Tanya [424]3 years ago

The atomic structure of the atom contains 9 positively charged particles (protons) and 10 neutrally charged particles (neutrons) in the center of the atom in a clump called the nucleus. Those 9 negatively charged particles (electrons) are moving around outside of the nucleus.
There are 10 neutral charges, because the mass of 19 comes from the number of neutral charges plus the number of positive charges.
To calculate the number of neutral charges, subtract the positive charges from the mass (19 - 9), and you get the number of neutral charges (10).

Identify this reaction.
MakcuM [25]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Single displacement reaction

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Single replacement reaction is a type of reaction in which a reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its compound.
  • The reaction given above; Al + H₂SO₄ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + H₂ is a single replacement reaction.
  • This is because Aluminium takes the place of hydrogen atoms in sulfuric acid to form aluminium sulfate and hydrogen gas.
  • Double replacement reaction is where cations or anions are exchanged between two compounds to form new compounds.
  • For example the reaction; NaCl(aq) + AgNO₃(aq) → NaNO₃(aq) + AgCl(aq) is a double displacement reaction.
