4 neutrons that are produced along with the Zn and sm. The complete final equation is:  ²³⁵U + ¹n → \;^{72}Zn+\;^{160}sm + 4 n

<h3>What atomic mass?</h3>

Atomic mass, the quantity of matter contained in an atom of an element.

1) In the left side of the transmutation equation appears:

²³⁵U + ¹n →

Deleting the atomic number (subscript to the left) because the question does not show them as it is focused on a number of neutrons.

2) The right side of the transmutation equation has:

→ \;^{72}Zn+\;^{160}sm +?

3) The total mass number of the left side is 235 + 1 = 236

4) The total mass number of Zn and sm on the right side is 160 + 72 = 232

5) Then, you are lacking 236 - 232 = 4 unit masses on the right side which are the 4 neutrons that are produced along with the Zn and sm.

The complete final equation is:

²³⁵U + ¹n → \;^{72}Zn+\;^{160}sm + 4 n

What is the luster of aluminum
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Luster of aluminum is Silver-White.

Explanation:

Aluminium is a Silver-White metal which is extracted from the Bauxite ore which can be reddish brown, white, tan, grey-white and tan-yellow in color and have the minerals like Gibbsite, Boehmite and Diaspore which are the minerals of the aluminium.

The Bauxite is the rock from which the Bauxite ore is extracted which have the minerals of the aluminum.

The luster of a metal is the color and shine of it and its shiny appearance.

Aluminium is a light weight metal but have a moderate hardness which makes a wider use of it. Aluminium is used in many places where the weight of the material is kept light but its hardness can be increased by mixing some other metals in it making hard alloy with lighter weight.

It is used in transportation vehicles, buildings, and many other places like Air crafts as the weight should be kept controlled to give a perfect lift to the Air craft.
