Which isotope in each pair is more stable? Why?(d) ¹⁴₇N or ¹⁸₇N

Chemistry

<u>¹⁴₇N</u><u> </u>is the more stable isotope

<h3>Briefly explained</h3>

We have ¹⁴₇N which has a neutron to proton ratio of one, and we look at ¹⁸₇N which has a neutron to proton ratio of 1.57 Again, you look at table 24 to and you see the atomic number of seven and there is really no stable isotope. It has any more than 10 neutrons.

When we have eight, protons will go down seven protons. There's really nothing stable that has more than maybe eight neutrons. So the fact that we have 11 neutrons with ¹⁸₇N suggests that this is very unstable and

¹⁴₇N is the stable isotope of the pair.

<h3>Stable and Unstable Nuclei</h3>

An atom is electrically neutral. It contains an equal number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons and their charges balance. The nucleus however contains only positively charged protons which are closely packed together in a very small volume (remember neutrons have no charge).

From the laws of physics (Coulomb’s Law) one would expect that the protons being of the same charge and so close together would exert strong repulsive forces on each other. The combined gravitational force from the protons and neutrons in a nucleus is insignificant as an attractive force because their masses are so tiny.

This implies there must be an additional attractive force similar in size to the electrostatic repulsion which holds the nucleus together.

Write the ions present in a solution of K2CO3. Express your answers as chemical formulas separated by a comma. Offset subscripts
meriva

Answer:

K ^+ , CO3 ^2-

Explanation:

The compound is potassium trioxocarbonate(IV).

It contains cation (potassium ion) and acid radical ( trioxocarbonate (IV) ion).

Since K is in group 1 of the periodic table, it loses one electron to form ion i.e K^1. trioxocarbonate IV ion has a charge of 2-.and so the ions of the compound are as shown in the answer above.

Answer:

70000 cm in 7km

Explanation:

There are 1000 m and 100 cm in 1 m in 1 km, so to find how many cm are in 7 km you need to do 10000 x 7.  You get 70000

Step 1 is correct.

Step 2.

There are 2 Iron (Fe) atoms in the formula so we will multiply 2 with the relative mass of Fe .

2\cdot 56=112 

Relative mass of Iron atoms in the formula is 112 amu (atomic mass unit)

Step 3.

To find the percentage,

we will divide mass of iron to total mass and equal that to x divided to 100.

\frac { 112 }{ 160 } =\frac { x }{ 100 } \\ \\ 0.7=\frac { x }{ 100 } \\ \\ 0.7=\frac { 7 }{ 10 } =\frac { 70 }{ 100 } \\ \\ \frac { 70 }{ 100 } =\frac { x }{ 100 } \\ \\ x=70

Total mass of iron is 70% of the total mass of the formula.
