Isotopes refer to different atoms of the same element (i.e. same number of protons) that differ in the number of neutrons they have (giving them different atomic weights). Atomic weight is the sum of protons and neutrons (each contributes 1 atomic mass unit).
Carbon has 6 protons by definition. If you have a carbon-13 atom (the 13 referring to its mass), the atom has 13 - 6 = 7 neutrons. Since it's neutral, protons = electrons, so there are also 6 electrons.
Sulfur has 16 protons by definition. If you have a sulfur-32 atom, the atom has 32 - 16 = 16 neutrons. Since it's neutral, protons = electrons, so there are also 16 electrons.
An electron has a negative charge
Answer:
1.2 seconds
Explanation:
distance = ((final speed + initial speed) * time)/2
Here given:
Solving steps:
3.8 = ((0 + 6.4) * time))/2
3.8 = 3.2(time)
time = 3.8/3.2
time = 1.1875 seconds ≈ 1.2 seconds
I calculated on a sheet and used differentiation to solve the problems.
