Answer:
The mass of an atom is found in its nucleus.
Explanation:
An atom is made of three different particles: protons, neutrons and electrons.
Protons (positive charge) and neutrons (no charge) each have a mass of 1 AMU. They are both found in the nucleus (centre) of the atom.
Electrons (negative charge) are considered to have a mass of 0. Their mass is not actually 0, but very close so we do not count them. They are not in the nucleus, but found in shells surrounding the atom.
To calculate the mass of an atom, we add the number of protons and the number of electrons.
m = P + N
hydrogen and oxygen atoms
Explanation:
this is because they are non metals and there will be sharing of electrons between the two atoms forming the bond
You should read up on Proust's law, better known as the Law of Definite Proportions. This is a chemical law that defines your question more generally, on why the ratio of elements and ions are always fixed.
Basically, this compound Magnesium(II) Chloride is MgCl2 because it has the same number of protons, neutrons, and electrons all the way. This defines the properties of the compound or atom.
Answer:
The correct answer is B) HOOCCH2CH2COOH(aq)
Explanation:
Both Ka1 and Ka2 are low, so the acid will dissociate only slightly into HOOCCH2CH2COO- ions and even more slightly into -OOCCH2CH2COO- ions. The concentration of hydronium ions (H₃O⁺) will be consequently low. The species that will be in the highest concentration will be HOOCCH2CH2COOH (the weak acid not dissociated).
