an element whose properties are intermediate between those of metals and solid nonmetals. they are electrical semiconductors.
Answer:
First check to make sure you have a balanced equation
Second use mole ratios to set up what you need to know
Finally convert the moles to grams using the correct molecular weight
I will get you started
According to the reaction above, one mole of Magnesium Nitrate is produced from 2 moles of Nitric Acid
1 mole of Mg(NO3)2/2 moles of HNO3
5 grams of Nitric acid contains
5 g * 1 mole/63 g of Nitric Acid = 0.079365079 moles
Explanation:
Answer: Identifies the number of protons a single atom of the element contains.
Explanation: The atomic number helps people identify elements according to the number of protons one atom of the element has. It essentially defines the element. While having a neutral charge, it also provides the number of electrons the element has (in one atom).
Answer:
Explanation:
Electrovalent is a word often associated with chemical bonding in the field of chemistry. It is special type of bond that occurs between metals and non-metals.
These bond types are interatomic interactions occurring between two atoms to ensure that they attain stable configurations.
- This bond type is also known as ionic bonds.
- It occurs between two species with a large electronegative diffference i.e one specie is electropositive and the other highly electronegative.
- The more electropositive specie is metal and it readily loses its valence electrons.
- The electronegative non-metal gains the electrons and becomes negatively charged.
- The electrostatic attraction between the metal and non-metals yields the electrovalent bonds.
Answer:
Discovery of neutron
Explanation:
Until 1932, the atom was believed to be composed of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by negatively charged electrons, after successful discovery of electron by J.J. Thompson and proton by Ernest Rutherford.
In 1932, James Chadwick bombarded beryllium atoms with alpha particles.
As Chadwick had previously seen in experiment conducted by Frédéric and Irène Joliot-Curie, they had bombarded a sample of beryllium with alpha radiation.
Chadwick repeated the experiment and observed an unknown radiation, this showed no deflection what-so-ever.
He repeated this experiment by bombarding other materials, like helium, nitrogen and lithium,
Finally, Chadwick found that this radiation was composed of particles with a neutral electrical charge and had approximate mass of a proton.
This particle was then known as the neutron.
