Explain why you cannot just take away a proton to make a halogen negative.​

The force that holds protons and neutrons together is too strong to overcome.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Consider the location of the particles in an atom.

  • Electrons are found outside the nucleus.
  • Protons and neutrons are found within the nucleus.

Protons carry positive charges and repel each other. The nucleus will break apart without the strong force that holds the protons and neutrons together. This force is much stronger than the attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. X-rays are energetic enough for removing electrons from an atom. However, you'll need a collider to remove protons from a stable nucleus. You could well have ionized the atom with all that energy.

Also, changing the number of protons per nucleus will convert the halogen atom to an atom of a different element. Rather than making the halogen negative, removing a proton will convert the halogen atom to the negative ion of a different element.

What is the millimolar solubility of oxygen gas, o2, in water at 16 ∘c, if the pressure of oxygen is 1.00 atm?
Artyom0805 [142]
Partial pressure is the amount of pressure or force that is exerted by the atoms into the outer environment. it is dependent on the temperature and pressure of the present surroundings. in this case, we are asked in this problem to determine the partial pressure of oxygen at 16oC and 1 atm. We have to look into a solubility data table commonly found in handbooks and determined via experiments and correlations. According to literature, the value of the partial pressure is equal to 0.617 mM.This is under the assumption that the salinity of the water in which oxygen is dissolved is equal to zero.

For each pair below, select the sample that contains the largest number of moles. Pair A 2.50 g O2 2.50 g N2
raketka [301]

Answer:

Explanation:

Pair  2.50g of O₂ and 2.50g of  N₂

The atoms sample with the largest number of moles since the masses are the same would be the one with lowest molar mass according the the equation below:

Number of moles = \frac{mass }{molarmass}

Atomic mass of O = 16g and N = 14g

Molar mass of O₂ = 16 x 2 = 32gmol⁻¹

Molar mass of N₂ = 14 x 2 = 28gmol⁻¹

Number of moles of O₂ = \frac{2.5}{32} = 0.078mole

Number of moles of N₂ = \frac{2.5}{28} =  0.089mole

We see that N₂ has the largest number of moles

Why does silver iodide have a higher melting point than vanillin
MAVERICK [17]
AgI has a higher melting point than vanillin because it is an ionic compound. The bonds are held more tightly together than in vanillin because it is a covalent compound. Ionic bonds have a higher melting point because the electrons are being transferred from one atom to the other.
