The mass defect for the isotope thorium-234 if given mass is 234.04360 amu is 1.85864 amu.
<h3>How do we calculate atomic mass?</h3>
Atomic mass (A) of any atom will be calculated as:
A = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
In the Thorium-234:
Number of protons = 90
Number of neutrons = 144
Mass of one proton = 1.00728 amu
Mass of one neutron = 1.00866 amu
Mass of thorium-234 = 90(1.00728) + 144(1.00866)
Mass of thorium-234 = 90.6552 + 145.24704 = 235.90224 amu
Given mass of thorium-234 = 234.04360 amu
Mass defect = 235.90224 - 234.04360 = 1.85864 amu
Hence required value is 1.85864 amu.

<span>The correct answer is neither attraction nor repulsion.</span>
<span>Kinetic Molecular Theory explains that gas particles are in constant motion and exhibit perfectly elastic collisions. The motion of gas particles is random, meaning that there are no attractive forces on each other or on their surroundings. When two particles collide, the total kinetic energy is conserved.</span>
all the elements in group 18 are Nobel gases or inert gases . all the elements such as neon , helium, argon etc. ,their outermost shell is completely filled . The noble gases have the largest ionization energies, reflecting their chemical inertness
Since
21.2 g H2O was produced, the amount of oxygen that reacted can be obtained
using stoichiometry. The balanced equation was given: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O and
the molar masses of the relevant species are also listed below. Thus, the
following equation is used to determine the amount of oxygen consumed.
Molar mass of H2O = 18
g/mol
Molar mass of O2 = 32
g/mol
21.2 g H20 x 1 mol
H2O/ 18 g H2O x 1 mol O2/ 2 mol H2O x 32 g O2/ 1 mol O2 = 18.8444 g O2
<span>We then determine that
18.84 g of O2 reacted to form 21.2 g H2O based on stoichiometry. It is
important to note that we do not need to consider the amount of H2 since we can
derive the amount of O2 from the product. Additionally, the amount of H2 is in
excess in the reaction.</span>
