Why can’t you split an element in half?

Chemistry

dedylja [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

It depends on the atom, or more specifically, on the size of its nucleus. There is a competition between the electrical repulsion of the protons (that drives the nucleus apart) and the attraction of the protons and neutrons (due to chromodynamics). For nuclei above a certain size, the repulsion tends to win

Sodium (Na) is an explosive metal, while Chlorine (CI) is a toxic gas. However, when bonded together they form regular table sal
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

When a sodium atom transfers an electron to a chlorine atom, forming a sodium cation (Na+) and a chloride anion (Cl-), both ions have complete valence shells, and are energetically more stable. The reaction is extremely exothermic, producing a bright yellow light and a great deal of heat energy.

How many H atoms are in 6.43g x 10^24 molecules of water
kow [346]

Answer:

12.86\times 10^{24} atoms of hydrogen

Explanation:

The molecular formula for a water molecule is H_2O.

From the above formula, we can conclude that 1 molecule of water contains 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen.

There are 6.43\times 10^{24} molecules of water.

1 molecule of water = 2 atoms of hydrogen.

∴ 6.43\times 10^{24} molecules of water = 2\times 6.43\times 10^{24}=12.86\times 10^{24} atoms of hydrogen.

Therefore, there are 12.86\times 10^{24} atoms of hydrogen in 6.43\times 10^{24} molecules of water.

Why is
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

See note in Explanation

Explanation:

The modern periodic table of the elements is arranged in order of increasing atomic numbers which is also in terms of the number of protons in the nucleus. That is, for any element listed on the periodic table its atomic number equals the number of protons in the nucleus. Thus, the element with 2 protons in its nucleus would be element #2 (Helium), element #3 (Lithium) has 3 protons in its nucleus and element #4 (Beryllium) has an atomic number 4 and contains 4 protons in its nucleus.

Also, this arrangement of elements finds that elements <u>below</u> elements 2, 3 & 4, Neon #10; sodium #11 & magnesium #12 have similar chemical and physical properties as does elements #2, #3 & #4. Such gives rise to the 'Periodic Law' => the chemical and physical properties of the elements is a periodic function of their atomic number (or, number of protons in the nucleus).
