What is the charge of a hypothetical ion with 85 protons and 87 electrons?

Chemistry

MaRussiya [10]3 years ago

There is a charge of -2 on an ion.
A neutral atom always have equal number of protons and electrons. if an atom loses and electron, an ion gets positive charge and if an atom gains electron it gets negative charge.
An atom with 85 protons means it also have 85 electrons but when it gains two electrons it becomes ion and then the number of electrons is 87. So that is why an ion have -2 charge.

Why are infants and children often more susceptible to the effects of toxic substances than adult? (Explain)
puteri [66]

From what I know personally from learning about this type of subject in the past is that children are more susceptible to the effects of toxic substances more than adults are, certain scientific data specifically indicate that children actually are for all intents and purposes more basically susceptible to toxic exposure than adults because they for the most part have proportionally definitely more intake of food contaminants, basically active developmental processes, basically multiple exposure pathways and really susceptible kind of socio-behavioral activities in a particularly major way.

Scoring Scheme: 3-3-2-1 Use one of your experimentally determined values of k, the activation energy you determined, and the Arr
Lena [83]

Answer:

K = 2.7x10⁻⁵ at 25ºC

Explanation:

A way to write Arrhenius equation is:

ln K = - Ea/R × (1/T) + lnA

If you graph ln K as Y and 1/T as X (Absolute temperature in K), the equation you will obtain is:

Y = -13815X +35.817

R² = 0.9927

(Taking the last k point as 0.0386) (ln 0.0386), <em>0.1386 has no sense</em>)

Your slope is -13815

-13815K = - Ea/R

-13815K×8.314J/molK = 114858J/mol = Ea

And your intercept =

lnA = 35.817

A = 3.59x10¹⁵

Now, you want to know rate constant at 25ºC = 298.15K. Replacing in the equation (Where Y is ln (activation energy) and X is 1/T):

Y = -13815X +35.817

Y = -13815(1/298.15K) +35.817

Y = -10.5187

lnK = -10.5187

<h3>K = 2.7x10⁻⁵ at 25ºC</h3>

How do the chemical properties of the halegons compare to those of the noble gases
saul85 [17]

Answer:

The halogens are extremely reactive, whilst the noble gases are mainly inert.

Only some noble gases tend to form compounds, such as xenon and krypton. However, some like helium, almost have no compounds at all. Noble gases also have octet rule shells, which causes the little reactivity associated with them. To form bonds with noble gases, a lot of energy is required to form those bonds. Halogens, on the other hand, are extremely reactive. Compounds like chlorine and fluorine must be stored carefully, as they will oxidise anything that they can find, just to get one extra electron to get an octet configuration.


Hope this helps :)

Consider an atom having four distinct energy levels. If an electron is able to make transitions between any two levels, how many
Kryger [21]

Energy levels are the electron shells where electrons are found at a fixed distance from the nucleus of the atom. The atom could emit 6 different wavelengths.

<h3>What is wavelength?</h3>

A wavelength is a distance between the adjacent crests in wave signals propagated in a system. Wavelength (\rm \lambda ) is in inverse relation to the frequency of the wave.

When an electron jumps from energy level 1 to 2, 1 to 3, and 1 to 4 one wavelength each is present. Hence, making the total wavelength to be 3, in transition from the first energy level.

Similarly, from energy levels, 2 to 3 and 2 to 4, a total of 2 wavelengths, and from energy levels 3 to 4 one wavelength is produced.

So the total different wavelengths of the radiation that can be emitted will be 3 + 2 + 1 = 6.

Therefore, 6 different wavelengths of radiation will be emitted by the atom.
