How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 48 and its mass number is 167?

1 answer:

6 0

If its atomic number is 48, then it has 48 protons in the nucleus
of each atom. Any more mass than that is supplied by the neutrons
that are mixed in there with the protons.

If the mass is 167, and 48 of those are protons, then there are

(167 - 48) = 119 neutrons

in each nucleus.

Whiat is quantum numbers describes the size and energy of an orbital?

Levart [38]

Answer:

The answer is the principal Quantum number (n)

Explanation:

The principal quantum number is one of the four quantum numbers associated with an atom.

It is denoted by a number n=1,2,3,4 etc

It tells both size (directly) and energy (indirectly) of an orbital.

When n=1 means it is the closest to the nucleus and is the smallest orbital and with increase in principal quantum number, it depicts that size of the orbital is increasing.

It tells the energy of the orbital as well as smaller number means less distance from nucleus and having less energy. Since electrons requires to absorb energy to jump into higher orbitals making n=2,3,4 etc. Thus electrons in the orbitals with higher n number indicates higher energy orbitals.

A car is traveling at 100 km/h when the driver sees an accident 80 m ahead and slams on the brakes. what minimum constant decele

Effectus [21]

Assuming the driver starts slamming the brakes immediately, the car moves by uniformly decelerated motion, so we can use the following relationship
$2aS = v_f^2 - v_i^2$ (1)
where
a is the deleceration
S is the distance covered after a time t
$v_f$ is the velocity at time t
$v_i=100 km/h = 27.8 m/s$ is the initial speed of the car

The accident is 80 m ahead of the car, so the minimum deceleration required to avoid the accident is the value of a such that S=80 m and $v_f=0$ (the car should stop exactly at S=80 m to avoid the accident). Using these data, we can solve the equation (1) to find a:
$a=- \frac{v_i^2}{2 S}= -\frac{(27.8 m/s)^2}{2 \cdot 80 m} =-4.83 m/s^2$
And the negative sign means it is a deceleration.
