Chapter 2, Problem 1COQ
Summary Introduction
To describe: The properties of three subatomic particles of atoms.
Introduction: The atoms are formed from their subatomic particles. These particles construct the structure of an atom and provide it its distinctive properties. The molecules present in the body of living organisms are known as biological molecules which are formed from the combination of a number of atoms.

- what subatomic particle is present in the nucleus of an atom?arrow_forwardThe “octet rule” in chemistry helps predict the types of bonds thatatoms will form. In general, an atom will be most stable if it fills itsouter shell of 8 electrons. Atoms with fewer than 4 valence electronstend to donate electrons and those with more than 4 valence electronstend to accept additional electrons; those with exactly 4 can do both.Using this rule, determine what category each of the followingelements falls into: N, S, C, P, O, H, Ca, Fe, and Mg. (You will needto work out the valence of the atoms.)arrow_forwardDescribe the similarities and differences between van der Waals attractions and hydrogen bonds.arrow_forward
- which of the sub-atomic particles is commonly represented by this symbol:"e-"?arrow_forwardDiscuss whether the following statement is correct: “An ionic bond can, in principle, be thought of as a very polar covalent bond. Polar covalent bonds, then, fall somewhere between ionic bonds at one end of the spectrum and nonpolar covalent bonds at the other end.”arrow_forwardFor hydrogen bonds, answer these three questions: A) Are they found in polar, non-polar or both types of molecules? B) Are they strong or weak? C) Are they found inside a molecule or between a molecule?arrow_forward
- According to chemist John Dalton, if one mole of nitrogen is combined with three moles of hydrogen to form one mole of ammonia (knowing that nitrogen, with an atomic number of 7, has an atomic mass of 14, and hydrogen, with an atomic number of 1, has an atomic mass of 1), then this compound will have an atomic weight (or molecular mass) of: 14 grams per mole (14 daltons) 17 grams per mole (17 daltons) 20 grams per mole (20 daltons) 22 grams per mole (22 daltons) 43 grams per mole (43 daltons)arrow_forwardDistinguish between atoms and elements.arrow_forwardConsider iron (Fe), hydrogen gas (H2), and ammonia (NH3).Which of them is or are atoms?
