atoms overall charge neutral.

What is a way in which nuclear fusion is used?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:It is a nuclear process, where energy is produced by smashing together light atoms. It is the opposite reaction of fission, where heavy isotopes are split apart.

Explanation Fusion is the process by which the sun and other stars generate light and heat.

It’s most easily achieved on Earth by combining two isotopes of hydrogen: deuterium and tritium. Hydrogen is the lightest of all the elements, being made up of a single proton and a electron. Deuterium has an extra neutron in its nucleus; it can replace one of the hydrogen atoms in H20 to make what is called “heavy water.”

The molecules of a substance must have what characteristics in order to be flexible
Goryan [66]
Answer:
            <span>The molecules of a substance which must have the <u>a</u></span><u>bility to move past one another</u> are said to be flexible.

Explanation:
                   Those substances are said to be flexible which can be bent without breaking. There are many substances which are hard in nature but still can be bent. The hardness of such materials is due to strong interactions between the molecules and the flexibility comes due to their amorphous backbone. Therefore, greater the crystalline level of macromolecules lesser is the flexibility and greater the amorphous character greater is the flexibility and vice versa. Also, the flexibility of polymers is increased by adding plastisizers in it. Plastisizers make the hard polymers flexible by breaking the crosslinkers and enabling the macromolecules to move past one another.
