Explanation:

South America land mass serves as a deflector for the South equatorial current. This deflection the current causes them to move in a different direction. If the Continent were not present the direction of the South equatorial current would not change and it would continue to flow in the west.

What is the fraction of the hydrogen atom's mass (11h) that is in the nucleus? the mass of proton is 1.007276 u, and the mass of

ololo11 [35]

Hello there!

To determine the fraction of the hydrogen atom's mass that is in the nucleus, we have to keep in mind that a Hydrogen atom has 1 proton and 1 electron. Protons are in the nucleus while electrons are in electron shells surrounding the nucleus. The mass of the nucleus will be equal to the mass of 1 proton and we can express the fraction as follows:

$Mass Fraction= \frac{mass 1 Proton}{mass H atom} = \frac{1,007276 u}{1,007825}=0,9995$

So, the fraction of the hydrogen atom's mass that is in the nucleus is 0,9995. That means that almost all the mass of this atom is at the nucleus.

Have a nice day!

Hector claims that a single sodium ion and a single oxygen ion do not bond together to form a stable binary ionic compound. Is h

levacccp [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Looking at the periodic table, we can see that sodium is in group 1, so a sodium ion would be Na⁺, with a charge of +1. Oxygen is in group 16, so an oxygen ion would be O²⁻, with a charge of -2.

A compound formed only by a single sodium ion and a single oxygen ion would thus have a charge of -1, and in order to have a stable ionic compound its charge must be zero.

All of the following reactions can be described as displacement reactions except:____________.

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

The reaction that is not a displacement reaction from all the options is $C_6H_6_{(l)} + Cl_{2(g)} --> C_6H_5Cl_{(l)} + HCl_{(g)}$

In a displacement reaction, a part of one of the reactants is replaced by another reactant. In single displacement reactions, one of the reactants completely displaces and replaces part of another reactant. In double displacement reaction, cations and anions in the reactants switch partners to form products.

<em>Options a, c, d, and e involves the displacement of a part of one of the reactants by another reactant while option b does not.</em>

Correct option = b.
