There are three subatomic particles known: (1) electron which is found outside the nucleus of an atom and (2 and 3) protons and neutrons which are both inside the nucleus. As they are outside the nucleus, it is easier to transport electron than any other subatomic particle. Thus, atom and its ion differ in the number of electrons.
Answer:
- <em>The net charge of the ionic compound calcium fluoride is </em><u><em>zero (0).</em></u>
<em>Explanation:</em>
<em>Ionic compounds,</em> such as covalent ones, have zero net charge; this is, they are neutral.
Substances with net positive charge are cations and substances with net negative charge are anions.
The charges in the <em>ionic compound calcium flouride</em> are distributed in this way:
- Calcium charge: Ca²⁺: this is, each calcium ion has a 2 positive charge
- Fluoride charge: F⁻: each fluoride ion has a 1 negative charge.
- Then, the <em>net charge</em> is: 1 × (2+) + 2 × (1-) = +2 - 2 = 0.
So, a two positve charge, from one calcium ion, is equal to two negative charges, from two fluoride tions, yielding a <u>zero net charge</u>.
Answer:
Nitrogen, the next nonmetal, has 5 electrons in the valence shell, so it needs to combine with 3 hydrogen atoms to fulfill the octet rule and form a stable compound called ammonia (NH3).
Answer:56.98496
Explanation:
half if diameter is radius or 1.55 and double the radius is 3.10 or the length of the diameter. you have a height given, so use the radius and heaight to plug it in the circular cylinder calculator and you get 56.98496
