Why is there no overall electrical charge on an aluminium atom?

1 answer:

3 0

The atoms always have an equal amount of protons and neutrons so lets say if one had 10 positive then it would have 10 negatives making it neutral.
10-10=0

A. The abundance of the 2nd isotope is 48.119%

B. The mass of the 2nd isotope is 108.905 amu

Let the 1st isotope be A

Let the 2nd isotope be B

A. Determination of the abundance of the 2nd isotope

Abundance of isotope A = 51.881%.

<h3>Abundance of isotope B =? </h3>

Abundance of B = 100 – A

Abundance of B = 100 – 51.881

<h3>Abundance of B = 48.119%</h3>

B. Determination of the mass of the 2nd isotope

Atomic mass of silver = 107.868 amu.

Mass of 1st isotope (A) = 106.906 amu

Abundance of isotope A (A%) = 51.881%.

Abundance of isotope B (B%) = 48.119%

<h3>Mass of 2nd isotope (B) =? </h3>

$atomic \: mass = \frac{mass \: of \:A \times \:A\%}{100} + \frac{mass \: of \:B \times \:B\%}{100} \\ \\ 107.868 = \frac{106.906\times \ \: 51.881}{100} + \frac{mass \: of \:B \times \:48.119}{100} \\ \\ 107.868 = \: 55.464 + 0.48119 \times mass \: of \:B \\ \\ collect \: like \: terms \\ \\ 0.48119 \times mass \: of \:B = 107.868 - 55.464 \\ \\ divide \: both \: side \: by \: 0.48119 \\ \\ mass \: of \:B = \frac{107.868 - 55.464 }{0.48119} \\ \\ mass \: of \:B =108.905 \: amu \\ \\$

Therefore, the mass of the 2nd isotope is 108.905 amu

What is an atomic weight?

S_A_V [24]

The average weight of an atom of an element, formerly based on the weight of one hydrogen atom taken as a unit or on 1/16 (0.0625) the weight of an oxygen atom, but after 1961 based on 1/12 the weight of the carbon-12 atom.
