Nitrogen can form a diatomic molecule held together by triple bonds.
Answer:
Newton's Cradle is a neat way to demonstrate the principle of the CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM.
What happens here is when the ball on one end of the cradle is swung and it hits the other balls that are motionless, or stationary, the momentum of the swinging ball is transferred to the next ball upon impact.
Momentum is not lost in this action, what happens when it hits the next ball, the momentum is transferred to the next one, and then the next, and the the next, till it reaches the last ball on the other end. Since nothing is next to the last ball, it pushes the ball upwards, which will swing down and repeat the process going the other way.
This also demonstrates the CONSERVATION OF ENERGY. As you will see, the energy continues to move through the other balls, passing it from one ball to the other, which keeps this constantly moving.
Answer:
Ne 20: 10
and
Ne 22: 12
Explanation:
Ne-20:
N = A - Z = 20 - 10 = 10 neutrons
Ne-22:
N = A - Z = 22 - 10 = 12 neutrons
N: number of neutrons
A: mass number
Z: atomic number
Answer:
265.2amu
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Atomic mass = 254.9amu
Abundance of isotope 1 = 72%
Atomic mass of isotope 1 = 250.9amu
Abundance of isotope 2 = 100 - 72 = 28%
Unknown:
Atomic mass of isotope 2 = ?
Solution:
To find the atomic mass of isotope 2, use the expression below:
Atomic mass = (abundance of isotope 1 x atomic mass of isotope 1) + (abundance of isotope 2 x atomic mass of isotope 2)
Now insert the parameters and find the unknown;
254.9 = (0.72 x 250.9) + (0.28 x Atomic mass of isotope 2)
254.9 = 180.648 + 0.28x atomic mass of isotope 2
254.9 - 180.648 = 0.28x atomic mass of isotope 2
74.25 = 0.28 x atomic mass of isotope 2
Atomic mass of isotope 2 = 265.2amu
