<h2>Answer:  # of neutrons = 9</h2>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

# of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

                      = 17 - 8

                      = 9

<h3>∴ number of neutrons in an atom of oxygen of mass number 17, is 9.</h3>

Determine the distance of closest approach (in fm) before the alpha particle reverses direction. Assume the lead nucleus remains
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Take E(alpha particle energy) = 5.5 MeV (5.5x106x1.6x10-19)

If the charge on the lead nucleus is +82e(atomic number of lead is 82) = +82x1.6x10-19 C and the charge on the alpha particle is +2e = 2x1.6x10-19 C

Using dc = (1/4πεo)qQ/Eα we have

dc = [9x10^9x(2x1.6x10-19x82x1.6x10-19)]/5.5x10-13 = 6.67x10^-13m. = 6.67 x 10^-13 x 10^15 = 6.67 x 10^2fm

Note: 1meter = 10^15fentometer

Explanation:

This is well inside the atom but some eight nuclear diameters from the centre of the lead nucleus.
