A fluorine atom has 9 positive charge,9 negative charges and a mass of 19. Describe the structure of its atom.

1 answer:

6 0

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).

drek231 [11]

Explanation:

A) particles are close together in random positions with about equal kinetic energy and intermolecular forces.

These points are about liquid state.

B) particles are close together in fixed positions with low kinetic energy

These points satisfy the qualities of Solid state

C)particles are far apart with greater kinetic energy and low intermolecular forces.

The above qualities are for Gaseous state of matter

A) Liquid

B)Solid
