Answer:
X = Water (H2O) ; Y = Hydrogen ; Z = Oxygen
Explanation:
2(H2O) -------> 2H2 + O2
Answer:
A group of dissimilar elements with a net charge remaining is called a polyatomic ion.
Explanation:
Answer:
7. 4H₂O
Elements: Hydrogen, Oxygen
Number of molecules: 4
Number of elements: 8 H, 4 O
Number of Atoms: 12
Explanation:
The elements are determined by the their symbol i.e. H = hydrogen.
The number of molecules is determined by the coefficient ( the number in front of everything, in this case 4).
The number of elements is determined by the coefficient and the subscripts. Multiply the coefficient by the subscript after each element. When there is no subscript, it is equal to 1. 4H₂ = 4x2 = 8; 4O = 4x1 = 4.
The number of atoms is all the individual elements added together. 8+4 = 12.
Answer:The atom being mostly empty space. A small number of alpha particles were deflected by large angles (> 4°) as they passed through the foil. There is a concentration of positive charge in the atom. Like charges repel, so the positive alpha particles were being repelled by positive charge
