Why is their no overall charge on atoms?

1 answer:

8 0

An atom contains protons, neutrons and electrons.
Protons have a positive charge (+1).
Neutrons have no charge (0)
Electrons have a negative charge (-1)

The number of protons and electrons is always the same and so the charges add up to make 0. Therefore there is no overall charge on atoms.

does a reaction occur when an aqueous solution of calcium iodide and sodium sulfate are combined. If a reaction does occur write

lara [203]

Answer:

Yes. Ca²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) ⟶ CaSO₄(s)

Step-by-step explanation:

The possible reaction is

CaI₂ + Na₂SO₄ ⟶ CaSO₄ + 2NaI

To predict a reaction, you must know the solubility rules.

The important ones for this question are

Salts containing Na⁺ are soluble. Thus, NaI is soluble.
Most sulfates are soluble, but CaSO₄ is not. Thus, CaSO₄ is a precipitate, and a reaction occurs.

Molecular equation

CaI₂(aq) + Na₂SO₄(aq) ⟶ CaSO₄(s) + 2NaI(aq)

Ionic equation

Ca²⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq) + 2Na²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) ⟶ CaSO₄(s) + 2Na⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq)

Net ionic equation

Cancel all ions that appear on both sides of the reaction arrow (underlined).

Ca²⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq) + 2Na²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) ⟶ CaSO₄(s) + 2Na⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq)

The net ionic equation is

Ca²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) ⟶ CaSO₄(s)

Which of the following accurate describes the atmospheric conditions required for the formation of clouds

anygoal [31]

Answer:

To make a cloud, air needs only to be cooled to saturation and beyond. ... Usually the water vapor amounts in air are less that this amount. When this is the case, we describe the air as being unsaturated. If we add more vapor to such air, we could reach the maximum for the temperature

Be sure to answer all parts. Write an unbalanced equation to represent each of the following reactions: Do not include phase abb

Eva8 [605]

Answer: The unbalanced chemical equations are written below.

Explanation:

An unbalanced chemical equation is defined as the equation in which total number of individual atoms on the reactant side is not equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side. These equations does not follow law of conservation of mass.

For a:

The chemical equation for the reaction of nitrogen gas and oxygen gas follows:

$N_2+O_2\rightarrow NO_2$

The product formed is nitrogen dioxide.

For b:

The chemical equation for the decomposition of dinitrogen pentaoxide follows:

$N_2O_5\rightarrow N_2O_4+O_2$

The product formed is dinitrogen tetroxide and oxygen gas.

For c:

The chemical equation for the reaction of ozone to oxygen gas follows:

$O_3\rightarrow O_2$

The product formed is oxygen gas.

For d:

The chemical equation for the reaction of chlorine and sodium iodide follows:

$Cl_2+NaI\rightarrow NaCl+I_2$

The product formed is sodium chloride and iodine gas

For e:

The chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium and oxygen gas follows:

$Mg+O_2\rightarrow MgO$

The product formed is magnesium oxide

Las sustancias ionicas y los metale sson electricamente neutros. ¿como es esto posible si estan formados por iones, que posen ca

Anton [14]

Answer:

ver explicacion

Explanation:

Los iones se forman cuando las especies químicas pierden o ganan electrones.

Las sustancias iónicas consisten en un ión positivo y negativo cuyas cargas se equilibran exactamente entre sí, por lo que el compuesto iónico es neutro.

Los átomos de metal se mantienen unidos por el enlace metálico. Esto implica la interacción entre iones metálicos cargados positivamente y un mar de electrones negativos. Las cargas positivas de los iones metálicos están exactamente equilibradas por el mar de electrones cargados negativamente, por lo que el metal es neutro.
