6. Why are the atomic masses of elements usually decimal numbers?

Chemistry

The atomic mass of elements are usually decimals as it makes the atomic masses more accurate and exact. The mass of an atom is also the weighted average of the elements known isotopes and since it’s the average, the number is most likely going to be a decimal number.

I hope this helps :)

Complete the following radioactive decay problem.<br> 238<br> Np →<br> 93<br> 0<br> e +<br> - 1
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

238 94Pu

Explanation:

From the question given, we noticed that the element is undergoing beta minus decay. This means that the daughter nuclei obtained will have the same mass number as the parent element and the the atomic number of the daughter nuclei will increase by 1.

Please see attached photo on how to arrive at the answer.

How do scientists describe the behavior of particles in solids and plasmas?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

The properties of a solid are that they form at a low temperature, particles have long range order meaning that the particles are fixed in place, the particles have a defined shape and volume, the solid particles are a low-energy state of matter, and solid particles are dense and incompressible. But on the other hand plasma particles form at high temperatures, plasma particles have short range order meaning that the plasma particles have little interaction, plasma particles fill all available space meaning plasma particles have no fixed shape or volume, plasma particles are the highest energy-state of matter, plasma particles are highly compressible, and plasma particles conduct electricity extremely well.
