EastWind [94]3 years ago
8 0

Atoms are made up of three basic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus, and the nucleus is found in the very center of an atom. Protons are positively charged whereas neutrons have no charge.

Electrons are found on the electron shells, and the electron shells are found in in the outermost region of an atom. The outermost electron shell contains valence electrons. Electrons are negatively charged.

The number of protons vary depending on the atomic number of an atom. The number of neutrons vary depending on the atomic mass and atomic number of an atom. To find the neutron you must subtract the atomic mass from the atomic number. The number of electrons in a neutral atom also vary depending on the atomic number.

Sorry this is so long. I didn't quite understand your question so I added the last paragraph in just in case it was helpful in any way. I hope I helped!

Use the equation n2 + 3h2=2nh3 if 8.0g N2 react, how many grams of NH3 will be produced
Eduardwww [97]

the balanced equation for the formation of ammonia is

N₂ + 3H₂ ---> 2NH₃

molar ratio of N₂ to NH₃ is 1:2

mass of N₂ reacted is 8.0 g

therefore number of N₂ moles reacted is - 8.0 g / 28 g/mol = 0.286 mol

according to the molar ratio,

1 mol of N₂ will react to give 2 mol of NH₃, assuming nitrogen is the limiting reactant

therefore 0.286 mol of N₂ should give - 2 x 0.286 mol = 0.572 mol of NH₃

therefore mass of NH₃ formed is - 0.572 mol x 17 g/mol = 9.72 g

a mass of 9.72 mol of NH₃ is formed

Carbon dioxide is a colorless odorless gas why is it considered a pollutant?
WARRIOR [948]

Carbon dioxide is a gas having chemical formula CO_{2}, a gas which exhaled by humans and inhaled by plants. It is also emitted from the sources such as cement production and combustion of fossil fuels. It is also known as greenhouse gas associated with acidification of ocean.

Carbon dioxide with other gases acts like a blanket of Earth which absorbs infrared radiations emitted from the sun and thus, preventing the escaping of these rays into the outer space which results in the gradual heating of Earth's surface and atmosphere i.e. increase in temperature of Earth. This process is known as Global Warming.

Hence, carbon dioxide is responsible for the increase in warming of the atmosphere i.e. option (D).

How does the size of a nanoparticle compare with the size of an atom?
RSB [31]
A nanoparticle is larger than an atom. A nanoparticle is usually made from a few hundred atoms. These  particles range from 1 nanometers to 100 nanometers. On the other hand an atom ranges from 0.1 nanometers to 105 nanometers. Using the sizes above, one can clearly see and understand that an atom is smaller.
