Beryllium has an atomic number of 4. How many neutrons does the isotope beryllium-9 have?.

Chemistry
1 answer:
VLD [36.1K]1 year ago
3 0

The number of neutrons possessed by an isotope beryllium-9 is 5.

<h3>What is neutron?</h3>

Neutron is a subatomic particle forming part of the nucleus of an atom and having no charge.

The number of neutrons in the atom of an element can be calculated by subtracting the number of protons or atomic number from the mass number.

That is; no. of neutrons = mass number - no of protons

According to this question, Beryllium has an atomic number or proton number of 4. The number of neutrons in an isotope of beryllium-9 is as follows:

no of neutrons = 9 - 4 = 5

Therefore, the number of neutrons possessed by an isotope beryllium-9 is 5.

A mixture that separates into different layers when you stop stirring it is Select one: a. a solution. b. a suspension. c. a col
leva [86]

Answer: b suspension

a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture that contains solid particles sufficiently large for sedimentation . The particles may be

visible to the naked eye, usually must be larger than one micrometer , and will eventually settle, although the mixture is only classified as a suspension when and while the particles have not settled out. A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the solute particles do not dissolve , but get suspended throughout the bulk of the solvent , left floating around freely in the medium. [1] The internal phase (solid) is dispersed throughout the external phase (fluid) through mechanical agitation , with the use of certain excipients or suspending agents.

An example of a suspension would be sand in water. The suspended particles are visible under a

microscope and will settle over time if left undisturbed. This distinguishes a suspension from a colloid , in which the suspended particles are smaller and do not settle.

Colloids and suspensions are different from

solution , in which the dissolved substance (solute) does not exist as a solid, and solvent and solute are homogeneously mixed.

A horizontal row of elements in the periodic table represents a<br> group<br> period
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Period

Explanation:

Periodic trend along period:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction.

The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required.The electron affinity also increases along period because of greater positive charge.

A deficiency in thiamine (TPP) will directly decrease the activity of which of the following enzymes? a. Pyruvate carboxylase b.
Blababa [14]

Answer:

d. Transketolase

Explanation:

Transketolase utilize thiamine diphosphate (ThDP) as cofactor has reduced activity during the thiamine deficiency and results in the tissue damage. <u>The levels of steady-state mRNA of transketolase in human lymphoblasts, fibroblasts and neuroblastoma cells are found to be lower in the thiamine-deficient cultures.  </u>

Thus, deficiency in TPP directly decrease the activity of enzyme, transketolase.

Can someone please help me with this?--20 pts!
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Compound B is ionic. The electronegativity difference is 2.2, which can be determined by subtracting the electronegativity of Element Y from that of Element Z. Electronegativity differences greater than 1.7 indicate ionic bonds.

Hope that helps.
