The formation of protons over neutrons (thus producing about a 7:1 ratio) was favored in the early universe because:____.

1 answer:

7 0

Because it requires more energy to create a neutron from a proton than it does to create a proton from a neutron, protons were formed more frequently than neutrons in the early universe. The correct answer is option b.

To find the answer, we need to know more about the early universe.

<h3>How the formation of proton over neutrons was favored in the early universe?</h3>

A neutron is produced with greater energy than a proton.
However, later on, some of the protons were changed into neutrons.
Contrary to some claims, the proton is a stable particle that never decays, but the neutron is unstable outside of the nucleus and decays with a half life of around 10.5 minutes.
However, very few would have had time to decay on the timeline you mention in your question.
Every matter particle should have been accompanied by an antimatter particle, and every proton, neutron, and electron, by an anti-neutron and a positron, respectively.
Where did all the antimatter go is the great mystery. There have been a few attempts to explain this, but they have failed.

Thus, we can conclude that, the correct answer is option b.

Explain why vanadium (radius=134 pm) and copper (radius=128 pm) have nearly identical atomic radii, even though the atomic numbe

Viktor [21]

<span>There are few main factors affecting the atomic radii, the outermost electrons and the protons in the nucleus and also the shielding of the internal electrons. I would speculate that the difference in radii is given by the electron clouds since the electrons difference in these two elements is in the d orbital and both has at least 1 electron in the 4s (this 4s electron is the outermost electron in all the transition metals of this period). The atomic radio will be mostly dependent of these 4s electrons than in the d electrons. Besides that, you can see that increasing the atomic number will increase the number of protons in the nucleus decreasing the ratio of the atoms along a period. The Cu is an exception and will accommodate one of the 4s electrons in the p orbital.

</span><span>Regarding the density you can find the density of Cu = 8.96g/cm3 and vanadium = 6.0g/cm3. This also correlates with the idea that if these two atoms have similar volume and one has more mass (more protons; density is the relationship between m/V), then a bigger mass for a similar volume will result in a bigger density.</span>

Which organism would have the most variation in the DNA of its offspring?

Arada [10]

The organism that would have the most variation in the DNA of its offspring is the cat (Option C). Meiosis is a type of cell division that generates more genetic variability than asexual types of reproduction.

Meiosis is a type of reductional cell division by which a parental cell produces 4 daughter cells (gametes), each containing half of the genetic material.

Animals (e.g., cats) generate gametes by meiosis which fuse during fertilization to produce new offspring.

Both amoeba and bacteria reproduce by a type of asexual reproduction called binary fission. Moreover, yeasts also reproduce asexually by a process called budding and fission.

Both asexual and sexual types of reproduction generate genetic variability by the emergence of new mutations in daughter cells.

Meiosis generates much more genetic variability than asexual types of reproduction due to two different processes:

Random assortment of chromosomes, which produces new allele combinations.

Recombination, i.e., by the exchange of genetic material (DNA) between non-sister chromatids during Prophase I.

Is cobalt 60 more dangerous than bananas ( potassium 40) and why ?

maxonik [38]

Answer:

To the best of my knowledge, it is because of the amount of gamma rays is given off.

Explanation:

While both are isotopes, Potassium 40 gives off fewer gamma rays compared to Cobalt 60. Potassium 40 isn't really harmful to humans, but Cobalt 60 (I believe) is used in chemotherapy.

How many molecules are in 3.6 grams of NaCl?

raketka [301]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{None}}$

Explanation:

There are no molecules in NaCl, because it consists only of ions.

However, we can calculate the number of formula units (FU) of NaCl.

Step 1. Calculate the moles of NaCl

$\text{No. of moles}=\text{3.6 g NaCl}\times \dfrac{\text{1 mol NaCl}}{\text{63.54 g NaCl}} = \text{0.0567 mol NaCl}$

Step 2. Convert moles to formula units

$\text{FU} = \text{0.0567 mol NaCl} \times \dfrac{6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ FU NaCl}}{\text{1 mol NaCl}}\\\\= 3.4 \times 10^{22} \text{ FU NaCl}$

There are $\boxed{3.4 \times 10^{22} \text{ FU NaCl}}$ in 3.6 g of NaCl.

What is the smallest particle representing water?

horrorfan [7]

Water is a compound that is made up of oxygen and hydrogen atoms, therefore the smallest particle of water is water molecule. The smallest particle representing water is written as H2O. H2O is the smallest unit to which water can be split while still retaining the properties of water.
