Answer:

Protons and electrons

Explanation:

Atoms that have a neutral charge have an equal number of protons and electrons. Protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged, so to cancel out all charges, the number of both these particles must be equal. If there is an unequal amount, then it is called an ion. Ions are atoms that have either a negative or positive charge because the amount of protons and electrons is not balanced.

Naturally occurring magnesium exists as three isotopes. 78.70% is Mg-24 with a mass of 23.98504 amu, 10.13% is Mg-25 with a mass

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is 24.31 amu.

Explanation:

The formula for finding the average atomic mass = The sum of the percentage abundance of isotopes × the actual mass of isotopes

The average atomic mass = % abundance of Mg-24 × actual mass + % abundance of Mg-25 × its actual mass + % abundance of Mg-26 × its actual mass

Avg. Atomic mass = 0.7870 × 23.98504 + 0.1013 × 24.98584 + 0.1117 × 25.98259

Avg. atomic mass = 18.88 + 2.53 + 2.90 = 24.31 amu

The atomic mass of magnesium is 24.31 amu.

Draw the structure of ozone according to VSEPR theory. What would be its associated molecular geometry?

vodka [1.7K]

Answer: Ozone's molecular geometry can be described as bent.

Explanation:

The molecular geometry of the O3 groups has a trigonal planar arrangement.

Here is a quick explanation of the molecular geometry of O3 including a quick description of the O3 bond angles.

Examining the Lewis structure of O3 we can see that there are a pair of unbounded valence electrons at the top of the structure.

Based on VSEPR Theory (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory) these electrons will repel the electron clouds of the two oxygen atoms on the end.

As a result they will be pushed down giving the 03 molecule a bent molecular geometry or shape.

The 03 bond angle will be 116° degrees since it has a Bent molecular geometry
