Does an oxygen atom weight the same as a hydrogen atom?
an oxygen and a hydrogen atom do not weight the same
When iron reacts with oxygen to form rust each iron atom losses or gains ions?
Each iron atom loses three electrons.
Is iron dioxide a compound or an element?
Elements only have one kind of atom throughout. Iron dioxide has both iron and oxygen so it isn't an element.
Describe oxygen model in isotopes?
isotopes are just the same oxygen atom with a different number of protons
How many atom does fe2o3 have?
It has 2 iron atoms and 3 oxygen atoms for a total of 5.
Does an oxygen atom weight the same as a hydrogen atom?
an oxygen and a hydrogen atom do not weight the same
When iron reacts with oxygen to form rust each iron atom.?
In that reaction, each iron atom loses three electrons.
When iron reacts with oxygen to form rust each iron atom losses or gains ions?
Each iron atom loses three electrons.
What type of bonding is the oxygen molecule likely to be held to the iron atom in the iron?
Endothermic.
Most common atom in the world?
"The world" could be taken to mean the universe as a whole or Earth specifically. The most common atom in the universe is hydrogen. The most common atom in Earth's crust is oxygen. Slightly more of the Earth's total mass comes from iron (about 32% iron, 30% oxygen), but since an iron atom is a bit over three times the mass of an oxygen atom, there are still more oxygen atoms than iron atoms in Earth as a whole.
When iron reacts with oxygen to form rust each iron atom losses or gains irons?
The iron atom doesn't gain or loss "irons". The question does not make sense.
Why iron nails rust in tapwater?
One water molecule is formed from 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. Rust is a chemical compound of iron and oxygen. When the nail is put in the water, a chemical reaction begins. If you have 1 iron atom and 1 water molecule, then the water molecule comes apart into one molecule of hydrogen, witch forms the bubbles and one ion(a highly reactive atom) of oxygen. Then the oxygen ion reacts with the iron atom and forms a rust molecule.
What are condition are needed for rusting?
You need naked iron, in an environment containing oxygen (like most outside air, or water). Steel is carbon saturated steel. Oxygen can't easily bind with the iron elements in steel, as carbon has a stronger bond, and even if an oxygen atom would pull out another atom out of the steel it would be a carbon atom, not an iron one.
What does Each hemoglobin molecule contains an atom of iron that binds reversibly with?
oxygen
What is the site of oxygen binding on hemoglobin?
You have Iron atoms in hemoglobin. This atom is the binding site for oxygen in case of hemoglobin.
Each heme contains an atom of iron and can transport one molecule of oxygen?
true
What atom elements are in iron oxide?
"Atoms" of the compound iron oxide do not exist, but the compound contains iron and oxygen atoms, both in the form of ions.
