Answer:
Atoms are electrically neutral because the number of protons, which carry a 1+ charge, in the nucleus of an atom is equal to the number of electrons, which carry a 1- charge, in the atom. The result is that the total positive charge of the protons cancels out the total negative charge of the electrons so that the net charge of the atom is zero. Most atoms, however, can either gain or lose electrons; when they do so, the number of electrons becomes different from the number of protons in the nucleus. The resulting charged species is called an ion.
Cations and anions
When a neutral atom loses one or more electrons, the total number of electrons decreases while the number of protons in the nucleus remains the same. The result is that the atom becomes a cation—an ion with a net positive charge.
The opposite process can also occur. When a neutral atom gains one or more electrons, the number of electrons increases while the number of protons in the nucleus remains the same. The result is that the atom becomes an anion—an ion with a net negative charge. We can illustrate this by examining some very simple cations and anions, those formed when a single hydrogen atom loses or gains an electron.
Note: Hydrogen is actually somewhat unusual in that it readily forms both cations and anions. Most elements much prefer to form only one or the other. In terms of its electron configuration, can you explain why hydrogen can form both cations and anions? Feel free to post in the comments at the end of the article!

What is the relationship between a chemical equation and a chemical reaction? What are reactants and products in a chemical equation?
Answer:
A chemical reaction occurs when reactants are converted into products. A chemical equation is a representation of a chemical reaction using chemical symbols. The chemical equation also indicates the physical state of the reactants and products. The substances that go into a chemical reaction are called the reactants, and the substances produced at the end of the reaction are known as the products.
Explanation: because UwU
A chemical equation is an expression that gives the identities and quantities of a chemical reaction. A chemical equation shows the reactants on the left side and the products on the right which are separated by an arrow.
What is the chemical equation?A chemical equation is the representation of a chemical reaction in terms of symbols of the substances. A chemical equation consists of reactants participating in the reaction, formed products, and an arrow showing the direction of the chemical reaction.
The equation in which the number of atoms of substances is equal on either side of the equation is called a balanced chemical equation.
The law of conservation of mass follows by a balancing of a chemical equation. According to this law, in a chemical reaction, the mass can neither be created nor destroyed.
By obeying this law, the total mass of the elements present on the reactant side should be equal to the total mass of elements present on the product side in a balanced chemical equation.

Answer:
A new substance was forming
Explanation:
Two types of changes are undergone by substances involved in a reaction. They are physical changes and chemical changes. Physical changes are those changes that does not involve the synthesis of a new product. On the other hand, CHEMICAL CHANGES alters the chemical composition of the substances involved, and hence, new substances are formed.
Chemical changes are usually characterized by change of temperature, color change, evolution of a gas etc. According to this question, Mia mixed two substances in a test tube and noticed that the test tube became warm. She also noticed gas coming from the test tube. Based on Mia's observations, a CHEMICAL CHANGE, LEADING TO THE FORMATION OF NEW SUBSTANCE, HAS OCCURRED.

1. How many moles of potassium are present in 4.23 x 10^25 potassium atoms? (show solution)
Answer:
70.27 molesExplanation:
To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula
[tex]n = \frac{N}{L} \\ [/tex]
where n is the number of moles
N is the number of entities
L is the Avogadro's constant which is
6.02 × 10²³ entities
From the question we have
[tex]n = \frac{4.23 \times {10}^{25} }{6.02 \times {10}^{23} } \\ = 70.265780...[/tex]
We have the final answer as
70.27 molesHope this helps you

The atomic number of an element is 11. What is the likely arrangement of the valence and core electrons in a neutral atom of this element?
Answer:
The correct answer is 10 core electrons and one valence electron.
Explanation:
The electrons in an atom, which are not valence and do not take part in chemical bonding are known as core electrons. The core electrons and the nucleus of an atom produces the atomic core. These core electrons are held tightly with the nucleus. On the other hand, the outer shell electrons, which are associated with an atom and take part in the generation of a chemical bond is the outer shell is open are known as valence electrons.
In the given question, the atomic number of an element is 11, thus, the electronic configuration will be,
1S² 2S² 2P⁶ 3S¹
Hence, there is only one valence electron and 10 core electrons.

Gases are measured in different units. Which of the following measurements of pressure are equal? Select all that apply.
101.325 kPa
101,325 Pa
1 atm
10 kPa
1,000 Pa
Explanation:
Pressure of a gas is the combined force with which the molecules bombard a unit area of the wall of the container.
1 atm = 760mmHg
= 760torr
= 101325Pa
= 101325Nm⁻²
1mmHg = 1torr
1Pa = 1Nm⁻²
101.325 kPa and 101,325 Pa are the same
1000Pa = 1kPa
101,325 Pa and 1 atm
1atm and 101.325 kPa
