Answer:

n (a neutron)

Explanation:

For a chemical element:

- The lower subscript indicates the atomic number (the number of protons)

- The upper subscript indicates the mass number (the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus)

In the reaction described in the problem, we see that a gamma photon hits a nucleus of Calcium-40, which has

Z = 20 (20 protons)

A = 40 (40 protons+neutrons)

Which means that the number of neutrons is n =  A - Z = 40 - 20 = 20

After the reaction, we have a nucleus of Calcium-39, which has

Z = 20 (20 protons)

A = 39 (39 protons+neutrons)

Which means that the number of neutrons is n =  A - Z = 40 - 39 = 19

So, the nucleus has lost 1 neutron, which is the particle missing in the reaction.

Question 5 (1 point)
Tom [10]

Answer: 18000 coulombs

Explanation:

Given that:

Current, I = 5.0A

Electric charge Q = ?

Time, T = 1 hour

(The SI unit of time is seconds. So, covert 1.0 hour to seconds)

If 1 hour = 60 minutes and 60 seconds = 1 minute

Then, 1.0 hour = (60 x 60)

= 3600 seconds

Since electric charge, Q = current x time

i.e Q = I x T

Q = 5.0 A x 3600 seconds

Q = 18000 coulombs

Thus, 18000 coulombs of charge flows through the lamp in this time.
