That will make a gold-202 nucleus.
<h3>Explanation</h3>
Refer to a periodic table. The atomic number of mercury Hg is 80.
Step One: Bombard the
with a neutron
. The neutron will add 1 to the mass number 202 of
. However, the atomic number will stay the same.
- New mass number: 202 + 1 = 203.
- Atomic number is still 80.
.
Double check the equation:
- Sum of mass number on the left-hand side = 202 + 1 = 203 = Sum of mass number on the right-hand side.
- Sum of atomic number on the left-hand side = 80 = Sum of atomic number on the right-hand side.
Step Two: The
nucleus loses a proton
. Both the mass number 203 and the atomic number will decrease by 1.
- New mass number: 203 - 1 = 202.
- New atomic number: 80 - 1 = 79.
Refer to a periodic table. What's the element with atomic number 79? Gold Au.
.
Double check the equation:
- Sum of mass number on the left-hand side = 203 = 202 + 1 = Sum of mass number on the right-hand side.
- Sum of atomic number on the left-hand side = 80 = 79 + 1 = Sum of atomic number on the right-hand side.
A gold-202 nucleus is formed.
Answer:
K is a group 1 element while Ne is a group 0 element
K is a good reducing agent while Ne is inert
K is metal while Ne is a gas
K has one valence electron while Ne has no valence electron
Explanation:
Answer:
No.
Explanation:
The average distance to the center is over 6300km.
They are two representatives of the sublevels/energy levels.
To solve this problem, let us all convert the mass of
each element into number of moles using the formula:
moles = mass / molar mass
Where,
molar mass K = 39.10 g / mol
<span>molar mass Cl = 35.45 g / mol</span>
molar mass O = 16 g / mol
<span>and mass O = 13 g – 4.15 g
– 3.76 g = 5.09 g</span>
moles K = 4.15
g / (39.10 g / mol) = 0.106 mol
<span>moles Cl = 3.76 g / (35.45 g / mol) = 0.106 mol</span>
moles O = 5.09 g / (16 g /
mol) = 0.318 mol
The ratio becomes:
0.106 K: 0.106 Cl: 0.318 O
We divide all numbers with
the smallest number, in this case 0.106. This becomes:
K: Cl: 3O
Therefore the empirical formula
is:
