Answer:
D. The nucleus of an atom of lithium splits, resulting in smaller fragments and the release of a large amount of energy.
Explanation:
Fission is the splitting of a nucleus, so this is the only option that involves fission.
A is wrong. Li atoms do not bond to form molecules. Instead, the nuclei are immersed in a sea of electrons.
B is wrong. The joining of two nuclei is fusion.
C is wrong. Adding an electron to an atom of lithium is not a nuclear reaction.
Protons have a mass of 1
Neutrons have a mass of 1
So 13*1 + 14*1 = Mass number 27
Answer:
Compared to the charge of proton the charge of an electron is negative.
Explanation:
An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.
All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.
For example
The carbon have six protons and six neutrons so its atomic mass is 12 amu and atomic number is six.
Electron:
The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.
Symbol= e-
Mass= 9.10938356×10-31 Kg
It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.
Neutron and proton
While neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.
Symbol of proton= P+
Symbol of neutron= n⁰
Mass of proton=1.672623×10-27 Kg
Mass of neutron=1.674929×10-27 Kg
Answer:
The intermediate is carbocation.
Explanation:
The reaction of alkene with an acid to give alcohol is an electrophilic addition reaction.
In electrophilic reaction, the alkene is being attacked by an alkene.
in case of aqueous acid reaction with alkene , the electrophile is [H⁺].
When the proton attacks the alkene it generates carbocation.
The carbocation generated is formed based on stability of carbocation.
The mechanism is shown in the figure.
Answer:
Explanation:
The modern model recognizes particles in the atom, whereas Dalton's model does not.
